So if they buy in PA, how can they bring it to MN if they fly there?
In their checked luggage with a firearms declaration.
Is the recipient returning to Pa for Christmas and getting the gun there?
Now she needs to work on out of state CCW in MN
I have a PA Licence to Carry. When she comes back to PA for XMas, she needs to apply for her PA carry permit, PA and MN are reciprocal states for carry permits.
If her residence is outside of Philadelphia PA, it will take 2-3 weeks to apply & grant the permit through the County Sheriff's office, PA is a shall issue state so she will get the permit if she's qualified. If she's a Philly resident it will take up to six months since carry permits in Philly are administered by the Philadelphia Police Dept. and they will take their time issuing the permit (the only place in PA where carry permits are not administered by the County Sheriff's office).
The application for the PA license to carry including the photo does take about 20-30 minutes but it will be 2-3 weeks before the application is processed, and the permit itself is mailed to the applicant. I'm assuming she has a valid PA drivers license or voter registration card.
Ours is the same. They even have night time hours twice a week for those of us who cant get there during normal courthouse hours.That must be by county because ours just prints your stuff right there and hands you the card.
