Let the waiting game begin!
« on: December 05, 2011, 07:54:50 PM »
I submitted everything including my training certificate to NCC in person 11/29/11.  Clerk just said be patient!  It's takes months.

Two weeks down.   I wish I lived in Maine again!  One week and a beer with the chief of police in Old Orchard Beach!

I am still debating if I should get FL or PA to cover PA.  I only travel by plane to FL.  Drive into PA.   Anyone have an options?

Joek,

I'd consider whether or not you'll be taking a firearm with you to FL when you fly.  If so, you're going to need FL anyway.  To me? I'd do both if I thought I was going to fly to FL often enough.  Another consideration for FL... if you're going on vacation -- are you even allowed into Disney with your pea shooter?  To me? just another hassle.  When I fly, even if I can carry - I usually dont.  ** depends on where I'm going. 

Since PA is close and is fairly cheap, I'd be getting PA as well.  If you get pulled over in PA, it's going to go over smoother than you pulling a FL permit out and trying to explain to the nice officer that you have reciprocity there. 

Just my .02.

Have family in Florida, so I applied there (10 days ago). They already have my application in process.

I also plan on getting the PA permit, following Moosie's logic.

I've been pulled over in PA while armed (and driving way too fast).
I gave my permit to the officer with my license. He asked me where my gun was, gave the permit back to me, and wrote me a much cheaper ticket than I deserved.

I was @@@@ glad to have an actual PA LTCF in my wallet, instead of another state's permit.

Guess I'll get FL and PA once my DE shows up.

You can submit your documentation for FL at any time....No need to wait for your DE.

PA does require your DE however...

PA only, if it were me.  PA is what 20-25 dollars for 5 years.  FL is 117 for 7 years and renewals are the SAME 117 for 7.
Your DE will cover you in FLA when you get it.  Put the almost 100.00 you same into ammo and practice more....
