LTC Permit by County

[Gaff It]

Not sure if this has been discussed. Wanted to know if you are a resident of PA and you want to obtain a Conceal Carry Permit, must you apply in the county where you reside or can you submit your application in any PA County? For example, if I live in Montgomery County but hunt often in Carbon County, can I apply there for a permit or do I have to apply in MONTCO.

You must apply in the county in which you reside.

18 Pa.C.S. § 6109: Licenses
(a) Purpose of license.--A license to carry a firearm shall be for the purpose of carrying a firearm concealed on or about one's person or in a vehicle throughout this Commonwealth.
(b) Place of application.--An individual who is 21 years of age or older may apply to a sheriff for a license to carry a firearm concealed on or about his person or in a vehicle within this Commonwealth. If the applicant is a resident of this Commonwealth, he shall make application with the sheriff of the county in which he resides or, if a resident of a city of the first class, with the chief of police of that city.
