PA Firearms Dealer's License in MontCo?
I know that in Berks, you need to get your PA Dealer's License from the Sheriff. I also know that in certain other locations in PA, you get this license from the Chief of Police. Does anyone know where you get this license in Montgomery County? (Specifically Pottstown)
Thanks in advance.

Re: PA Firearms Dealer's License in MontCo?
May be helpful to you.
From the Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act:
6113. Licensing of dealers.
(a) General rule.--The chief or head of any police force or
police department of a city, and, elsewhere, the sheriff of the
county, shall grant to reputable applicants licenses, in form
prescribed by the Pennsylvania State Police, effective for three
years from date of issue, permitting the licensee to sell
firearms direct to the consumer, subject to the following
conditions in addition to those specified in section 6111
(relating to sale or transfer of firearms), for breach of any of
which the license shall be forfeited and the licensee subject to
punishment as provided in this subchapter:
(1) The business shall be carried on only upon the
premises designated in the license or at a lawful gun show or
meet.
(2) The license, or a copy thereof, certified by the
issuing authority, shall be displayed on the premises where
it can easily be read.
(3) No firearm shall be sold in violation of any
provision of this subchapter.
(4) No firearm shall be sold under any circumstances
unless the purchaser is personally known to the seller or
shall present clear evidence of the purchaser's identity.
(5) A true record in triplicate shall be made of every
firearm sold, in a book kept for the purpose, the form of
which may be prescribed by the Pennsylvania State Police, and
shall be personally signed by the purchaser and by the person
effecting the sale, each in the presence of the other, and
shall contain the information required by section 6111. The
record shall be maintained by the licensee for a period of 20
years.
(6) No firearm as defined in section 6102 (relating to
definitions) shall be displayed in any part of any premises
where it can readily be seen from the outside. In the event
that the Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police shall
find a clear and present danger to public safety within this
Commonwealth or any area thereof, firearms shall be stored
and safeguarded pursuant to regulations to be established by
the Pennsylvania State Police by the licensee during the
hours when the licensee is closed for business.
(7) The dealer shall possess all applicable current
revenue licenses.
(b) Fee.--The fee for issuing said license shall be $30,
which fee shall be paid into the county treasury.
(c) Revocation.--Any license granted under subsection (a) of
this section may be revoked for cause by the person issuing the
same, upon written notice to the holder thereof.
(d) Definitions.--For the purposes of this section and
section 6112 (relating to retail dealer required to be licensed)
only unless otherwise specifically provided, the term "firearm"
shall include any weapon that is designed to or may readily be
converted to expel any projectile by the action of an explosive
or the frame or receiver of any such weapon.

Thanks. I had read that, but it doesn't specify who issues for my area.

Your state license to deal in firearms comes from the county sheriff, except for Philadelphia (and maybe some of the larger cities). I'm in State College and mine came from the Sheriffs Office of Centre County.

So the LEO section of the FFL application would be submitted to the local sheriff as well or would that be best submitted to the local chief?

Take it to the sheriff, in these matters he/she is the one to give the ok and sign off on the paperwork.
