PA Carry Permit

Since my native state does not have reciprocity with Ohio, I went up to see the Butler County Sheriff last Friday (May 31). Ten minutes for the young lady at the counter to look at my application, get my picture and signature, and collect $20. Got my License to Carry Firearms in the mail today (June 5). On the back is an American flag and the Sheriff's address. Looks like Sheriff Slupe is on our side.
 
I believe the Ohio permit is still pretty new. If the requirements for the Ohio permit exceed the PA permit, reciprocity will eventually happen. The PA permit is easy to get if you have a permit in your resident state (as an official non-resident). I didn't know that until a thread where a guy from NJ was trying to get a PA permit and couldn't.

After I got my TN permit, and since I am a native PA person and frequently traveled back to PA for family, I was certainly interested in reciprocity with TN. Handgun law showed reciprocity. But I decided to call the PA Attorney General's office and check... no reciprocity.

I contacted the TN Attorney General and was kind of blown off. A letter from the TN Attorney General is necessary requesting the reciprocity and acknowledgment that TN accepted the PA permit. I was blown off, but in only a month or so, PA had reciprocity with TN. I like to think that I had something to do with that.
 
Try getting a Utah non-resident permit it has the best reciprocity of any gun permit 30 plus states. Most states hold some sort of local class for it.
 
If you want to get an Utah carry permit and not sure of where there is a class being held you can go to myusconcealedcarry.com and they have listing of classes that they are holding. They give a 4 hour class and will take pictures and take fingerprints plus have all the paperwork necessary to apply for your permit.
 
I really wish Ohio and PA would get together. I don't travel to Ohio much, but would be good. I guess the Utah permit is good there. BTW, you came about 6 blocks from my house on your visit to the Sheriff's office.
