CCW permit revoked in Philadelphia

[CountryMick]

Awesome. OP's friend is the victim of a crime, reports the crime, and gets HIS rights revoked for reporting it. Makes a person question who the Philly police are truly serving and protecting.

OP should make note of that post regarding the law stating that a certified letter explaining the reason for revoking the LTCF was required, but apparently not furnished.

Would think that a lawyer could get the LTCF restored by challenging Philadelphia to produce proof of delivery for the certified letter revoking the LTCF. Sounds like a lawyer can help the OP's friend, but IANAL so what do I know.

He should say that his permit was revoked if anyone ask .
But I don't see this question on the application !!!!!!!!

You're right, just looked at the PA form. Might have been on Utah.

Good luck! Philthy-delphia put out a flyer saying that if you had a firearm stolen from your vehicle, they would revoke your LTCF. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the law that backs their play.

Did Holder just go to work in Philli?

[indianjack]

They might but the reason/explanation, to any reasonable individual, should be accepted. After all, it wasn't because HE did something wrong - for Pete's sake, HE was the victim...

That argument will never work in a bureaucracy.

Which one would you recomind ?

Also when he moves to another county should he just aply for a new permit ?

When Philadelphia improperly revoked my LTCF I used Jon Mirowitz. He is on Duncannon Street in Philadelphia. He specializes in PA UFA type cases. He is not cheap but as the old saying goes . .. . you get what you pay for.....

For a case like this, I'd recommend Jon as well.

But first, since it's been a couple of years since the revocation, I'd just apply for a new LTCF. Ignore the previous revocation (unless asked, in which case, tell the truth, that it was revoked for having a telescopic sight stolen.)


If it's issued, great. If not, the denial starts a new 30-day appeal window, and I'd quickly hire Jon to handle the appeal to L&I (Philly set up its appeals via Licensing and Inspections instead of the Court of Common Pleas, which is weird, but then again, the PPD is the issuing authority in the unified city/county of Philadelphia instead of the Sheriff, as it is in every other county.)

Jon's office number is: (215) 324-0603

I see no question on the PA application that asks if the applicant has ever had a license/permit revoked. The only reference to another permit is if the applicant is an out-of-state resident - then you have to submit a photocopy of your permit from your home state, if you have one.

Just chiming in here. Lancaster County does. They have two forms. The state form and then their form. The second form asks have you ever had a LTCF Revoked?

You don't fill out the form, you wont get a license.


Here is a question since you if you get denied, what if the person doesn't have money for the attorney? Can they just go take a swing at it themselves?

Which is absolutely contrary to the statutes:

(c) Form of application and content.--The application for a license to carry a firearm shall be uniform throughout this Commonwealth and shall be on a form prescribed by the Pennsylvania State Police.

The form may contain provisions, not exceeding one page, to assure compliance with this section. Issuing authorities shall use only the application form prescribed by the Pennsylvania State Police.

Do we need any further proof that Philly is run by organized crime?
The organization in this case is the PPD and it's ring leader chief Ramsey.
