My wife and I are un Montco. I finally convinced her to get a LTCF. It took 8 days. She took the local police check form to Lower Merion PD and they emailed the results to the sheriff in 4 days. Sheriff got on a Friday. I called on Monday to see if they had it in hand and finding that they did we drove to Norristown Courthouse and 20 minutes later she walked out with a LTCF.
