Would I "qualify" to get a CCW?

[FubijamsWife]

Technically, I'm still a California state resident because I still have a California driver's license. However, my husband is an Active Duty Marine stationed here in Johnstown and the Marine Corps "ordered" me to move as well...When I say that, I mean that I'm on his Active Orders while he's stationed here; but due to Federal Law, I'm not required to change my driver's license to Pennsylvania because I have a Gov't ID Card....So because of that technicallity...Do you know if I'd be able to get my Concealed Carry license?

to get a non resident PA permit you need a ltcf in your home state, unlss your state denies your right.. but i believe cali does have ccw just next to impossible to get so if you dont have one in cali then no...

but, if you get say a fl, or utah non resident permit you could carry in PA because we have reciprocity with them

since your living in Pa. you have address and have been living in the state more than a few months your well within your rights to get a Pennsylvania ID card. You could then use it to apply for your CCW permit since it will show you a resident.

the best awnser would come from the sheriff that issues for your county. have you called there office yet you may just be able to use your military ID

I have asked my local PD (Richland) and they looked at me like I just asked them how to solve a quadratic equation.

I've lived here since 2005, I know I have every right to get a PA license, however, I really don't want to turn in my CA license.

You think if I showed them proof of "residency" since 2005, my drivers license (for background check) with my military ID card and my husband's orders I might be able to get one?

Stop over and find out. I am sure they will provide you with any information needed. When I got my LTCF at the Lebanon county sheriff's office they were very friendly and efficient. Was in and out in 10 minutes.

the local PD has nothing to do with them

call your sheriff

From the Cambria County Web Site:

NON-RESIDENTS - A thorough and complete background investigation for a non-resident can only be completed if the non-resident currently possess a License To Carry Firearms in his/her state of residency, and meet one of the following requirements:
A former resident of Cambria County (actual dates required).
A recipient of a current non-resident hunting licensed issued by Cambria County(photocopy of current hunting license is required).
A regular visitor of Cambria County (name, address, and visitation dates required).
If you met one of the above listed requirements,an application for a Pennsylvania License To Carry Firearms will be sent to you. Your application will then be processed , and the proper investigation will be conducted.

If you do not meet any of the above listed requirements, it would not be feasible for the Sheriff's office to conduct a complete and thorough investigation as required by law; therefore we can not furnish you with an Application for a Pennsylvania License To Carry Firearms from Cambria County.

I'd change the wording of your statement on your residence status. I'd say that you are PA resident but you are not required to get a PA drivers license due to federal law. Are you receiving mail here? Are you paying bills/utilities here? Are you paying rent here? If you answered yes to those questions, I'd say you are a resident.

But perhaps someone else has better clarification regarding what it takes to obtain "resident status" here in PA?

If a friend of mine who is a legal alien from Germany can get a PA LTCF, you damn well should be able to.

A Commission decision, that an employe had not violated the provisions of subsection (a), while not binding on unemployment compensation authorities, supports a court holding, contrary to that of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, that the record does not support a conclusion that the employe was guilty of willful misconduct.

Can you get a PA ID card? Not a driver's license, but just an ID card? If you can get this, I would say apply for the PA resident LTCF.

you can only have residency in one state though
