Concealed permit question

[Rugbyguy769]

Just curious can a person who is pending trial on a felony be granted a concealed weapons permit? Or is it only after a conviction that they are banned from having one? I appreciate any help and if anyone knows the laws that state it either way because I am doing a paper for my criminal justice class and I'm a little lost on this issue. Thanks for the help

no, such person cannot likely be granted an LTCF:

from the PA UFA (which is available in the law section of this website):
