Hi all. Just recently moved here to Monroe County and after reading the horrors of applying for an LTCF here in Monroe, I was dreading the experience. I also previously read somewhere you had to wait 90 days and show proof of residency in addition to your PA Driver's License (like utility bills, and etc). So I've been waiting for 2 months so far. Just checked back in on Sheriff's website and seems things have changed in that time, new concise info, new application (or at least better instructions and clarity), and nothing about a waiting period or residency proof (other than PADL).
Anyway, long story long... Applied by email yesterday, got an email back this AM:
"Congratulations, your LTC has been approved. You can schedule an appointment to pick up your LTC by phone at 570-517-3823 between the hours of 9-10:30am. BE ADVISED, we are currently scheduling appointments in a block scheduling manner two times between the hours of 10:30 - 11:30 am and 2:15 - 3:30 pm. We cannot accommodate same day appointment."
No appts available until Tues of next week (they do not see anyone on Mondays). And apparently, just show up with mask, $20 cash, and be ready for a picture.
Can it really be that easy?! :D
When applying in NC for my CCW permit, we had to take a class with written test and practical shooting test, submit the certificate of successful completion, be a resident of the county for 30 days (and show utility bills), get fingerprinted, pay the $90 fee, and then wait 60-90 days for your card to arrive in the mail.
