Note: PA State Rep. Mark Keller initiated a Firearms Seminar in the 86th District and invited Attorneys and Local Sheriffs to discuss the laws concerning carrying of firearms in the state of Pennsylvania. The seminar took over an hour but was worth the watch.
The Superior Court of Pennsylvania rules that the residents of the state must possess PA carry permits to be able to carry their firearms.
The process of obtaining a permit in Pennsylvania is very simple. You just have to bring your PA Driver’s License or State Identification Card to the office of the sheriff in your county. You will be given an application form for a Concealed Carry Permit and you will have to pay the fee which costs $20. It takes 45 days for the sheriff to process the application.
The concealed carry permit in Philadelphia is valid up to 5 years.
Note: There are some county sheriffs that require other identification cards aside from Driver’s License, while there are some that require 90 days or residency. Consult the sheriff of the county where you reside to know more information about this.
