    No one really knows for sure because there's only one way to find out for sure... apply.

    Have a look through this:
    http://forum.pafoa.org/general-2/383...-firearms.html

    Any conviction under The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act, regardless of sentence (per 18 PACS §6109(e)(1)(ii).

    So I'd say... yes, the drug charge will keep you from getting a LTCF.

    You might want to talk with a lawyer and see if it's possible to get it expunged.

    We do know for sure though, per 18 Pa.C.S. §6109(e)(1)(ii)
    A license shall not be issued to any of the following:

    ...

    An individual who has been convicted of an
    offense under the act of April 14, 1972 (P.L.233, No.64),
    known as The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and
    Cosmetic Act.

    Yes, it does...

    Like I said, give a lawyer a call and see what your chances are for an expungement.

    You said there was a charge...was there a conviction?
