Getting a Pennsylvania non resident pistol permit

What it took to get a non resident permit in Pennsylvania, how to get one, and where it entitles you to carry concealed.

[@TroyBierkortte]

PA licenses are all issued by he Sheriffs. So, there might be different experiences among those who got them from different counties. I got mine from Luzerne County. I did the entire application online and was called when it was approved. I drove there to pick it up. The photo was taken, the Deputy Sheriff gave me my card, and I was done in 5 minutes. I didn’t need references or fingerprints. Just a copy of my current resident permit from Connecticut.

Thank you, I’m from CT with a CCw Permit interested in PA. Going to acquire this one asap. I appreciate the confidence

Hello, I just received my PA., ccw permit. I have a permit from my home state of NJ. Going tru the process of getting my PA permit was quick, simple and easy. It took one week to obtain the permit. Just have all your ducks in order and the process will be easy for anyone who qualifies.

What county did you go to?

[@wilsonking7836]

@@warrenprescott4555 I applied tru the Wayne County sheriff office in Honesdale PA.

I'm a little confused because I keep getting shuffled around. How can I obtain a Philly CCW permit as a NJ resident?

[@KarmineDaK9]

Did you do it all online and they sent it to you ? or did you go there ?

[@JohnTOutlander]

I live in The Peoples Republic of New York. I heard that from the deputy at the scanner in PA when I went to pick up my non resident CCW permit and have used it ever since. I mailed in my application and verification's and in just about a week I got my phone call to come get my permit. I have since renewed it once. Both events were very easy and straight forward. The way it should be.

I live in NJ and I got my PA license in one day as it should be everywhere

What city did you fo to get the pa permit?

[@MOTORCYCLES-ANDGUNS]

​@05cesarleo When I got mine, I drove all the way to Centre County PA. I got mine within 30 min, I did it last year.

[@j0ngaxx]

​@MOTORCYCLES-ANDGUNS what docs and Id's did the Centre County PA ask you to bring in? Thanks in advance

[@D4LM4R]

Thanks for the valuable info. I’m a trucker and I need my pistol on the road for protection

[@05cesarleo]

Just got mine today from PA. I live in nj. Took only 4 hr. Did it online and just have to pick it up.

[@nyacoustics8373]

What county do you do it online and what's the fee ?

[@05cesarleo]

@nyacoustics8373 did it in Wayne County and the fee was $20.00

[@lanced3256]

So helpful thank you. P.A. is such a great place

[@Toastification]

I’ve got my CT resident, Utah and Florida non-resident permits. Looking into Pa, Sc and NY now. For the Utah I needed a class, but not Florida. I just followed the instructions on their website, so very easy. Thank you for the vid! Nice to hear Pa was an easy go...

[@timtellstales1491]

As of right now, NY does not have a non resident license, and doesn't have reciprocity with almost any state, but that may change here after the elections.

[@Toastification]

@@timtellstales1491 yes, I sent an email to the state troopers looking for info. One must own property and/or be a state resident. It does seem purely unconstitutional that our 2A rights disappear once we cross an invisible border in the sand... Let’s hope things change for the better!

[@EducatedBlackMan]

Forget NY. They don't give out non-resident permits.

[@bignaf1875]

Can you carry in Delaware ?

[@Toastification]

@@bignaf1875 no, they’re one of the tyrannical blue states. The USCCA has a great tool in their website showing reciprocity of all permits by state.

[@DrAlexVasquezICHNFM]

Thank you

[@333Kdigital]

I just got my non resident permit for PA. I'm headed up from MD tomorrow

[@livingmybestlife365]

How long did it take to get approved? I did mine online yesterday from Maryland

[@333Kdigital]

@@livingmybestlife365 edit:about 5 days. Once you get approved the website will ask you to choose your pickuo time and location. I chose the courthouse at first but next appointment was Feb 27. I then chose satellite building and went next day. They told me they serve about 7 residents to 60 nonresident per day

[@livingmybestlife365]

@@333Kdigital thank you. What’s the satellite building ?

[@333Kdigital]

@@livingmybestlife365 it's just a building york county uses for different county services. Plenty of parking in the big lot out front. You will go through metal detector then the rest is handled right there at next desk. You never leave the front lobby. Took about 10 min

Although it's part of Pennsylvania, does Philadelphia have any "special" restrictions?

[@kevinbullock3636]

I have a NJ license as a resident of NJ and got my PA license recently. My question is can I concealed carry in Philadelphia with this license? It's hard getting direct answer. Thx in advance.

[@EducatedBlackMan]

I have a MD CCP and was able to apply online in York County PA. I have to pick it up in person once approved. I plan to get Utah permit to carry in Delaware.

[@bigb63fsu]

I’m following in your footsteps. I’m out of Maryland

what about 9 hr class?

[@axelake7020]

Where do I retrieve the paper application? Can not find it on the PSP sight. Thanks.

[@timtellstales1491]

In Centre county we printed it right off the website.

[@cocobrother]

Greetings, this is a big help. I applied directly to the state and was rejected as a non-resident. I will be vacationing in PA at the Poconos Shawnee resort in June. I have a MD, AZ, and FLA cc. Can you tell me if have to go to the county municipal center or state police barracks. Thank you.

[@timtellstales1491]

It should be the sheriff's office. I'm not familiar with exactly where that resort is, but my guess is either Wayne, Monroe or Pike county. I'd just contact the sheriff's office in whichever county you'll be staying in.

[@cocobrother]

@@timtellstales1491, I followed your advice and checked the county's willingness to issue out-of-state CCW permits. And Monroe County is not accepting applications, however, York County will and it's closer to Maryland. They will accept online applications but don't miss your appointment date and time.

[@DayParkz]

@@cocobrother apply for pike county in milford , pa ! applied via mail , 4-5 days later got a call back for an appt ! only downside is you have to drive and pick it up ! which was a 4 hour drive for me , i went that weekend and within 12 days after applying had a non resident PA CCW !

[@erealpe13]

Which office did you go I’m in NJ BTW . Thanks for the info

[@robertopastrano2693]

Is it the same form that in-state people use?

[@timtellstales1491]

I wish I knew, I will check with them on the next weekday and get you an answer, but my gut assumption would be yes

[@mrmichael20]

which county in PA did you get your ccw? Because not all counties will grant you the out of state ccw..

[@timtellstales1491]

Centre

[@marsoelflaco5722]

If a County doesn't grant the out of state permit, will still honor it from another county that does? If it does, will it have restrictions/"fine print"?

[@MikeMisha]

​@@marsoelflaco5722once you get a ccw from one county, it is good for the whole state and has no restrictions.

[@bignaf1875]

I live in Pennsylvania and have a ccw here, but I want to be able to carry when I travel to Delaware and New Jersey. If I get an Utah ccw will Delaware recognize it? New Jersey is perhaps a loss cause… they just passed a bill making it impossible for me. They won’t even allow you to carry on your own vehicle

[@rasheed215]

Unfortunately, being a Pennsylvania resident, you cannot get a license to carry in Delaware. I live in Delaware and I am able to get an out-of-state Pennsylvania license but unfortunately Delaware does not allow out-of-state licenses..

[@bignaf1875]

That’s so dumb. Why do they make it hard for people who try to do things the right way? The law is setup to get us caught up. It literally take me 15 minutes to get to Delaware from where I’m at now. And I have family that moved there. Some people say I can get an Utah out of state license for Delaware but I don’t trust it.

[@bignaf1875]

Meanwhile, police officers and retired police can carry on all 50 states lol. I don’t understand why people aren’t in an uproar about the blatant denial of our rights 🤷‍♂️

[@TheDingpud]

Look up which states recognize UTAH ccw...

[@TheHispanicConservative1776]

I know you asked your question about three months ago, so you probably already know this, but as of right now you can carry in your vehicle in New Jersey and you can also get a New Jersey non-resident carry and if you get a Florida non-resident carry Delaware does recognize Florida non-resident you just have to follow the Carry laws in New Jersey and in Delaware and what I mean by that as of right now your magazine cannot hold more than 10 rounds and be careful with the hollow points in New Jersey.

[@JVCFirearms]

What county in PA did you go too?

He said Center County, PA.✌🏾

[@jeffreyshaffer1874]

Pa. Shouldn't give to people from states that don't recognize ours period. to you the people get the law changed in your screwed up state then it wouldn't matter

[@668495]

Shouldn't have to get a permit in any other state in the first place, I don't need a drivers license for every state (which is a privilege) but for an actual right I have to jump through hoops to cross a state line? It's all BS
