    Default Franklin County "explaination"

    I'm getting my LTCF from Franklin County. On the website ( http://www.franklincountypa.gov/inde...carry-firearms ) it says "Please be specific when requesting the type of license you want…multiple check offs are OK. _When checking “Self Defense” please give a short statement under “Other” to explain why this category is needed… (Example:“Carry money home from business” or “Transport gun from business to home”)_"

    What gives? Is this seriously a requirement? If I don't put anything can they refuse?

    I answered a question about that on an older form many years ago. My short "other" answer was I am out in the woods walking or at a remote camp a lot by myself. Period. That's all I wrote. Now I could add I'm old and decrepit plus I am out in the woods walking or at a remote camp a lot by myself.
    Ask people you know who are LTC from Franklin County and ask them if your sheriff's office is prone to refusals.

    I feel like PA being a "shall issue" state is all you need. They're not in a position to judge or ask for a reason.

    I feel like the whole LTCF process is a shit storm of epic proportions, If pass NICS then I should have the right to carry when , How and wherever I damn well please.
    Its just a tax generating mechanism. How many people with LTCF? X $15?

    Leave it blank. I have, and have counseled many others to do the same. There has never been an issue, though I believe they all were submitted before the current sheriff took office.

    The requirement is long-standing, but (obviously) has no basis in law.

    "911 doesn't respond instantly". It's snarky but also true/serious.

    Or, "it's easier to carry my Glock, than to carry a police officer"

    Those are some pretty good points.
