CCW Permit Application Process

**Montanya** · August 3rd, 2007, 08:08 PM

Anyone know if I can apply for a concealed carry permit at the Washington County sheriff office if I live in Allegheny county? I really don't look forward to driving to town to apply and then again to pick it up. I had one and stupidly let it expire so I know the rigamarole to have to pay cash to park and go in there and apply.

Thanks,

No.

§ 6109. Licenses.

(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.

Because I'm a nice guy. Here is your guide.

Best to hit a meter on Fort Pitt Blvd, and walk right up Grant Street. Usually no problem finding a meter, but there is a surface lot right after the metered row. It will cost you a little more. Don't let your meter run out. I was only there for 40 minutes when I applied. To pickup, I had my wife drive down 5th and I jumped out, went in, and was back out by the time my wife came back around. Both times were on Firday mid-morning.

If you like scenery, go at lunch time on a nice day

Watch the arrows for the many One-Way streets.

Wow, I was looking online to see if Allegheny Cty had online registration and found that they don't! I'm in Westmoreland and it is so convenient to get a permit...I filled out the application from the website, mailed it in with a SASE and I had my permit in less than 1 week.
