    Default Does Luzerne County issue Non-Resident licenses?

    I am a Texas resident with a Texas CHL. Grew up in PA and visit a few times a year. I almost always bring firearms with me and carry due to Texas-PA reciprocity.

    Can anyone tell me if Luzerne County issues non-resident permits? Last trip to town I filled out the form, but never made it to the Courthouse. I'll be traveling there again in a few months though.

    I'll answer my own question…. I went to the Luzerne County Courthouse yesterday. Provided copies of my Texas Concealed Handgun License, drivers license, and $23. Walked out with a PA LTC. Aside from waiting for about 30 mins, it was pretty painless and easy.

    Cost of PA LTCF is $20, regardless if res or non res.

    A the Luzerne County Courthouse they have a small credit union office 30 feet from the office you get your LTC in. I didn't bring a money order (who uses money orders….), so I had to go to the credit union and pay $23 for the $20 money order...

    One last comment… the License says:

    Pennsylvania License to Carry Firearms -- not non-resident license or anything. My TX address is on there, but it looks like the same license my Dad has.

    Yes, no difference except the non-PA address. Cool!
