Keep LTCF if I move to NJ?

**marktg** · October 25th, 2010, 09:52 PM

I have a LTCF that was issued to me in Bucks county, and am moving to New Jersey in a few months. Am I able to keep my LTCF as a non- resident?

per PSP:

A Pennsylvania license cannot be issued to a resident of another state who does not possess a current license or permit or similar document to carry a firearm issued by their home state if a license is provided for by the laws of that state, as published annually in the Federal Register by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms of the Department of the Treasury."

IANAL

About 7 or 8 years ago, NJ ran a public outreach looking for a new state moto. One of the top contenders by popularity was:

New Jersey
Are you sure you want to do this?

Would I be able to keep a Florida out of state?

You'll be able to keep your Pa. LTCF if you move, you just won't be able to renew it until New Jersey gets sued into issuing licenses (don't hold your breath).

Of course, your LTCF will mean bupkus in New Jersey.

I would think that your PA LTCF would still be valid for use in PA (and reciprocal/recognized states) after you move to NJ, as it is valid until expiration (or revocation) and it was originally issued while you were a PA resident.

Of course, as mentioned, you could not get it renewed, since you would be a resident of NJ when the renewal is due.

IANAL nor am I a LTCF issuing authority
