Interesting contrast between DE and PA
« on: November 08, 2021, 04:06:38 PM »
So my DE CCDW permit finally arrived in the mail on Saturday. 178 days since they cashed my check... I work in Philly, so wanted to also apply for PA - which for out-of-state residents requires a copy of your home state's carry permit. Anyway, York PA is one of the only "close by" PA counties currently accepting non-resident applications. It's all done online, so I applied online yesterday (Sunday). This morning, I received an email that my application has been approved, and instructions to make an appointment to pick it up in person, with available slots open as soon as today!

Many counties are illegally refusing to accept applications from out of state.  Even so called “constitutional” sheriffs like Bunny in Chester County and Berks County.  For now we will have to travel to central PA

I have no NEED to go to Pennsylvania, so I say Screw them and their permit. There are plenty of other states I can go to if I choose. PA. just needs to know that if I don't go to PA., my money goes where I go and they lose the tourist bucks that I spend. So how is that a win for PA.? Boycott PA.

Here's the contrast with Arizona
« Reply #6 on: November 09, 2021, 12:34:31 PM »
I let my PA LTCF expire last year, and my Delaware CCDW became invalid when I moved to Arizona.

Unless I want to carry in "places that serve alcohol for consumption on the premises" (and I don't drink), I don't need a permit to bear arms here, and neither do you.
When I get an AZ permit, I'll be able to carry in most states, including DE and PA.
I can use my DE permit to satisfy AZ's training requirement.

I'll be glad to pick y'all up at the airport...

What about Lancaster County? Closer then York for me. I am like 5 minutes from PA and Chester is probably the closest or Delaware County.

I went to Media until last year, Covid.  But Reading (I think) was in-out not problem.  Nice drive.

I think it's been noted that Lancaster County is no longer providing non resident licensing services. I'm sure I'll be corrected if wrong

NormH3, you are CORRECT.

PRECOVID, Media was two trips.  1 to drop off application, 2nd to pick up LTCF.  Not sure what it is today.

Same experience for me. I applied Friday night and got the approval some time after lunch today. So assuming they started working on it at 9am Monday morning, it took them about 4 hours to process it and send out an email.

I went with York because of the experience the OP had. It was very easy to apply online. You just fill out a form and upload pics of your ID and CCW license.

Question. Your 2 references for the PA permit. Do they need to be PA residents?
