I live in NY - Suffolk County, and have my NYS pistol permit. Of course, being in Suffolk County it is a "restricted" permit... Target/Sportsman.
I am now looking into getting non-resident permits in other states. Have read the information on this forum and elsewhere and am a little confused.
The first non-resident permit I am looking to get is PA. It looks like I will be going there several times this summer and will need my handguns with me. Based on the nature of my visits, I might be legal without a PA permit, but I would just rather get the permit and not have to worry about technicalities.
It looks like Centre County, PA is the county of choice. But the application says to include a copy of my concealed carry permit. I do not have a NY CCW, and will likely never get one in my current county. I have read elsewhere that being from NY, I need an unrestricted NY permit to get the PA non-resident permit.
Which is correct? I really don't want to waste my time/money to apply for a permit if it will automatically be denied.
