To All You Permit Nazis - LTCF=License=Permit

[Kratos]

EDIT - Before reading, try to remember something that gave you a positive view of yourself.


First of all, the importance of language is to convey something. If an LEO asks for your gun permit, you know he is referring to your LTCF.

Secondly, just because it says License To Carry Firearms, does not mean it is not also a permit. Most people say turn signal, I call it a turning indicator. Neither is more correct then the other.

To those that insist on "correcting" every reference to a LTCF being a permit, is that your way asserting your knowledge of PA firearm laws, or is it a deeper issue? Whatever the case may be, I just wanted to let you know it is correct to refer to a LTCF as a permit or a license.

EDIT - Just wanted to clarify this is not about the use of CCW Permit in lieu of LTCF.

Here's an illustration of my point.

Grumpy Old Man - "You got a permit for that thing son?"(Tries not to fall asleep)

Elitist Gun Owner - "No, but I have a license for it."(Thinks to himself about how clever he is)

Me - "If you have a license, you also have a permit, because they mean the exact same thing!"(Think to myself how the Elitist gun owner is not clever at all)
