why get a pa carry permit?
just curious as to why i should get one? i moved to pa from florida and have my florida carry permit. which is good in pa and alot of other states since i had to take a class?(either that or a good ag?) it doesn't expire until 2010. so is there any reason why i should apply to get my PA permit since i'm already covered?

Re: why get a pa carry permit?
It would all be a moot point if the national carry law comes to pass...otherwise, no need to think about it until 2010 - until you get stopped by a PA cop who wants to know why you have a Fla. license and you live here in Pa. It could cause a hassle. Then again, you may never need to even prove you have the permit. How stable are reciprocity regulations in a Dem controlled society???

Pa. ID and Florida pistol permit? You might have a problem just like if your car is licenced in Pa. and you have a Fl. drivers licence.

I'd consider getting it for the simple fact, it's cheap, easy, and you never know when they'll stop handing them out.

I have the feeling that once you were into 90 days residency and beyond, plus having/needing PA ID with your DL - you could run into problems.
And yeah why bother not to!!! It is so easy for most - in my case and I'd expect yours, it's a visit to SO, fill in the form and stump up $26. You could be in and out in half an hour, depending on how quick your SO is.
Out west I reckon we get ours thru quicker than some counties out east.Chris - P95

Re: why get a pa carry permit?
When I had to renew my PA non resident license I showed my FL non resident permit. The deputy said I can carry on my FL but it might casue a problem. Another deputy said I can use my FL and dont need to renew my license.Just shows you no one knows the law. If you carry the PA / FL reciprocity agreement with you, you will probably be fine. Being that you are a PA resident I would say get it. it is cheep and easy.

Re: why get a pa carry permit?
I'm not 100% sure on this, but since you moved I don't believe your FL carry permit is still valid as your address has changed. Now that you're a resident of PA, you would likely need a FL non-resident permit, or contact the issuing agency to inform them that you've moved. Again, not completely sure, but at the very least wanted to point out the possibility, and that you may want to look into this.
Even if your existing FL permit is still valid, it's still a good idea to get a PA permit now that you're a resident of PA. If you were to be stopped for any reason, you're likely to have less trouble in PA with a resident permit than with a non-resident one. There are LEOs out there (not all, but some) who don't keep on top of all the reciprocity agreements, and having a PA permit will eliminate the possibility of trouble. In addition, it's not that expensive and not hard to get one."Political Correctness is just tyranny with manners"

Re: why get a pa carry permit?
I agree with ChamberedRound, If you're a PA resident now you should get the PA permit. There is nothing that I know of that says you have to surrender your FL permit. When you go the the Sheriffs Office you will fill out the paperwork, they will run the PICS, you pay your money and if clean PICS they issue the permit. As far as I know they will not ask you if you have one from another state unlike a drivers license. When you go in you don't even have to volunteer that you have just moved here. The most ID I ever had to show was my PA drivers license, and that was the first time I applied.
