Philadelphia LTCF - 45 Days means 45 days.
Thought this deserved it's own thread.
I got a call back this afternoon (got off the phone with her five minutes ago) with a Staff Inspector Levin down at Internal Affairs.
She took the "45 day" dispute to Captain Healy, who is the legal advisor for the PPD, and they sat down to look at the statutes.
According to what she told me over the phone, and she encouraged me to quite her on this - "45 days" refers to "calendar days," and not "business days." The Philadelphia Gun Permit Unit has been incorrectly applying the term "business days" and Captain Healy will be re-instructing them in the coming weeks to begin sticking to the definition as written for "day," which is the 24 hour period between one midnight and the next.
She referred to Title 1's "Rules of Construction" -
§ 1903. Words and phrases.
(a) General rule.--Words and phrases shall be construed according to rules of grammar and according to their common and approved usage; but technical words and phrases and such others as have acquired a peculiar and appropriate meaning or are defined in this part, shall be construed according to such peculiar and appropriate meaning or definition.
Captain Healy will be going to the Gun Permit Unit to make sure that they begin using this interpretation of the word day from now on.Last edited by ViperGTS19801; December 18th, 2012 at 06:30 PM.

Re: Philadellphia - 45 Days means 45 days.
I was just there the other day and they indeed said "45 business days"; so I was happy to see this post - thanks for the info!

As always Viper's on top of things.... now we have to get them to drop the interviews, the photos, fingerprints and extra hoops.

I also was just there today for my renewal and they specifically made a point to say 45 business days. They told me that last time and it was back in a week? We'll see what happens this time.

Re: Philadelphia LTCF - 45 Days means 45 days.
Try § 1908, which speaks specifically to this:
§ 1908. Computation of time.
When any period of time is referred to in any statute, such period in all cases, except as otherwise provided in section 1909 of this title (relating to publication for successive weeks) and section 1910 of this title (relating to computation of months) shall be so computed as to exclude the first and include the last day of such period. Whenever the last day of any such period shall fall on Saturday or Sunday, or on any day made a legal holiday by the laws of this Commonwealth or of the United States, such day shall be omitted from the computation.Last edited by FNG19; December 18th, 2012 at 10:59 PM.

Anyone who doesn't rep Viper for this should be shot for being a traitor to our nation. Thank you Viper.

Re: Philadelphia LTCF - 45 Days means 45 days.
Thank you for running point on so many firearm issues in Philly!
While I am not sure what the follow-through will be, it is really encouraging that they at least acknowledge that it is days and not business days.
