    at least you don't live in philly. My police check card took less than a week. I picked it up at my local pd, took it to norristown and was in and out in less than a half hour. It is a pain in the ass though. I thought you didn't need the check card to renew?
    Now less Glock, more H&K :)

    You don't need a police check card at all

    Making you do that is in violation of state law

    I know you guys want your licenses, but allowing the PDs to illegally fingerprint you, interview you, require a police check card, document your tattoos, etc is only reinforcing to them that their illegal activities are acceptable

    Keep on allowing the Sheriff's to break the law and you will find yourself without any LTCF in the future. Utah is attempting to change their law to require a license from your home state before they issue. Who knows if this will pass. If it does pretty soon you will find other states will follow. Don't assume just because one sheriff follows the law more than another that this is permissible. The law is the law and needs to be followed 100%.

    Well, they still haven't got their shit together. Did my renewal easy enough, but I was totally able to bypass security again in the exact manner I warned them about previously.

    When you call for info they try to give as little as possible.They figure if it is too much of a pain you will give up. Never give up!!!

    It took me one day to get my PD check card done, drove to Norristown and had my LTCF half an hour later.

    G/F lives in Montgomery county and was inquiring about getting her's too. Where does one get the PD check card? I'm only familiar with the Lehigh Valley and Pocono counties procedures.

    Not that I agree with this practice, but to answer your question, you can DL one here:
    Local Police Check Form


    Other Montco LTCF process details here.

    That all sounds a little strange. I moved here from NJ less than 2 months ago. I was told to go to the local police station and fill out the background check form. It took 2-days for them to complete the check. Once it was complete, I picked up the stamped form and took it to the sheriffs office. Unfortunately it was after 4:30 and they stop doing the permits around 3:30pm. They took my application though and said they would call me when it was ready. They phoned 2 days later and told me to come pick up my permit. The cost was $20.00. They took the photo and also laminated my permit. It was a very easy process and they could not have been nicer all around.

    Of course I come from a state that was in no way firearm friendly, and the process I had to go through for each individual firearm was crazy.... so I guess anything less than that is great.

    Sorry you had such a hard time. Sounds like you received some poor information going in. Check out the links on the Montgomery County Sheriff Departments website. I followed the instructions to a T and had no issue.
