Do these agreements rub anyone else in the wrong way? I’m speaking of the ones that bordering counties have Chemung/Tioga, Broome/Susquehanna, etc.
On the New York side, the NY county always requires land ownership, primary employment, etc for PA residents applying. NEWSFLASH: since the Osterweil case, these counties should have been taking applications under those circumstances without any idiotic “agreement” with a specific PA county or sheriff. Doing any less is not complying with state case law.
On the PA side, the sheriff proudly proclaims that they will issue non-resident permits to New Yorkers. There’s an open legal question whether sheriffs who don’t issue non-resident permits are complying with PA state law. Nowhere in PA state law are they granted the discretion to reject applications for non-resident permits.
It seems to me more like two blowhard agencies who are already not complying with their respective state laws are just creating more hoops for their citizens to jump through.
