    Default LTCF from Lehigh County

    Has anyone from Lehigh county received thier LTCF in less than 45 days? Is there a way to track my application to see if it has been processed? I have heard of other counties getting the LTCFs to the people faster than 45 days. I am just getting a little anxious about it and would like to know.

    I am on my 4th LCTF and all I can say is that Lehigh County takes their time in processing these. I think mine took at least 30-40 days every time I renewed mine.

    Damn... thanks for the input... I was hoping to hear something different, I don't like being unarmed. Maybe I will get lucky...

    I got my LTCF in the mail about 30 calender days after I submitted the application.

    And remember, no LTCF is needed to openly carry in Pennsylvania, so long as you're not in a vehicle or in Philadelphia. So you're not really disarmed...

    I can not carry in a vehicle legally without a LTCF unless I am going to/from the range, gunsmith etc... I can not carry to the truck, unload drive to the store, load and carry... So if I want to OC I have to walk everywhere.

    I'm on my 3rd license. If I remember correctly, I got the original in ~30 days...that was when you had to have a doctor fill out a separate form attesting to your good mental health. They sent out their renewal applications plenty early, too. I believe I got my renewals about 2 weeks after going to the sheriff's office to get the required photo taken.

    And I never mentioned that my uncle was a deputy sheriff to get preferential treatment.

    If yours is a new application and you are new to this county, perhaps getting a 'good guy' report from some of your neighbors could be causing the delay. Who knows? Maybe the deputies are overwhelmed with other duties?

    I'm sure this has been discussed on here in the past, but this makes little sense. So you can walk into almost any building and OC but you can't have a firearm in your glovebox in your vehicle to take you there - which if you live in a rural area, walking everywhere just to feel better is probably more dangerous (i.e. - getting hit by a car) than just driving and staying unarmed, in the long run. Ugh.

    Did you previously have a LTCF which recently expired?

    18 Pa.C.S. § 6106: Firearms not to be carried without a license

    (b) Exceptions.--The provisions of subsection (a) shall not apply to:
    [...]
    (12) A person who has a lawfully issued license to carry a firearm pursuant to section 6109 (relating to licenses) and that said license expired within six months prior to the date of arrest and that the individual is otherwise eligible for renewal of the license.
