Montgomery County LTCF Police check card

[Gkgas]

My question is what if you live in an area that has no local PD. The area is patrolled by Pennsylvania State Police? Who would do the check the State Police or can you use any local police?

How about asking the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office to do its own job?

18 Pa. C.S. § 6109. Licenses.

(d) Sheriff to conduct investigation.--The sheriff to whom the application is made shall investigate the applicant's record of criminal convictions, shall investigate whether or not the applicant is under indictment for or has ever been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment exceeding one year, shall investigate whether the applicant's character and reputation are such that the applicant will not be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety and shall investigate whether the applicant would be precluded from receiving a license under subsection (e)(1) or section 6105(h) (relating to persons not to possess, use, manufacture, control, sell or transfer firearms) and shall conduct a criminal background, juvenile delinquency or mental health check following the procedures set forth in section 6111 (relating to firearm ownership).

You will note it states "the sheriff shall investigate" (three times, even), it doesn't say you have to do any running around for the sheriff.

Somehow I do not think he will listen if I tell him that.

I guess take it to the PSP barracks that covers your area.

That is what I was thinking also. Figure it will be more of a pain in the ass that way. I guess I might need to call the sheriff's office to find out.
