Lancaster County Will stop Issuing Non Resident Permits

[ThePixelated]

Chester County does not accept out of state applications. 

Well that really STINKS.

It dose. 

Sheriff Welsh came to a UT CCDW class I was assisting with.  They introduced
me to her.  Nice lady very PRO2A.  When she came to me to be finger printed I said
I know who they said you were but I don't know you, may I see ID please.  She w/o
issue pulled out drivers license.  Then rolled her prints.

Yes.  That’s “Bunny” Welsh.  Claims to be pro gun but denies non residents and makes Chesco residents wait

[SturmRugerSR9]

"Bunny" must  be under real political pressure to yield to this nonsense.

Sometimes “pro-gun” doesn’t mean that anyone else’s gun rights matter.  Remember, “... some animals are more equal than others.”

IIRC, we can renew PA LTCF at any time.  If so, I'll be headed north before Jun 1st.  

Pennsylvania does recognize NH non-resident ($100 for 5 years)

IANAL, but I think NH is a NO GO.

2nd paragraph of the agreement.

By my reading the NH non-resident permit would be recognized by PA. The second paragraph is a description of the purpose and mentions “citizens” of NH but the first enumerated paragraph states “ will recognize valid New Hampshire permits” without limit to resident permits. Then again, PA could revise the 2004 reciprocity agreement at any time as they did with AZ, FL, & UT among others.

Just found this....

Pennsylvania recognizes concealed carry licenses issued by states without applying for a separate Pennsylvania concealed carry license – if the concealed carry license holder is (1) a resident of that state and (2) 21 years of age or older. Pennsylvania specifically recognizes concealed carry licenses from the following states regardless of reciprocity type:

That would be great but De is not on that list .

So just to be clear, if we have a PA non resident from lancaster, it will still be valid in PA after they stop issuing the permits, correct?

Yes, your PA LTCF is valid through its marked expiration date.

Thanks, saw conflicting information so I just wanted to clear that up.

Heading to Lancaster tomorrow morning for the and 1 of the kids to get PA carry, I will report back on any issues but I am thinking it will be good for 5 years. Also side trip to get salt for pool at Cope, kill 2 birds in 1 trip.

[oldgraygeek]

A friend (not on the forum) got his permit in Lancaster last week, and they assured him it is valid until its expiration date.

Wife and son were in and out 1/2 hour, good for 5 years. Everybody in line was from DE.

Guess I'm done for on the PA permit deal. Friday is the 1st of June and I can't get to Lancaster to renew. My permit is good until October. I guess I'll just have to hope something changes and they start reissuing to De. permit holders again.

You do have the option of other counties.  Berks(Reading) is same day in and out.  Delaware County (Media) you have to make two trips.

Remember that if you have a carry license from any state you may carry in your vehicle.  You may also open carry on foot without a license Except in the city of Philadelphia. The only reason you really need a Pennsylvania license to carry a firearm is to carry concealed on your person on foot and also to carry in the city of Philadelphia

I might also add That a license covers you in a gun free school zone.
