Philly GPU STILL Asking for References - PhillyMag Posts Class Action Policy Change
I am mentioned twice in this article.
Here's the PhillyMag piece:
http://www.phillymag.com/news/2015/0...-philadelphia/
...
No matter where you live in Pennsylvania, you'll need to apply for a license to carry a firearm. You apply in the county where you live. In Philadelphia, that's the Philadelphia Police Department's Gun Permits Unit on the second floor of 990 Spring Garden Street.
Although references are still requested on the application, that's only because the city's application is outdated. (Because of course it is.) As the result of a lawsuit, references are no longer required.

Until the PSP changes the form (or the legislature changes the law) Philly is supposed to be using a form asking for references, lawsuit settlement notwithstanding.I am not a lawyer. Nothing I say or write is legal advice.

Re: Philly GPU STILL Asking for References - PhillyMag Posts Class Action Policy Chan
As far as I know this is the most recent version from the PSP [SP 4-127 (10-2012)]: http://www.bedfordcountypa.org/uploa...y_Firearms.pdf
There's nothing to indicate the references fields are optional.
Regardless, my point stands. It's false to say "the city's application is outdated". It's not the city's form, and it's not outdated.Last edited by twency; September 22nd, 2015 at 04:02 PM.
