LTCF - Error

[jloop10]

I obtained my LTCF about 5 months ago prior to even owning a handgun in anticipation of purchasing on. I went to the Sherrif's office (Berks) filled out the paperwork, waited and got my LTCF rather quickly (45mins tops). They had me verify name and address I did and went on with my day. I got home and stored the license for future use. I recently purchased a handgun and just recently became comfortable CC. Just a couple of days ago I reached for my LTCF and decided to check it. I noticed that my RACE was incorrectly noted on the LTCF. It shows "W" and yet I am Hispanic. Before anyone gives me the speech, I know it was my responsibility to make sure it was correct before I left that day. Unfortunately it was an oversight on my part and my LTCF has been stored since the day I got it. Is this something I should be concerned with and take care of immediately? I'm surprised I didn't catch this when I first got my license. Before anyone gives me the speech, I know it was my responsibility to make sure it was correct before I left that day. Unfortunately it was an oversight on my part.

This sounds like a very minor issue, but worthy of correction. Call your local Sheriff's Office and get it corrected before it has a chance to become a larger problem later. Like when a LEO is giving you the stink-eye over it.

If you're a Mark Texeira, Antonia Banderas, or Desi Arnaz type of Hispanic... then I wouldn't worry about it.



But if you're more a Sammy Sosa, Pele', or Miguel Tejada type of Hispanic, well... maybe you should get it corrected.

Just go down to the Sheriff's office and have it changed. I've had to have corrections on my LTCF a couple times(different renewals) after having had the license in my possession a little while.

You may want to call ahead and let them know you need a correction made, and what it is. They may even just mail you a replacement.

Best to call the Sheriff Office to check, but that shouldn't be a problem considering the primary comparator is your picture on the license. I can see how a W could be mistaken for H too. My PA LTCF has one of the #'s in my zip as 8 instead of 3, my Utah CFP has an N in my middle name instead of an H. Neither spelling error gives me any reason to have the licenses corrected.

ETA: I can't imagine a cop will raise a stink with "You don't look white". My Utah CFP does not have "Race" at all.

In 2005 when I renewed my LTCF they made it out with an expiration date of 2015 (it's good for 5 years not 10). I didn't see this immediately but once I did I took it back in and showed them. They used White-Out over the 15 in the date and wrote in 10.

I was pretty shocked but ...

It was this way until I renewed earlier this year.

Wow, 45 minutes to get your LTCF in Berks. It has been 30 days for me in Northampton and still no LTCF in the mail for me.

...Love it! ) Thanks for all the info!

Dude! You got a freebie! Don't give it away.

That's like a "get out of jail free" card!
