PA non resident CCW

[04RWon]

So Im looking around exploring different states non resident CCW permits. Please correct me if Im wrong but PA looks like the cheapest and simplest to aquire? Just submit the app, pay the fee, and wait it out. PA covers the states Im worried about at the moment, VA, NC, and FL so it will do for the time being.
This is the site Im on now...is there a better place for the information?

To those who have the PA permit:

Whats the fee?
How long does it take?
Am I missing anything?

PA will only issue non-resident permits, if you have a permit issued in the state in which you reside.

If you have established a residence in PA, then it costs $25 and takes 15 minutes.

I have my Utah permit that allows me to carry in PA.

Thats confusing me. Its says if that state provides one, if Im reading it correctly. Well MD is not a shall issue states isnt it? But you answered my questions...oh well I guess Ill have to keep putting the pennies away for the Utah permit and class.

Im sure there is a thread on the Utah but is there main thread on the Utah process. I see there was some changes recently for the process.

Another option is an NRA Basic Pistol course and a Florida permit.....

The Virginia CCW was the easiest for me to get. You can use the MD handgun safety card as proof of training. I think it's $100.

Doesn't matter if a state is shall issue or discriminatory issue like MD, if you are a MD resident, you need a MD permit to get a PA one. IL and VT don't issue permits(for completely opposite reasons) so those can get a PA non-res permit.

Most every part of firearms code is pre-empted by state law, so localities cannot legally ban things, or make their own gun laws. The only real exception to this is the process of issuing LTCF permits, the state leaves the process to the sheriff's office or Philly PD. The cost, maximum time allowed to issue it and a few other things are state law, so it can vary. my permit, and the wife's York county LTCF's cost $25 for 5 years, required a single page application(smaller than a 4473), and we were called to come pick it up the same day the app arrived at the sheriff's office by mail. Before we moved to PA, and were MD residents, I had a FL permit(actually still have it), kinda extensive process, but not too hard to accomplish. The industry partners here could probably help by informing you what state permit is best, and guide you step-by step through the process.

Not completely accurate.

A Utah non- resident permit will not work in Florida. Florida offers its own non res permit.

Is this new? PA issued me a non-resident permit and they let me re-new it a couple years ago and I don't have a MD permit.

 

[Billcw]

Yep .. I looked into it because I do have an MD permit ..they stated I need that to get a non res of thiers ..

SInce FL is your main concern....you HAVE to get the FL permit. They wont accept any other non-res permit you might get. If not for FL, I would have recommended the AZ permit.

Isn't there some law about about guns and schools??? She may be able to get her permit, but might not be able to keep any weapons on school property.
