My LTCF expired on Dec 2, 2008. Yesterday Dec 9th 2008, I went down to the courthouse to complete the first step of renewing it.
Now here's the question: If I was carrying concealed on Dec 9, 2008, was it legal. Yes or No?
BTW I already know the answer to this question and the applicable statute, I'm just curious how many others know.
I know, but I'm not saying. ;)
I know you do as well as a few others. This is for new people to learn. Thanks for not spilling the beans. :)Quote:

A person who has a lawfully issued license to carry a firearm pursuant to section 6109 (relating to licenses) and that said license expired within six months prior to the date of arrest and that the individual is otherwise eligible for renewal of the license.
Well I guess that ends that bit of curiosity.
Yes the above two posters are correct and they even cited the statute.
I just wanted everyone to know that your LTCF is good for six months after the expiration date.
Unless you've been a naughty boy or girl during those 6 months.Quote:

I'd like to know if this is still valid too, since the county is taking its time responding to my renewal application.
It is not "legal" to carry CC without a license. To carry concealed you need a license (and be able to produce it).
You have a DEFENSE following your ARREST to prove license in COURT.
Legal? In the end... maybe, but know the risks
It is an exception that you will need to prove in court, so yes, illegal until proven licensed at a later time.
