Default Bucks County Permit Application Question

I moved to Bucks a few months back and on their website they state:

"If applicant’s license or identification card does not have their current address, and they have an update card, then they must also provide a current utility bill with there present address."

Now here is the predicament. I had to renew my DL a few weeks before I moved so my DL has my old Delaware County address and I have an update card with my new address. But, my utilities are included in my rent lease, so I don't have a utility bill with my present address.

Is there some other form of proof I can bring to replace the utility bill?

Might call the permit office and ask them, not that they definitely even know the answer.

Ditto - I would call to get a definitive answer. The lady who took my application was EXTREMELY friendly and helpful. From the logbook I saw, they must process at least 20 some apps per day and must have come across this situation before.

Bucks County issued some 2,451 LTCFs in 2006 according to PSP statistics. That's an average of over 85 per week.

They also issued some 220 Sportsman's Permits and had 107 Revocations (reasons not stated).

Lastly, some 9,633 handguns were sold (that's 185.2 per week).

For other counties, the 2006 statistics are located here.

Makes me proud to say that I grew up in Allegheny County. By far the most gun friendly county in the state.

It would be nice of someone with the data and skill would come up with some per capita data on these numbers.

Just to spam my own site a bit, the PAFOA also publishes these statistics (from the same source)
