Permit Application References
Do the 2 (non-family) references on the Allegheny county pistol permit application have to be Allegheny county (or even PA) residents? I just moved here last May and besides an aunt and uncle that live in the area, the only local person I could really list is my boss.

Re: Permit Application References
Legally, no. There is no requirement. Some sheriffs however, choose to ignore the law and make their own requirements. I'm not sure about Allegheny County, but I'm sure someone out that way can chime in on the subject.

Re: Permit Application References
FWIW, I got my license today and both my references were from NY.

I've never heard of anyone's references being contacted, FYI. (For Allegheny and Westmoreland County applications.)

Re: Permit Application References
Mine expired and I'm a PA resident, in Allegheny County. I suspect they only check if you have summary offenses. A general background seems to be all they check.

Re: Permit Application References
In Cumberland County, my 2 references were never contacted (and they gave me my license in about 10 minutes, so there wasn't time anyway). Ditto for my wife.
Mind you, as others have said, it varies county-by-county and I don't know how it is in Allegheny.
