Talking Just saying HI

hows it going,
i just moved to PA from California and wanted to say hello, since im obviously new to this site. Can anyone shed some light as to where i can obtain an application for concealed carry, im in bucks county. any info would be greatly appreciated, i here its farely easy to get one in PA, becuz california is ridiculous with anything having to do with guns and stuff.


P.S. any good shooting ranges around bucks county? interested in rifle 200 yards or more, archery, and pistol. once again, thanks.

Welcome to the site and to PA. I am a recent transplant as well. I was born and raised in CA (Monterey area) and came here after a brief detour in Reno. Someone from your county should be able to help you with the permit, I recently got mine and it was a very easy process. Welcome.

Welcome to PA...

The county sheriff is the one to see. Here is a link providing information

As you're new to PA, you will have to have two persons (not relatives) attest you are of "good character". You will also have to prove residency...that may take a few months to do, I'm not sure and you'll have to ask the sheriff.
Also, the background check may be a bit of a hassle since you just moved here.

Good luck and be safe!! So, what brings you to PA?
