[rec.guns] Carrying of Firearms

jeuch@among.gis.psu.edu (Dan Jeuch) (06/22/91)

I know this is a local question relating to the state of residence, but maybe
someone else knows.  What is the procedure to obtain a permit to carry a
firearm in the state of Pennsylvania?  Thanks.

Go to they County Sherrif with a check for $12.50 and your drivers license.
It should take about a month. The permit is good for any gun you can conceal
and is valid everywhere in the state (even Philadelphia). 

If you live in Philadelphia you probably won't get one.

Good luck
