LTCF

[flipwhipple]

If I'm eligible to buy a firearm, am I eligible to get a LTCF?

Usually, although the LTCF has a couple more restrictions.

I'm referencing an application from the Sheriff of Berks County (Jozwiak at the time) from 2007: You must be 21 years old, and a Berks County resident. complete the application (on the back it has all the legal restrictions) including the reason for carrying (self-defense, employment, etc) and two references from nonfamily members (separate forms) who are Berks County residents and submit $25 (it be more now). Call the office (610) 478-6240 to get up to date info. I know they are making renewals easier so you do not have to go the Courthouse in Reading. And have a driver's license. I got my LTCF when Kramer was sheriff and listed personal protection at the time. I don't have to renew until 2012. Good luck.

Just had mine renewed and went with Mom to get hers. It's still $25. Go into the courthouse in Reading and fill out the application. Then hand it to the person behind the counter with your VALID drivers license and $25. Then wait approximately 15 or so minutes depending on traffic in the office at the time and so long as all goes well you'll get one. I believe all the questions on the form are the exact same as when you purchase a gun. I just recently bought another handgun and rifle around the time I renewed so I'm like 95% sure they're the same.

hello all this is my first post! lol flipwhipple, as far as I know as long as u have no felonies, u should be fine. When I went for mine back in 2002, it took 3 weeks for me to get it. I also needed 5 references that were non family members that they had to fill out and sign, now I believe it is just 2 non-family references that u can fill out. hope this helps.

Its not just felonies. Its any felony, certain misdemeanors, and ANY drug charges.

You no longer need any refrences. Also you don't have to go to the courthouse. You can do it in Birdsboro, check the link.
