No they are not. You can get a handgun permit to hunt in Pennsylvania and it is not valid for anything else. It is not a license to carry firearms.

They even use an out of state agency called PERMITIUM!

Just because a someone who should know better misuses a legal term doesn't make it correct. Words have meaning. We can't fight to correct things if we don't even know the proper terms. Calling a ltcf a permit in a state that has both is fuddery.

The Pennsylvania Code
§ 33.118. Pennsylvania sportsman*s firearm permit.
(a) The Pennsylvania sportsman*s firearm permit form is a prenumbered three-part form furnished by the State Police under section 6106(c) of the act (relating to firearms not to be carried without a license). This permit, granting exemption to section 6106(a) of the act, is issued in conjunction with a hunting, furtaking or fishing license, or permit relating to hunting dogs, under section 6106(b)(9) and (10) and (c) of the act. A written request for these forms may be directed to the Pennsylvania State Police, Attention: Firearm Unit, 1800 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17110. Telephone requests will not be honored. The State Police shall furnish official permit forms to the county treasurer upon request. Requests shall be made 3 weeks prior to the time of actual need. Upon receipt, the county treasurer shall remit to the State Police the sum of $1 for each official permit form furnished in accordance with section 6106 (c) of the act.

(b) The Pennsylvania sportsman*s firearm permit shall be completed as indicated in the block instructions. It can either be typewritten or printed in blue or black ink with a ballpoint pen.

The provisions of this § 33.118 adopted February 23, 2001, effective February 24, 2001, 31 Pa.B. 1145.

Years ago , this was actually called a ''PROVISIONAL FIREARMS REGISTRATION'' , and you needed one for each handgun you intended to carry while hunting. Make/model/type/caliber/barrel length were all recorded. Even the regular carry permit/LTCF listed a primary pistol you wished to carry.

Exactly.....if you can't carry without it, its a permit. Issued by the organization specifically forbidden to do so by the Constitution.....the Government.

In Philadelphia, you get your License To Carry Firearm at the Gun Permit Unit.

That's why lawyers go to law school for 4 or more years , to become fluent in double-speak.

License vs permit ,
may issue vs shall issue ,
PA Firearms law vs PSP firearms regulation ,
what is the meaning of ''is'' ,
oral sex is not sex ,
