LTCF up for renewal does Montco Sherriffs dept send renew letter?

So I am up for renewal on my LTCF in December and my question is does the Sherriffs dept send out renewal letters or do I just fill out a renewal form and head to Norristown courthouse?

They are supposed to send a letter.. I would not hold my breath and wait. Just go in and renew

Thanks that's what I thought.

They are supposed to send a renewal application.

Bill

§ 6109. Licenses.

(f) Term of license.--

(1) A license to carry a firearm issued under subsection (e) shall be valid throughout this Commonwealth for a period of five years unless extended under paragraph (3) or sooner revoked.

(2) At least 60 days prior to the expiration of each license, the issuing sheriff shall send to the licensee an application for renewal of license. Failure to receive a renewal application shall not relieve a licensee from the responsibility to renew the license.

Bucks County is supposed to send a letter too. When I asked why I didn't get one, the woman said they simply don't have the time or manpower to put together all those letters each month, day, week, etc. So they don't and it's the LTCF holders responsibility to renew

"We're too busy to obey the law."

I wish I could use that excuse.

I'll let Bucks County slide. They process in about 15 minutes.

While I do agree with you, the state also gives us a 6 month grace period after expiration and an affirmative defense to knock down a felony charge of concealing without a permit if caught after that.

All that said, why don't we join the other 11 states that have constitutional carry and relieve our sheriffs of this huge and costly burden?

Got mine from Montco about 45 days before exp.
