Question about Non-Resident LTCF

[norom726]

Hi...

My son is in the military, and currently has paperwork pending in NY for his CCW. He will have an interview with a judge when he gets back from Afghanistan in a couple of months. Then the judge will make the decision whether to grant him the permit, or not.

His father passed away 2 months ago, and I am now having to sell the house. I'm hoping he has his interview, and the judge makes his decision before the house is sold. Technically, he will no longer be a resident of NY. He'll be coming and going from my house here in PA.

What must he do in order to CC here in PA? Is there anything I can do to expedite the paperwork for him? I have his power of attorney.

Thanks for any help...
T.

In Lancaster county it took me a grand total of 20 min and a $20 bill to get my LTCF. In PA you have to go to the county Sheriffs office and fill out some paperwork. A decision must be made within 45 days I believe. In most counties you will walk in with money and walk out with a PA LTCF like I did. Other counties in and around Philly are a hassle. Which county will he be a resident of. Here is the PA form that can be filled out ahead of time. Some counties will have their own forms to be filled out.

Since he will no longer be a NY resident, I don't think he will get the NY permit.

Here is the link to the York County Sheriff...it explains the process for your county here in PA.

Don't waste you time or money. He isn't going to get an approval either way

Why do you say he wouldn't get it either way?

It's NY......

Edit. Just read he is looking to get his PA LTCF.
PA requires non res's to have a permit from their home state first.

He'll have to wait until moved here to PA

While as a NY resident - some rural counties of NYS issue pretty much on a "shall issue" basis - even many full carry permits. Per the Heller decision, the restricted "residence" permits really cannot be denied.


But once the guy becomes a PA resident - any NY permit is no longer valid. (exception for those that own and run some sort of business in NY).

Why doesn't he switch his residency to PA now?

I don't understand. If he will become a PA resident soon, why even bother with the NY permit since, I don't believe, no other state gives reciprocity to a NY permit anyway... so what's the point of getting one since it seems that NY won't honor it once he becomes a PA resident?

A number of states give reciprocity to NY. NY doesn't give reciprocity to any other states.
