Applied this afternoon for my LTCF in Lehigh Co.

With all the difficulties with the sheriffs in other towns I hope the one in Lehigh doesn't give me a hard time. I dont really see that happening as I have only been here two months, and I have not had so much as a traffic ticket on my record here or in CA. I must say the process is a lot less complicated then back in CA. The lady at the desk said they have 45 days to approve it. I am looking forward to having it! I will definitely feel safer carrying.

Wish me luck!

Should be no sweat. Got mine fast from Lehigh Co. couple years ago.

I got mine in Lehigh County in about 30 days that was last year. Should have no problems with the process.

I applied for mine on Dec 26th, still havent received it, but it is still within the 3 - 4 weeks they projected for me (currently at 3 weeks and 3 days) so it could come anytime for me now

Hi, Newbie here. Have enjoyed reading the forums. This is my first post.

I want to clarify something. Are you all saying it took you WEEKS to receive your PA license to carry firearms permit after applying for it? I want to make sure because it only took 20 minutes to get mine in McKean County. The Sheriff called to make the background check while I waited. The only ID required was my driver's license. My references were all from out of state.

I am having a difficult time accounting for the differences in our experience with the process. I had no idea it was so arduous (relatively speaking) elsewhere in PA. What gives?

Yes. Weeks. Because some sheriffs like to make their constituents sweat. And are dicks.

I got mine in York county with no problem. 19 bucks and 12 days later I was carrying.

every county is different here in PA. some are instant, some take over the 45days legal limit on a consistant basis, hell some require an interview wth the sheriff. Yes, it's odd but its how it is.
