Bucks County Permit Process
I'm new to the site and did a pretty thorough search to see if anyone posted about their experiences getting a carry permit in Bucks. I am looking to apply for mine in the near future. I really didn't find anything, so I figured I'd post and ask for some responses. Thanks.
Re: Bucks County Permit Process
As long as your PICS comes back clean, it's a pretty painless process. I was able to get my LTCF over lunch. As long as you follow the directions on the county website you shouldn't have any problems. See: http://www.buckscounty.org/governmen...onsPermit.aspx
Re: Bucks County Permit Process
Thanks for the reply. I read that page on the website and know what I have to do to actually apply. I've also read things about the sheriff's department calling people's employers, etc. I am wondering about that kind of thing and whether or not it's an issue in this county, as well as any other things I might not be aware of. IMHO, it's none of my employer's bleeping business let alone the kind of response it would probably generate in today's world.

I can only speek to my experience, but I know that neither my employer or references were called.
Re: Bucks County Permit Process
I received my Bucks permit in 3 days, no employer or personal references were contacted. It was pretty painless, as they took the picture and everything right there at the counter.

Re: Bucks County Permit Process
Thanks for the replies! I had heard rumors that the current sheriff was sort of an "anti" and had some concerns.
Re: Bucks County Permit Process
I don't think it took any more then 3 or 4 days to get my permit either. And no one was called either.
Being a Permanent Resident seems to cause people more issues then it should, and I was a little concerned about applying but it was easy and no issues.

Since PA is a " shall issue " state it doesn't matter if any given sherrif is anti. If you pass the test he has no choice but to issue.
Re: Bucks County Permit Process
Understood. Thanks for the replies. Sounds like it won't be too bad compared to some of the other counties.
