    LOL I over heard some place some one put a referance on his paper, when the Ref. was called, he was asked by the Sheriff if the other person had a problem drinking or with substance abuse...
    The referance said Not at all, mater of fact, just the other day he drank a 40 Oz of whiskey right under my nose then a few snorts of some white stuff he was good as new! He has not problem with taking it.....

    A sense of humor always helps with character references: "Yeah, he's a character all right..."

    Just an FYI. I know two people who got their carry permits in Bucks County this year. The county did not call to check references with either of them.

    I recently acquired my CCW from Allegheny county. I used two co-workers as references, neither has a LTC, but supported my right to carry. Neither person was contacted and in 10 days I received a card in the mail instructing me to come back to the courthouse to pick up my license. With the exception of paying twice for parking in downtown Pittsburgh it was a painless process.

    Bummer! Indiana County just sends the LTCF to the recipient in a No. 6 envelope with First Class postage (e.g., a single postage stamp). No letter enclosed, just the plastic LTCF (in its own little LTCF card case).

    Going tomorrow morning to apply for mine in Allegheny.

    Just to be sure; I'm going to 436 Grant Street, right?

    I've got a PA License with an updated ID card and my Vehicle reg. along with 2 references. I called the number on the site and Leanne? in firearms said that's all I would need and one permit will cover all legally owned firearms.

    I was under the impression that you had to obtain one license per firearm. This is good news to me! My question is this: How do they know which ones I own or if they belong to someone else? Will I have to carry proof of ownership or am I in some database somewhere?

    Thanks.

    No No No.

    You get a permit, you can carry any and as many gun(s) as you want.

    Doesn't matter they don't need to know which ones you own or if they are a friends etc...

    no registering or anything.

    I hope I am not hijacking this thread but one followup on that.

    So anyone can have stolen firearms and carry them if they have a LTC?
