    Default Newbie here: LTCF in Beaver County / Old summary offenses

    New enthusiast here. Went to the range with a buddy for the first time, and I'm hooked!

    My friend suggested I go ahead and apply for my LTCF.

    But I have some old charges on record. (Underage drinking & criminal mischief 15 years ago). Should I be concerned about that causing me to fail a PICS check or prevent me from getting a LTCF? Both of those charges are summary offenses.

    Thanks in advance, I look forward to wasting a lot of time on this forum.

    On their face these charges are not prohibitive unless the sheriff is a dick and trys to use the character and reputation clause.

    Good luck

    the sheriff is very 'gun' friendly. Have you purchased a gun? If you passed the NICS check to do so, you should have no problem getting a permit - -about 15 minutes.

    Well that's good to hear.

    I went Friday but their computers were down. The gal let me leave the app and said she would do the background check and call me. Said if its good, I should be in and out.

    Didn't buy a gun yet, I'm one for putting the proverbial cart before the proverbial horse.

    Welcome from across the A&A bridge! The folks up at the courthouse are very pleasant to deal with.

    Well, I finally made it up there and got my LTCF! Woohoo!

    Where do you shoot? I'm considering going up to the Bucktails in Aliquippa to take a look at the place. The indoor range being 24x7 is really appealing.
