The aggravation.

I first got my (Philly) CCW ten years ago- my last renewal was 5 years ago and it took 8 months! Now my renewal is due again- the third time paying $18.00, the third time getting fingerprinted, the third time sitting for hours in that stinking little office.

And now besides asking the city for permission, I need permission from 2 other people- and they have to be city residents. So if you are maybe new to the city, you might be screwed. If maybe your friends or neighbors (besides having to let them know you carry, which maybe you don't want to) are afraid to fill out the reference form because they fear being liable if you go postal- you are screwed. Forgive me for sounding negative, but is this really a RKBA?

So maybe I should just risk carrying w/o going through this nonsense again. What's next- whose permission will I need next time?

Has anybody, or any group ever even challenged this '2 references' hurdle?

Am I the only one p/o'd over this?
