No sheriff, county can't issue LTCF. Options?

[Sparks]

Ok, let me ask the silly question...
Since the LTCF is good throughout PA, why not just go to another county that IS issuing?
I ask this because in Montgomery County, the LTCF is for 5 years. In Chester County, it's Lifetime. My co-workers said they just got theirs from Chester County (they live outside of Chester County).

Somethings hinky here. LTCF are not lifetime, 5 years, state rule.
You must, apply in county you live in, again state law.

OK, so we figured out that my wife would have standing to proceed if someone wanted to take this on. The question becomes, what is gained by fighting this fight?

Getting the LTCF.



Did the entire county grind to a halt because somebody quit? That's bullshit.

This is covered in the linked article in the first post, as well. Designating an acting sheriff is on the governor's list of things to do, but hasn't happened yet. Apparently, Wolf is in no hurry to do so... perhaps because Blair County overwhelmingly voted against him in the election. The article says it "might" happen in early June. Add in the backlog, and I'll probably be without a LTCF for six weeks or longer. That's if he appoints someone in early June, and it could be longer.

no one here is interested in running?
someone mentioned being an attorney, is that a requirement?

Two people ran for sheriff in yesterday's primary. But that's a primary. The general election is in November and a new elected sheriff won't take office until January 2018. The governor has to appoint an acting sheriff to take us through the end of the year. No, you don't have to be an attorney. Both guys who ran were former LEOs, not lawyers.

thats what i thought. being leo or former leo isn't a requirement either, was my understanding.
surprised more people aren't willing to take a job that ?pays? to ensure our 2A will be protected and avoid having another anti take the throne like here in monroe.

i do understand they will need someone on interim but still, if memory serves, our sheriff here generally runs without competition, with exception to last election.

Hello, what does it cost to "renew" my second amendment right? And how much do the rest of the amendments cost?

[akapjr]

A few years ago Northampton county did not have a sheriff for quite a while. They still issued . So the deputies took over until they got a new one. It took 52 days for my ltcf to be renewed back then and I called because of it taking so long my ltcf expired. They told me I was ok to carry because if I was ever stopped and checked ,they would see it being processed.
