Lebanon County LTC question....

[Lazydog]

SILLY! Haven't you seen My Cousin Vinny? Of COURSE people go there!!!

Yeah, and they get arrested for crimes they didn't commit.
You should talk to Vinny to ensure he is available before you go, should the need arise.

Don't think I ever had the desire to go to Bama. And yes I saw My Cousin Vinny..waste of my time and money...

I actually had to wait about 2 weeks till they sent it in the mail. They did take my picture and its on the permit. What they sent me is my actual permit, but on a postcard size piece of paper. I am going to get it laminated but I am almost half tempted to get a scanner and scan it in and reduce the size to wallet size and get that laminated. I just wasnt sure if what they sent me was permanent. I suppose it is, I guess I was just expecting something smaller.

Before you laminate it, get a reduced size copy. I think 60% gives you approximately credit card/driver's license size, 75% is a big improvement over the original.
Lebanon doesn't offer a plastic license yet. I'm hoping that changes soon, I'm due for renewal this year.
Copy and reduce before laminating. A copy is sufficient, they have record of your license, you have something to show on the spot.
As a matter of fact, I wish I wouldn't have laminated my original at all, I did it full size with no copies.
When I get my renewal I will laminate a reduced copy to carry with me and keep the original, unlaminated, in a safe place.

PS: The sheriff in Lebanon is known to be unfriendly.
SPS: Go apply for a NH non resident permit

that way you will have
1)A backup in case some prick takes your PA LTCF away
2)Ability to carry in Alabama
3)a valid permit to leave in your car or whereever you like in case you forget your PA LTCF
4)The beginning of a cool new card collection that doesn't smell like bubblegum

FWIW, Sheriff Mike DeLeo has a reputation as being very friendly to gun owners, with the exception of the incident with SFN, and from what I've heard from a few very reliable sources he was pressured into that. Yes, he should have known better and I'm sure that if he had it to do over he would have handled it differently, but he is not unfriendly to gun owners.

Thanks guys for all of the help. I am going to scan and reduce in the computer and then laminate that. I'm going to have to check out the alabama permit....

N.H. permit, not Alabama, gives you the ability to carry in Alabama, as well as being a nifty, cheap back up to your oversized, non-21st century LTCF

Yes, my bad. Just noticed that. NH not alabama. Anyway, anything would be better than being back in the 80s with my post card size permit.
I actually just printed out the NH permit. It looks pretty simple and a heck of a lot easier than Florida for example where you have to send fingerprints or something. Anyway, thanks again.

Do people really go to Alabama??

Why not? Some even come to Pennsylvania

FYI, if you ever consider a FL I am going to reccommend you look into a Utah first. They are less expensive and WAAAAY cheaper to renew. For FL you pay the entire amount to renew it and Utah is only 10.00 or something to renew it every 5 years. There are some other advantages but that is what sticks out in my mind at the moment. Just saying...if you ever consider that please look into it carefully before spending the money on a FL license. (I have a Pa, NH, and a Utah.)

Hey everyone. First of all, great site. I've been lurking for a while and decided I finally just needed to join. Great insight in this forum and I am glad to see so many of us that support firearms rights.
Anyway, I finally received my LTC permit from the sheriffs office in Leb. County. The paper permit that they sent me is very large, probably about the size of a postcard if not larger. I was curious if anyone else in leb county has recieved this type of permit and if this just temporary or not. I was expecting a small credit card sized permit that was laminated just as my fathers is from Leb County from a few years back when he applied. I did make some b and w copies. Am I going to be ok in carrying a copy of it in my car and in my wallet?
I guess maybe they just decided to get cheaper or have so many to issue because of the increase of people getting the permit they just are trying to get them out quick, but I could be wrong. Anyway, anyone have any insight?

Take it to Staple's out by K-Mart they now the drill, that's who the Sheriff's office reccomended the day I renewed mine after it getting drowned and bleeding to death.

I keep my original one in my safe with the gun stuff

It amazes me how the Commonwealth can't get all the counties on the same page with the LTCF.
Mine from York is a credit card sized laminated card, there was one form to fill out, it was $25 & they took my photo at no extra charge. I had it in my wallet 10 minutes after I turned in the form.
I've found that Lancaster has a second form, I've read posts on this forum where people describe paying more than the $25 and some describe having to provide their own photo. I have also seen posts where people describe getting a plastic card not a laminated one. Now I read about this post card sized thing...Why the hell can't PA get their conties on the same page?
In my business, we take the best ideas from each location and combine them to get things done the best, most cost effective, and most efficient way. Now I know we are talking about government agencies here but WOW! They have the system in place to make drivers licenses... HELLO! I'm thinking it should not be that hard to use that equipment (or some modified older DL machines) to print out a uniform LTCF! If they don't/can't install a similar machine in each Sheriff's office then...Sheriff office does the background check, gives you a voucher and you go to the DL center & get your final card. Is this something I should bring up on 2A day in Hbg?

On another note:
I just went to the NH site from the link provided in an earlier post... There it says:
"Concealed handgun licenses issued by the State of New Hampshire to out-of-state residents are ONLY valid within the State of New Hampshire."

To me that says it would not be valid for any of us in Alabama or as a back up in PA for that matter.
Am I missing something or somehow reading this wrong?
