    I didn't notice that it was a necrothread. It took a month to get cleared thirty years ago but it took me a week when I got my Pa permit again after escaping from Maryland.

    Maybe it has to do with the individual and their history.

    Come to think of it, I didn't even have to do any paperwork for renewals back in the old days. I just went in and five minutes later walked out with my new license.

    You mean if you lie on the federal Form 4473 when you answer the question about prior convictions? Yes, if you lie that's a federal felony. However, if you read the instruction page, the explanation for that question clearly states that if a conviction has been expunged, you should answer "No" to the question.

    The 4473 is available on line, so you can verify this from the comfort of your home.

    In Mercer Country ours is at the Sheriff's Office. I received mine that day. Took about half hour tops. My mom got hers about a year and a half ago and it took her four weeks I believe. That was when all the political mumbo jumbo was happening though. I've never really known of anyone getting denied just for the heck of it. Not saying it doesn't happen or anything. Good luck to you.
