Erie Co, Sheriff

[RoadHog]

Bob Merski is a good guy. Pro gun. If you don't have a criminal record, you should have no problem getting a CCW.

yep, Bob Merski and Sandy Amendola are excellent people. Sgt. Amendola was quite fun to talk to, and approved my CCW in a couple hours. I hope the local sheriff's office isn't downsized. I hear alot of talk about eliminating the Sheriff's dept lately. Hopefully it's just talk.

[Chuck in PA]

Same good experience with both people. Also no prob endorsing the F4's. There ARE some good things about PA!

It looks like the Erie County Sheriff's office has updated their website. The Erie County Sheriff's Firearm Division now has their own page with firearm information and operating hours. There's also a new CCW permit, which has a few changes.
