I was a PA resident for 20 yrs and last year moved out of state. I have a cc license from my current state of residence. My PA cc license is expiring so I went to the sheriffs office that issued it. The two deputies at the front security desk said its illegal for a PA sheriff to issue a cc license to a non-resident. I told them I did not think that was accurate so they let me go into the main office. The deputies working in the main office as well as the secretary had no clue about out of state situations and they also told me that they can't issue me a license because I do not have a Pennsylvania drivers license. finally the sheriff himself came out he explained to me that he refuses the issue licenses to anybody that was not a resident of his county. They were all very nice and I wished them well andjust left the office.

Can someone please clarify the out-of-state resident rules when it comes to licenses in Pennsylvania - thank you.
