My wife and I went to Centre County to renew ours. Nice trip. Used to be able to do it by mail.
pa was way easier than NY... I think it took wife and I 10 min TOPS to get it............
My utah expired!!! damn. gotta rack up those states!! hehehehe
but with the pa I was able to make it to Kty for our vacation...nice!!!
Does every Sheriff's Office issue the permits? Or are there certain ones to go to who don't break balls about non residents? Been looking into this for a while and want it to be as smooth as possible. Thanks
Centre and Lakawanna county are 2 counties that for sure issue 100%.
Don't know. I have an unrestricted. Someone else here mentioned Centre county does.Even for a NY Sportsman License or u needed a full carry?
Just an update/status.
I picked up a PA non resident permit today at the Lackawanna county sheriff in Scranton. It was as easy as others have said. I have a Hunting and Target comment on the front of my CCP. They didn't ask a single question other than what was on the application.

I'm heading there next Monday. My Pike County License expired.I spoke with the Sheriff’s office in Lackawanna (Scranton) today. They indicated unrestricted is required.

Went today, enroute NC for Thanksgiving at my son's home.Same re: Pike County. Let us know how it goes. I’m planning to goes early Tuesday.
When I got my pa permit my daughter in law went to get her pa permit, she has a restricted ny permit, we went to scranton, luzerne county. They would not issue her a permit because her my permit was restricted.
I've been wanting a PA pistol license for a while.
So on the recommendation of my friend Ben at Onsight Firearm Training
I took a ride to the Centre County Sheriffs office in Belafonte Pa.
I drove 240 miles which took 3 hours and 45 minutes. I must of been nuts.
But after 10 minutes it was all worth it.
All they required was a one page application, a copy
of your NYS drivers license, NYS pistol license and $20.
With it I get 6 more states, PA of course, WV, GA, LA, WY and ND.
It took only 8 hours. My NYS pistol license took 80 weeks.
It took 10 minutes and $20 at the Reading Airport Sheriff’s Substation n Berks County just now with my Unrestricted NY license from Columbia County. Wow! I’m literally in shock with how quick and easy that was.
Even for a NY Sportsman License or u needed a full carry?

According to these maps, along with PA, as a non resident, this would also get you ND, WY, LA, and GA.
That was almost a bitch. Glad you were able to salvage the trip.I took the trip to Scranton today, After a 2 hour ride, I got there around 11:15 am, parked right in front of the courthouse, walked to the door to find a sign posted saying "Sorry. State computer down. No pistol permits today". The sheffif's deputies inside confirmed the problem and said "You should have called before you came" ( as if they know when the computers will be down and for how long) . I Hung around town, had lunch and called them around 1:30 pm and was told computers are up. Went back in and out in about 15 minutes with permit in hand. I would have been sadly disappointed if I made the trip and came home empty handed.

My PA license expired this month on the 31st so decided to take a ride back out last Thursday to where I originally got it which was Lackawanna County. Glad I called first because they are not processing renewals until May.
Decided to call Centre county, they said yes they are processing licenses. Well that’s true until I got there and the sheriff said we only process resident licenses. He went on to say that a bunch of sheriffs from different counties got together and decided they no longer want to honor a nonresident license but would not tell me which sheriffs.
So I drove over to the next county which is Clinton County. Young lady at the desk said absolutely no problem and five minutes later had my permit renewed.
So before you waste your time and drive out make sure you call ahead and explicitly state that you are a nonresident license holder.
Kind of fucked up how it's up to the discretion of the sheriff.
