That sounds like registration to me.

Anyone from Montgomery have any problems like this?


Edit: Another thing, why the hell does Berks require 2 references from me? Where is the legal justification for this? Why isn't anyone suing to have uniform application costs and application requirements throughout the state?

Actually, the Sheriff is required to do a "character" check on you(see hi-lited text below). And to do that, the Sheriff/Deputy would have to speak to character witnesses, which would be your references. ...so it IS a requirement.

§6109. Licenses.

(d) Sheriff to conduct investigation.-The sheriff to whom the application is made shall investigate the applicant's record of criminal convictions, shall investigate whether or not the applicant is under indictment for or has ever been convicted of a crime punishable by impris*onment exceeding one year, shall investigate whether the applicant's character and reputation are such that the applicant will not be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety and shall investigate whether the applicant would be precluded from receiving a license under subsection (e)(1) or section 6105(h) (relating to persons not to possess, use, manufacture, control, sell or transfer firearms) and shall conduct a criminal background, juvenile delin*quency or mental health check following the procedures set forth in section 6111 (relating to firearm ownership).
