Satellite locations for concealed carry applications and issuance.

Drove my son downtown to Pittsburgh a couple months ago to get his out-of-state concealed carry permit for PA. He was in and out in less than 10 minutes.

When I hear about what some of you have to go through to get concealed carry permits, this is very surprising, And pleasantly so.

Timely subject. I just made the 30 min trip (one way) downtown to pistol permit dept. I paid over $8 to park. Then I paid $5 to add a new revolver to my permit. Then I have to take my coupon back to dealer to pickup my revolver. Typical NY. Make it so expensive and time consuming people won’t bother. But I will say this. The employees at the Pistol Permit Dept are very nice and helpful. They know they are there to provide a service. And living in a blue state I appreciate that.

NY is fun…at least my old county in NY gave me a coupon to carry with me so if I was at a store or show I could take the gun home with me that day.

My PA is out of Centre County, easy in and easy out, no hassle.
 
When did Allegheny resume issuing non-resident carry permits? Sometime in the 1990s I made the drive up there to renew only to learn they'd quit issuing non-resident permits.

Non resident used to be done by mail. Denny Nau out of Centre County was the best.

I had one of those 20 years ago when I was living in MN. I just used the satellite at Harwick about a year ago when I moved back to PA from wild and wonderful WV.
 
I kept up my PA permit after I moved to TN in 1992. Good for 5 years at at time. I got them from Lycoming County as that is where I still have family. Then in 2018 IIRC the sheriff's office put out a statement that they would no longer issue to nonresidents. I don't get back often but my father passed last year so I stopped by the office while in Williamsport and they issued me one. So someplace in that time frame things changed. TN does have reciprocity with PA but I guess I always like having one for old times sake. I don't know about other counties but none of mine ever stated anything about nonresident, just had my TN address.
 
Try California. Here, you have to choose which guns you want on a permit and prove ownership. I have three on my permit. Then you have to qualify with each weapon which really doesn’t bother me as it’s another excuse to go to the range. Of course there’s a background check, fingerprints etc and fees too, for the rangemaster, the county and the state. And then do it all over in two years.

That's crazy.
 
In Ohio we have Constitutional Carry and permits. I've renewed my permit about 4 times now. That gives me coverage In all the states I travel to except N.J.

In Ohio You permit is no longer required. but the benefit of no background check on purchases is almost priceless!

Before the state started permits, we had "Justifiable Defense". A list of jobs or reasons that allowed CC. The never Defined "Large amount of Cash" was a favorite.

I got mine in June of '89 when I lived in Blair County, then I moved to LA for work in August of '90 and had to wait for this state to pass the law. It was easier in PA then, I have no idea what it's like now. In LA, as a 65+ veteran, it's free except for the required class every five years. We're now a Constitutional Carry state, but I keep the permit current because I often travel.
 
I took my daughter and then her husband, two different days. They were in & out of the City/County Bldg. before I made it around the block to pick them back up. And that was their first time.
I used one of the Satellite locations the last time on a Saturday. Angel was with me so I hit the remote starter for her A/C. I was back at the car with my permit and Angel already had a couple ladies fawning over her by the car. No tests involved. For $20 every 5 years it's worth it. Most importantly, the Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) Police are the friendliest bunch of
people you'd ever want to meet (Unless you happen to be public relieving yourself; then you're on your own.)
