    UT or FL are your best bets for a Non-Resident permit.

    You can get one from PA since IL does not issue licenses. The requirement to have a license from your home state is if your home state issues them. Three states are exempt of the requirement: IL, WI, and VT.

    The PA license would be honored in most of the states that we have agreements with, except those that require the holder to be a resident of the issuing state of which are: FL, WV, MI, CO, and NH.

    Apply to the Centre County Sheriff, Dennis Nau. You will have your license within 2-3 weeks. http://www.co.centre.pa.us/sheriff/l...pplication.asp

    Hello Knight0334 / all ...

    Head's up:

    In less than one month, the number of "Resident Only" states drops from 7 to 6.

    WV HB 3314 goes into effect July 10, WV will then recognize "non-resident" permits from those states where they already recognize the "resident" permit; so for example as of July 10 a PA Resident who only had a Utah Non-Resident CFP could then carry in WV.

    Lone exception is that a West Virginia Resident can only carry in WV on a WV issued permit.

    (for reference: the remaining "Resident Only" states are KS and SC, due to training requirements neither has reciprocity with PA at this time)

    I didn't see it posted, so here is the PA AG web page on reciprocity
    http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/crime.aspx?id=184
    If you don't know who your state legislators are go here:

    put your zip plus 4 in the box in the upper right hand corner.
