LTCF Question regarding county
Hey all. I feel like this is a dumb questio, but I am currently considering applying for my LTCF and was unsure of something. While I do live in Allegheny County, I go to school in Westmoreland and, as a result of this, am in Westmoreland far more than I am in Allegheny. Can I apply for said permit in Westmoreland County or am I required to do so in my county of residence (Allegheny)? Thanks in advance for any and all info.

Do you live in housing during school time or commute?

Here is the legal requirement:
