    From what has been stated by LEOs on here before...no. They have to run a separate check for the LTCF.

    In some states, apparently the answer is yes. But not in PA.

    Just to clarify:

    Hired Goon does not mean that Ohio will automatically be aware of your Pa. LTCF, just that some states connect their own firearms licenses to a motor vehicles database, or have all of that info in the same database together.

    As HG noted, there is no 'automatic notification' tied to your registration, etc., but a separate, specific query can be done if the officer wishes. However, I would guess that any other state would have no ability to independently access this information even if they wanted to.

    But, if you either voluntarily present your LTCF or encounter a situation where you are required to do so while out of state, there *should be* a phone number on the LTCF so that out of state LEOs to verify it's validity (some counties aren't using the current form which includes this info).

    That is correct, my York Co. LTCF has no # on it.

    Greg, thnx for the clarification. I can see how what I wrote might be taken the wrong way...which I didn't realize when I wrote it I'm slippin'!

    I owe you rep for several posts now, but the rep gremlin won't let me...even though I have been spreading it around...gotta spread some more I guess
