    Default pre-UFA permit/license/whatever

    Does anybody remember what it was called? I had one (ca. 1989 - 1995) but no longer have a copy.

    It's been a License to Carry Firearms since the UFA was enacted on September 1, 1931.

    The UFA apparently went into effect on September 1, 1931. This article was published the day before.

    On September 15, 1932, it was still called a license to carry firearms. The Gettysburg Times:

    Today, it's still called a license to carry firearms.

    No kidding? I was thinking the UFA was from 1997. The one I applied for went through the township chief of police. Maybe it was just an additional level of nonsense (and a good reason to get rid of townships as government entities).

    Well, it was revised in the late 1980's when they made most of the state shall issue, and then again around 1995 I believe. For some reason I think Philadelphia was may issue until the '95 revisions.

    I'm sure others know the details better than I do. I may be entirely incorrect

    You can check out newspaper archives for more details too: http://www.google.com/archivesearch/advanced_search

    Both of my 'city'-issued LTCF's were called by that name.

    Scranton's went a step forward..no barrels under 5 inches and no automatics.

    I can only vouch for the early-ish '90's Monroe County.

    It was an LTCF, laminated, with a submitted passport size pic on the reverse side.
