I would like to know as well.
When I applied for a Pa Non-Res permit, a nice guy from the York County Sheriff's office called to ask a few questions. When it became clear I was a MD resident with no MD permit, he apologetically said I couldn't get a PA non-resident permit and said he would either mail back the check I wrote or just rip it up.
Agreed. My point is/was (and I just edited to clarify) - just get a non-resident permit from one of the easy states to get and carry in PA with that permit. Why jump through hoops to get a PA non-resident?

Maryland blows big time... my family cannot wait to sell this house and get to arizona with my brother... a true free state
Sorry I misunderstood your comment. I took it as the Utah non resident permit not being valid in PA. I agree that a MD resident should get one of the many permits accepted on PA, which one is up to them.

so, just to sum up all these posts in here:
PA will not issue you a non-resident CCW unless you have a permit from your home state.
If you already have a non-resident CCW permit from another state that is accepted in PA (ie: utah, va, florida), you can legally carry concealed in PA with that permit.

Except for pauln, unless Harford County is also in another state besides Maryland.

Filled out the application, sent them $20 and a copy of my Florida permit (where I also don't have a residence) and they sent me a permit.

Your permit was issued in 2008 before they changed the law. Currently PA will not issue to the average Maryland resident.

Far as I know the clause in question predates 2008 as well.
They allowed Maryland residents to hold a PA permit until mid 2010. Many of our customers that live along the border applied for UT since their permit was expiring.

If your state has a permit system, you must have that permit before PA will issue a non-resident. Just like NH.
I remember getting my first non-resident PA permit. Late 80's or early 90's (I was a MD resident). I walk into the courthouse in Centre County and announce that I want a permit. Denny Nau, the Sheriff then and *now*, comes out, apologizes for having to go to a meeting, and he asks if I would mind coming back in an HOUR to pick up my permit.
I went out to eat lunch, came back in about 90 minutes and the permit was sitting on the secretary's desk waiting for me.
Since you brought it up....
I have been looking for, and not found an answer to even on PA's websites.
Is there a need to inform officer in PA if pulled over if carrying?

Dammit I hit send too soon ha. As a MD resident... We can only transport a gun if we're going to the range or a shop etc... Legally. So if I were to go to PA for the day and I wanted to carry (having a Utah permit) wouldn't the drive from MD to PA be illegal since I'm not going to the range or a place to use the gun? Id be driving it "just because". Of course you could always say you were going to the range but still.. Just curious about the fine print.
Worst case scenario if you had to use your weapon when in PA... As a MD resident you could get nailed for the illegal transport in the first
Place?
Nothing in law says you have to go to gun shop or range in Maryland.
No. PA has no duty to notify
