    Default Lycoming county applicant from Chester county

    I go to Penn college in Wilpo and i want to apply for my LTCF. My permanent residence is back is Chester county. I haven't called either sheriff's departments yet, but I hear it takes about two days in lyco and two weeks in Chester county. I'm headed home for the weekend for labor day so i could always apply Friday in Chester co. but I'd rather do it up here and for-go the wait.Anybody know if this is possible or has done this?

    Here's the way the statute reads about applying in the county in which you reside:

    b) Place of application.--An individual who is 21 years of age or older may apply to a sheriff for a license to carry a firearm concealed on or about his person or in a vehicle within this Commonwealth. If the applicant is a resident of this Commonwealth, he shall make application with the sheriff of the county in which he resides or, if a resident of a city of the first class, with the chief of police of that city.

    It doesn't say primary or permanent residence, but I would assume that a temporary residence at a college would not be acceptable, IMO.

    I would think you'd need to apply based on your driver's license address...

    Correct. If the OP still has his primary address at home (parents' residence) then the application would be with home county sheriff's office.

    Cathy and I both have Greene County LTCFs, but we were living in Indiana Co. as students when we applied.

    I called the Lycoming sheriff's office today and they said that I should apply through Chester county. I'm just concerned about the wait, the sooner the better, so I don't have to keep locking my ammo in my truck box while the gun is in cab. More of a convenience than anything else I guess. Thanks for the clarification none the less.
