    Default Lebanon County LTC question....

    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?

    Doing paper permits to "get them out quicker" doesn't wash. I got a laminated permit in Greene county and the whole process took about 15 to 20 mins. Gotta be to save money.

    Did you ask them for a laminated card when you went in to pick up your LTCF? They even take your picture for you if you ask. Of course, it does cost a little extra.

    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.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Yep, that you got is all you're getting. I laminated my own with clean contact paper and just folded it up and put it in with my other permits/licenses. My husband did the same with his.

    I am not sure about keeping copies around and those being valid. My instinct tells me no, those would NOT be valid but I'll let someone with more knowledge on that answer for sure.

    Yes you can copy it. But do it in color unless the LTCF itself is B&W.
    Yes you can scan it and reduce it.
    Or you can run it through a color copier and reduce it at the same time.
    I don't recall the reduction amount, but I am thinking the copy should be around 75% of the size of the original to be credit card sized. Then you can laminate it.
    Presenting a copy is perfectly valid.
    Mentioning that it is a copy may not a good idea.
    The Shriff's office may provide you with a laminated reduced version for an extra fee.
    If you don't know who your state legislators are go here:

    PS: The sheriff in Lebanon is known to be unfriendly.
    SPS: Go apply for a NH non resident permit
    http://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/n...ing/plupr.html

    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
