LTCF copies

[DonSmithnotTMD]

I haven't been able to find anything about copies of an LTCF. Can I just make them, or do I have to buy more?

you can make as many copies as you want, just make sure you keep the original in a safe place. oh and make sure your copies are readable

I don't know if copies would be acceptable to an LEO, if you need to present it.

I would certainly hope so! Wayne county gives you the original paper copy plust a photo copy w/ your photo laminated for wallet carry. There are other threads along these lines and I believe the general concensus is that copies are OK. Also, I do not believe there is any statutory requirement for the LTCF to be an "original" copy.

York County prints out three (3) copies.
The LTCF holder gets the laminated, wallet sized copy. York County Sheriff's office keeps one, and the third goes to the PA State Police.

So from another thread I learn that in Philli you need to notify them immediately if you lose your LTCF and is $50 to get a replacement. So question is what if I lose a copy? do I notify them and pay $50 for a new one?? If so what's the point of making a copy?

I've used a photocopy of my LTCF when checking my firearm at a courthouse. (The copy I made is good enough that I doubt the deputy even knew it was a copy. Since there is no problem using a copy, it didn't especially concern me if the deputy knew it was a copy or not.)

The exact format, look and feel of the LTCF varies from county to county. Unless the LEO has made a thorough study of various LTCFs, very few would know what one looks like exactly unless it is the same as one that was issued to him/her. It is aso doubtful that very many LEOs have gone to the trouble to obtain their own LTCF.

Mine in Butler Co. is plastic,same size/shape as my drivers license. I never thought of making a copy. Might be a good idea but would it be legal?
