NJ resident-PA concealed carry nonresident

[lemmiewinks69]

I'm an NJ resident, but i go to school in Scranton. When I turn 21 in April the first thing i would like to do, before I go to the bar, is apply for my concealed carry permit, just to have it. However, i know that you have to have a similar permit in your home state to be able to have the PA permit. As most of you know Nazi New Jersey does not issue too many carry permits, its discretionary.

Am i pretty much guaranteed not being able to get the concealed carry permit??
any help i appreciate, thanks

You will not be eligible for a PA non-resident LTCF. I'd suggest you look into FL or UT non-resident licenses/permits.

BTW, the legality of transporting your weapon in/out of NJ for the purposes of carrying legally while in PA has been debated numerous times on here. Probably something you will want to look into.

You will Not get a NJ carry permit, don't even try.
Your best bet is either a Florida or Utah carry permit.

In PA we don't have a concealed carry permit, we have a license to carry firearms. Do me a favor and take a cab home after that trip to the bar, it guarantees that your night will end well.

Living in NJ, how is he legally going to transport it to PA?

If he rents an apartment or something, that would count as a residence, no?

How does that help assuming that he wants to bring a handgun to/from his NJ home?

he can only bring his gun to the range in PA when driving thru NJ.
