[bmel17]

Was informed today when I went to the Chester County courthouse that CC will not issue a LTCF to a non-res unless they are a police officer.

I was instructed to go to Del Co

Are you saying you're an out of state resident (your profile says Pennsylvania) or a resident of Delco trying to get a LTCF in Chester Co.?

I'm a DE resident that works in Kennett. Chester Co would not issue to a non res. They said Del Co would so I ended up applying there today.

Is the OPer a resident of Delaware County in PA or a resident of Delaware state?

[bmel17]

BimmerJon is correct:

18 Pa.C.S. § 6109: Licenses
