    Default Time to renew C.C.W. license

    I have had a license for concealed carry for several years. Can L.E. explain why I need references each time I renew? And why my employer name and address has to be included? I suspect they inform the employers that someone working for them has a CCW license. I live in Beaver Cty.

    Thanks!

    If they contact your references or your employer (and most don't) they are not legally permitted to tell them you are applying for a LTCF.

    OASN, prepare to get flamed for not calling it a LTCF in three, two, one...

    Statute obligates Sheriffs to use the form "promulgated by the Pennsylvania State Police". That form requests reference and employment info. The form is the same whether you are a new applicant or a renewal.

    And yet, my employer information was blank, and my references were never contacted.

    So much for uniformity, eh?

    While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.

    Every state, no matter what you wanna call it (Concealed Weapons Permit, CCW, LTCF) covers more than just concealed carry. Concealed weapons permits cover more than just concealed carry in EVERY state. I don't get why people make such a big deal out of this... it's just semantics.

    I use both terms. CCW is more widely used on the Innertubes than LTCF is.

    Flame me all ya want, you know I don't care.

    Four years ago the DELCO Sheriff did just that. At the time he was doing a lot of "wrong" things. I contacted the Pa Attorney General to no avail.

    I have heard he has gotten better but not perfect, we'll see next year.

    Hey, we all know just because something is illegal doesn't mean the government won't do it .
