    I have no idea what you're talking about. It sounds to me that French Creek is right. The Sheriff is the issuer.

    while they are right i see you live in Montgomery county so your sheriff requires some extra stuff inducing something from the police.

    this should get you started

    Police check cards are made up and fall outside of any requirement of the state police standardized application and UFA

    Any county that asks you to fill out a check card is breaking the law

    They don't have to, but we do. Refuse to fill it out, stand your ground and if needed, pursue legal means to get it corrected.

    Make sure the Sheriff is replaced next time around

    i live in Chester County and while i agree its wrong the kid just wanted some advice on how to get his LTCF not "how it should be"

    I dont want to derail this a thread anymore if you'd like to have the last word about how I should care about the injustice more have at it.

    disagree. The OP specifically asked "is this right?" meaning, what is the correct process. He deserved to know

    Because the gun shop was telling you the actual way in which Pa law dictates it should be done. Montgomery County, in defiance of the Commonwealth of Pa, makes it's own rules. That's why the Gun Shop told you something different than the Sherrif's office. The Gun Shop was right, the Sherrif's office was wrong.
