I rather be safe then sorry.
It's better to have it when you need it then need it and dont have it.
Sounds like this is directed towards residents of PA. Is this correct?

I believe you are correct. They have to physically come in, get their DL scanned and sign the request in person. Sounds strange to me.

I emailed the Sheriff this morning...
Sheriff,
Concerning your recent update entitled "SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ON LICENSE TO CARRY FIREARM" I have a question. Does this new process apply to non-resident applicants, as well? I am actually planning on sending off my non-resident application today...
Thanks for your time.
Hi John - yes it applies to non residence. We are however still
processing non resident application.
Happy Trails .....Denny

I have a PA non-resident license, it doesn't expire for a few years but when it does, does this mean I have to drive to PA and renew it in person?
Vermont does not issue Permit/Licenses to Carry a Concealed firearm. Vermont allows anyone
who can legally own a firearm to carry it concealed without a permit of any kind.
It's a new computer system with digital photo and digital signature...the scanning of the drivers license is just a quick way to populate the applicant info. In person will be required. One sheriff did say in person would only be required one time...then the pic/sig would be used for each renewal. Not sure how true this is.
The cost will not go up...in fact...it should go down. $5 of the application fee is a temporary fee that was set aside for the last 5 yrs to pay for this new system being implemented now. That temp fee expires early 2011.
Go with AZ...it's cheaper than FL and almost identical reciprocity.
PA Law was actually changed a little over 5 years ago. That is when they were directed to go to the new system and get the digital photo etc. They wrote into the law that no later than May 2011 every issuing office would have to use the new system. They gave them time to get the equipment required to make the plastic licenses with photo and signature on them. Most Sheriffs issued paper permits. Centre County from my understanding will still issue without a visit till at least the 1st of the year and He may go up to the very last minute. That is up to him. But they have to follow the new law May of 2011. So that will mean a trip to apply. They will mail it to you after it is approved. As for renewal with the new permit down the road I am not sure at this time if another trip will be required. Things could change greatly between now and then and we will just have to wait and see.
Does PA require a photo be mailed in currently?

I still don't understand where they're getting the idea that anyone has to apply in person. Maybe I've missed it, but I don't see anything in the law that would require that.
I guess I shouldn't expect too much in the way of reading comprehension, since most PA sheriff's can't seem to understand what the cost for a LTCF is supposed to be, even though it's very clearly stated in statute.
