Now, there's a new way to renew and apply for LTC permits, as Berks county is only the second in Pennsylvania to allow its residents to do it on a mobile app.

"Go on the app, the license to carry section and complete an application for a Pennsylvania license to carry firearms right on their phone," Weaknecht said.

The app also allows applicants to fill out their information, pay for the service and license, and submit a picture of their driver's license.

Sounds like a good model for the rest of the Counties.

Except that it imposes fees that are not authorized by statute. PA Sheriff's are obliged to follow the legal framework for the LTCF process, which includes specifically enumerated fees. The Sheriff does not have the authority to deviate from that.

I hear what you're saying but who's going to challenge that? The service is not compulsory at this time so if one doesn't want to pay it they have another option. As for me, I don't like paying fees but would assess the value of it when the time comes. I'd probably pay a dollar or two to save myself the drive but not much more than that.

What's the fee?

I would pay $30 bucks not to have to go to the courthouse to renew my LTCF. Happily.

Too many parking tickets?

$4 is a bargain for the convenience .... what*s that, like 3 rounds of 9mm....?

Convenience fee 🤦*♂️ Anytime I see that, what I really see is “we’re going to charge you for doing our job properly because well, fuck you.” And I walk away.

Without the fees, this wouldn’t be a bad option. But as Walleye said, it’s really no big deal to go to the airport and do it in person. So much easier than court street and when I’m due again in 5 years I’ll be going back to RDG substation
