First time permit application(s)

[dgm1012]

After browsing the forum for awhile and finding out some great information, I thought I'd share my experience in applying for PA and FL permit and make a record.

I submitted my local police check card to Lower Merion (7/22/14) and was told it would be sent to the sheriff in 3 weeks.
Check cleared (7/23/14)

Called the sheriff to check if it has been received today (7/29/14), it has not. I was told on the phone that normally they have been receiving the local police cards within 2 weeks of dropping them off.

Called lower merion police to check status, it was emailed to sheriff today (7/31/14) with an apology it was not done sooner, officer was out for past few days.

Went in this morning (8/1/14) and was in and out in under 20 minutes.

This coming Saturday (8/2/14) I am taking a NRA pistol course and will be applying for AZ.

Mailed in AZ application Thursday (8/7/14)
