New P.A. resident

[B.A.]

Hey every one, Just moved to chester county from N.Y.(the communist state). and i had a few questions. some of wich may have been addressed already by other people but i couldn't find them with the search function.

first, i'm going to obtain my P.A. drivers license on tuesday. will that automatically make me a P.A. resident or is there a length of time i have to wait to be considered a full fledged P.A. resident?

second, Last year i was arrested for D.U.I. in N.Y., i plead not guilty and was convicted of a lesser charge known as D.W.A.I wich according to N.Y. state law is violation not a misdemeanor. should i be concerned when applying for a L.T.C.F. in chester county?

my record was spotless before and has been spotless since.

You're a PA resident when you establish residency. One form of proof is a PA drivers license.

Your NY DUI shouldn't be a problem.

btw i'm glad to become a resident of a state that still believes in the bill of rights.

Unlike N.Y, or N.J, or N.D. or S.D or . . . there isn't a period after the first letter of our commonwealth's postal abbreviation. It's Pa.. I prefer to refer to it as Pennsylvania.

Actually....I don't think any of the states use periods for postal abbreviations...

Don't worry about it. Keep your nose clean while here please...

Oh, and welcome to Pennsylvania, home of the Kentucky Rifle.

Not any more but when I was young they did. Back in those days, Penna was commonly used for our state. Ariz. was Arizona, Calif. for California
