NJ Resident with a Non-Res Florida Permit

[Leade45]

That company, PDS, once had PA on that list of states that honor the FL permit....
Interesting, especially since this company is based in PA

I find it increasingly annoying that an organization that is sworn to uphold the laws of the state of Pennsylvania, increasingly see the need to "interpret" those laws to reflect it's own fascist views.

The PSP choose to ignore the law that says they can't keep a registry, and keep a data base instead.

Now the PSP sees fit to interpret and twist this to make criminals of more upstanding citizens.

If you read the the code it says "any valid permit " is good to transport in a vehicle.

How are they going to "INTERPRET" their way around that! Check out #11

Anyone either resident or non-resident of PA holding a valid Florida permit is 100% legal to carry concealed in PA. This is confirmed by writing in a letter I received from Commissioner Miller of the PSP after I had complained to my state rep that the PSP were trying to interpret laws on their own.

The major update is now the PA Attorney General finally put a note on the website that the state recognizes the FL permit regardless if there is a FL address or out of state address on the FL permit.

Florida does not issue non resident permits. Their permits are the same for residents, your's just has a out of state address.

You may want to print this out and keep it with you while in PA.
