Bucks county not renewing LTCF

[hawk87]

Surprised to hear that since I got mine renewed there yesterday and was in and out in 1/2h. What time did you go? I went at 11. Here is what I posted yesterday in the "PA Sheriffs use COVID as a reason to suspend LTCF processing thread".



When I got there there were 5-6 cops hanging out st the metal detectors and as soon as I walked in one immediately asked if I was there for a permit. He then asked if I had my application, drivers license and $20. I took this as a courtesy so I wouldn't be waiting if I didn't have everything. I think they only let 2 people in the sheriffs office so I waited in the lobby 5-10 min then they called me and a cop escorted me to the sheriffs office. I went to the counter and gave them everything, sat down about 5 min, got my picture taken, and in another 5 min had my card in hand There was one guy waiting when I got there and one came in as I was leaving so it seems like they are pretty steady. They will not answer the phone if you call though.

This was also my experience when I went to renew at the end of March. Was actually the shortest time I've waited in the actual office for the whole process, maybe ten minutes.

I don't understand the problem. PA constitution says right to bear arms shall not be questioned, and the United States constitution says
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".

Does anyone have any recent experience obtaining a LTCF in Bucks? Are they open for business? The sheriff's web page only says that the counter at Quakertown is closed. Anyone one have current information on Doylestown and Levittown?

I got mine renewed 2 months ago. Last I heard the Levittown office was closed. I would recommend you going to Doylestown anyway since you will get it instantly. Their website had the hours they will take applications and the building address. I suggest you get there early. I was in and out in 1/2 an hour getting there right before lunchtime.

And don't bother to call. They won't answer.

The sheriff announced today that the Levittown office will have extended hours to 8pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. Both offices are open, only LTown has the extended hours.

I went Monday. Very smooth. No bs when I said I can*t wear a mask. No bs checking my gun. One civilian minion had a problem with my knife. *Make sure he checks the knife he*s hiding in the pocket!* I took it as he had an issue with my Trump hat. Several other employees complimented me on the hat and I noticed his displeasure at this.
Downstairs on level B2 things went even more smoothly. ID and credit card. *Thank you for serving, Mr. Manxdriver*.
Time for photo. *Nice hat, but you have to remove it and the glasses for the picture*. * you wouldn*t ask me to remove it if I was Muslim.* He laughed!

Absolute professionalism. A total 180 from my original experience. Perhaps the political environment has awakened some in the LEO community that we are not the enemy. If so, it*s almost worth it.

The sheriff just announced they will be extending the hours of the Levittown office and on certain nights they will be open till 8:00! Two big thumbs up!
