Once you either leave NY You have to surrender your License ! You can get an Non-Resident LTCF but need to show an address in Pa. Not sure how NY looks upon being licensed in two States but knowing NY you should consult with your issuing authority in NY before trying to circumvent NYs Laws ! IANAL but GUNLAWYER is on this site with more corrective info than what I gave ! MDT
What do you mean by "full carry" and how did you pull that off in New York?
I think the OP wants a non res Pa ltcf.Quote:

your LTCF will be issued anywhere from the same day to 45 days depending on the department. You do have to apply in person, so seeking a department that issues instantly would be convenient. FWIW my county issues immediately upon clearing PICS, and does issue to NYS residents with unrestricted permits.
It's not uncommon for rural counties in the NYS to issue unrestricted pistol permits (as I believe they're called).Quote:

You don't need to have a PA address to get a non res license. That would kinda defeat the point. I don't think the op is trying to circumvent anything. It sounds like he already has a NY carry permit. He just wants a PA ltcf for when he's traveling.Quote:

It's best to call around and find a county that will issue same day to non residents. By law all counties are supposed to issue non resident ltcf, but many do not. You might have to drive a couple hours to find one that is easy to do same day unfortunately. I believe a lot of the border counties are more problematic.
My friend at work is a NY resident and got a PA non resident lctf. He couldn't believe how easy it was. He got his in Harrisburg. Pike County no longer issues these.
Thank you for explaining.Quote:

The NY licensed person should check with a few close to him county sheriffs departments to see which one will issue to them.
The little voices in my head want to ask OP if he made it through the process of a NYS license/permit WHY is he coming here asking advice vs researching the law. Oh how I struggle some days to keep my filter in place. :rolleyes:
