Erie County Gun Permits - Sheriff Bob Merski

[imp81318]

I definitely agree that it is absurd how counties have such different procedures Michele. Here in Perry County, a very rural county, I had to drop off my application with 3 references that live in the county, and come back like 3 weeks later, after the called me, to pick it up. And they actually contacted all of my references, one of which was a personal friend of the sheriff.

I'm cool. It just boggles my mind how the LTCF requirements differ from county to county. Its almost like some sheriffs make up their own rules to fit their personal agendas.

The problem is that the regulations concerning LTCF are written ambiguously by law makers and 67 different Pa Sheriffs have to interpret it individually.

Laws are not written black and white.

Unfortunately Dave, you're correct.

I'm still mystified by the whole LTCF/Sheriff/County thing.

If sheriffs DON'T like the fact that O/C is legal here in PA, you would think they would make it "less stressful" for those applying for a C/C license.

I think the problem lies with some sheriffs don't like that fact that law abiding citizens can carry a gun and be licensed to do so. So they express their distress and their disagreement by making the whole process difficult for the citizens. Allot of times when someone is so stressed over something they just give up and say its just not worth all my time and energy. I bet most sheriffs rely on that.

Some folks have to give up their first born, others don't even have to put a quarter in the parking meter.

I dunno......

I see this Sheriff has a Police Services Division which provides Patrol Services. Seems his Police operation is based out of NY instead of Pa.

I have question for you being that Erie shares the lake with Buffalo,new York does this allow pa LTCF holders to carry ln buffalo??

Sure, and since the Ohio river flows through Pa and into the Mississippi you can carry in any State those rivers flow through. Then the Mississippi dumps into the Gulf of Mexico so you can also carry in Mexico. The Panama canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific so you can also carry in any of the coastal States.

No, you can't carry in Buffalo.

No, that is not how it works.

You need a special Ohio River Authority License Permit (ORALP), and it is ONLY good while carrying on the Ohio River.

Time for a silver bullet.
