I thought PA was a "Shall Issue" state. In York County you fill out the standard form & if you meet the legal requirements per the state, you get your LTCF. Some friends asked how to get their "permits" so I made it easy for them & printed out the LTCF form (and also a copy of the flyer from this site). One of my interested friends lives in Lancaster, so I went thru their site...

...to get the info specific for him, and I was shocked to see there is an additional questionaire required in that county.

This additional form wouldn't be a problem for my friend, but what is the sheriff doing here? Are they fishing for a reason to not issue? Some of it such as birth place & citzenship is even redundant when compared with the standard state form.
I only have had experience with my home county before this so I don't know... maybe this is common practice for other counties???? But it just seems unlawful to me like he's trying to find a reason to deny. Is the Lancaster County Sheriff committing a rights violation here?
