PA resident with alternate residence in OH question

[Tony Fly]

If a PA resident (This is their primary residence, Drivers License and other ID have this address on them) has an alternate residence in Ohio (vacation/retirement home)... can they get a Permit to Carry in Ohio also?

I am asking for a friend of mine... they seem to think they can't and I just do not know the answer.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Try here first. You will likely get a more informed answer from Ohio residents.

A Utah permit is a Better choice.

A Utah permit is a Better choice.

Even as a resident of Ohio?

I would think it would be much better to have the license for the actual state rather than having another states license and having to deal with ignorant LEOs that don't understand reciprocity... all though, I am asking because I don't know.

I myself will need to go with the Utah permit due to the fact that I only have a residence in PA.
