Was there a 3 day waiting period in PA at some time in the past?

To add to it in the 80s you had to have at least one LEO as a reference to get a LTCF . The cops I asked to sign at the time said no, and I remember one in particular who went into a rant about only cops and military should own guns, period . I dont remember when this requirement changed , I half think someone challenged it in court . Anyone remember ??

That was never a state requirement. The local sheriff could have required it. Before PA became shall issue the county sheriff had free reign over the application process. Some wouldn't get to the application part because they were told NO when they asked the Sheriff if the could apply for a LTCF, or were referred to the treasurer's office for a sportsman's permit.
