Re: Does PA meet IL "Substantially Similar" definition?
Yes, for IL. For PA, an involuntary commitment takes a lengthy legal process to overcome.
Marin - the IL law uses or. Unless a court decides otherwise, this usually means pick one - i.e. concealed ENDOFOPTION otherwise ENDOFOPTION, not both. However, IANAL and IL law might be different.Last edited by rmagill; January 6th, 2014 at 08:25 AM.

Pretty sure PA doesn't participate "in reporting persons authorized to carry firearms, concealed or otherwise, in public through NLETs."
When only seconds count, the police are minutes away.

Re: Does PA meet IL "Substantially Similar" definition?
Thanks to a PA court decision a couple of weeks ago, "lengthy" apparently became "never." http://forum.pafoa.org/pennsylvania-...l-setback.html

Re: Does PA meet IL "Substantially Similar" definition?
Only Hawaii is currently listed as an approved state... not sure HI has ever even issued a concealed carry license to an average citizen.
I think the list of "substantially similar" states will grow but am pretty confident that Pennsylvania will never appear on that list. Rats.

Re: Does PA meet IL "Substantially Similar" definition?
I'm curious how this works.
According to the statute, to qualify as an instructor one must qualify for a IL license. In order for a non-resident to qualify for an IL license...the "substantially similar" issue comes into play. Since PA is not "sub. similiar" how does a PA resident become an IL instructor?
(c) A person seeking to become a certified firearms
21 instructor shall:
22 (1) be at least 21 years of age;
23 (2) be a legal resident of the United States; and
24 (3) meet the requirements of Section 25 of this Act,
25 and any additional uniformly applied requirements established by the Department.
