Where near Philly to get Fingerprints Done for FL CCW
My non-resident FL CCW is up for renewal and apparently they need fingerprints again on renewal. Five years ago I got them done by the Montco Sheriff who no longer does them. Forget Philly.
Anybody know any friendly departments/sheriffs near Philly to get an ink fingerprint card done?
I also understand FL now does electronic prints for in-state. Anyone know if they also do this out of state and if there is a place I can get them done and electronically transferred? If not, anyone who will do the ink method is fine. Since this is only once every 5 years I don't mind driving a bit as I know how anti-gun the Philly area can be and I have heard police departments have really curtailed civilian requests for prints.

State police stations should do them.. I really think the state police are your best bet when getting finger print cards done. They are also less likely to screw them up.

Re: Where near Philly to get Fingerprints Done for FL CCW
Thanks for the replies! Any more thoughts? I'll give Horsham I try if need be. IIRC, five years ago the Belmont Barracks of the state police in Philly would not do them. I get out to Springfield (Delco) a bit. I'll call the Lima Barracks. Anybody know if the Delco Sheriff would do them? I'll give them a call too, but thanks for the Horsham info if I need it. I'm closer to southern Montco and Delaware County due to my job if anybody knows anybody around there.
Thanks!

I had a hard time getting the prints for my Utah permit, the Lima barracks & Delco sheriff were unwilling for an out of state gun permit. I ended up going to the Chester County Sheriff in West Chester, no problems, open Mon thru Fri same hours as the court house, plus they did the photo I needed too.

Re: Where near Philly to get Fingerprints Done for FL CCW
Florida and Utah non resident licenses are popular because of the Reciprocity each state has. The PA LTCF is adding more states all the time, however I travel to Delaware a lot and PA and Del do not have an agreement, but FL & UT do have reciprocity with Delaware, so I got the UT permit so I can carry in Del. (the UT permit is much less costly) So between my UT permit and my PA LTCF I can carry in roughly 35 states.

Re: Where near Philly to get Fingerprints Done for FL CCW
I also consider it a privacy issue. While PA illegally (in my mind) keeps records of handgun purchases, I prefer to keep my firearm ownership and legal carry as private as possible in regards to the government. I apply for a PA CCW and I'm in a database in PA. With my FL CCW I am only in a FL database. FL CCW, as said, covers more than twice as many states as PA as well as Delaware, which a PA CCW does not cover.
