Just a reminder there are 15 days left to get a Pennsylvania License to carry by mail, after December 30 you will have to go to Pa to apply. A FOID card copy is required of Illinois residents. I was wondering if the LTC had to be issued by December 30 and called the Centre County office in Pa. I was told they have to receive the application by then. So some folks who are waiting for their FOID cards might get under the wire. Cost is $26 for 5 years, it is good in the surrounding states of Mo, Ky, In, Ar, Tn now and also Iowa after December 30. Good in 20 states for those not a resident of Pa, then also Iowa in 2011.

FOID and DL. It arrives shockingly fast, makes the FOID system look silly. There is a thread here about how to do it, I believe stickied, it includes the app on PDF.

Click on the Illinois Right To Carry Forum and the Get a Permit From Other States Topic. There is a link to the Centre County Pa Sheriff's Department, they issue non-resident LTC. You can download the application. Send them it completed along with a check (personal check O.K.) copy of your Drivers License and FOID card. You need 2 references for the application, they didn't contact mine, or for some others that have applied. They don't wait for your check to clear, they trust you more than the state of Illinois does. The get a Pennsylvania Permit topic should answer about all your questions, if it doesn't you could always call the Centre County Sheriff's Office. Those folks are some of the most polite and helpful civil servants I have come across. The are also very efficient sometimes issueing a LTC in a week.

Mine only took seven days! Sent it on Election Day and got it the very next Tuesday.

 

The process was so easy that I feel EVERY IllinoisCarry member should do it, even if you don't plan on carrying in the near future. Getting this is so easy that you'd be a fool to pass this one up.

 

Did I mention that it's easy? :yes:

Is that true for a renewal, or is there such a thing? Is it like a FOID, reapply for a new card when the first expires.

For a renewal you fill out the same form and mark the renewal box. Good for 5 years.

 

I called the Centre County Sheriff's Office and was told that the cutoff for renewals by mail is December 30 as well. I just sent my renewal in and would recommend anyone else who wants to keep the PA LTC do so as well.

 

Templar223 said he thought the cutoff was March 31, well when I called the Sheriff's Office they said they were trying to get an extension til May. Will they get it? Who knows? Why chance it when you can get it by mail now. She said Sheriff Nau's website www.dennynau.com will have information on any extension.

One friend I work with sent his in Dec. 4th and got it back Dec 10th. Jim.

I sent my renewal in 11/22 and got it back 11/29, not a bad turnaround time considering the holiday involved. Sent my FOID renewal in 11/8 and finally got it 12/13 thanks to a large assist from Todd V. It never ceases to amaze me just how screwed up this state is.

Sent my PA application with copy of IL Driverss Licence, copy of FOID, copy of Utah permit, and $26 check about 2 weeks ago. Still haven't received PA Permit. Should I be worried??? Seems most folks got them back within 10 days.

 

Call Centre County PA, the number is on the application. They are most helpful.

Mine doesn't expire for a couple more years. Am I OK to send now or will I be grandfathered in when expiration comes near to just renew through USPS?

I checked for you, the sheriff's office said that when it expires you will have to come in person and renew if it is after the cutoff date. Then they'll be required to take a photo and do it in the office. She said you can renew early if you wish and it will be good for 5 years from the renewal date. All the other counties require a photo and that you come in, they are being required to also.

Thanks for the info. Sending today!

Sent mine in yesterday...maybe I'll get it for Christmas...

 

Urging my brother to send his in soon...printed application out...copied his DL & FOID...gave him 2 envelopes...kick him in the butt too.

You could always send him a check for $26 made out to Centre County Sheriffs Department for Christmas. If that doesn't work he doesn't have much motivation.

So is there another state we can use instead of Penn? Centre County is over 600 miles one way. I don't know if I'll move to North West Indiana by 7/22/2015 or if illinois will become a normal state before then.

 

By 2015 there won't be a single working person left in this state, unless you call government employees and legislaters working people. Illinois will have driven the honest people out and all that will be left is welfare cases, criminals, illegal immigrants, government employees and the Democrats that ran Illinois right into the ground.

Isn't that kind of redundant? :headbang1:

Jim123, I just talked to the Centre County Sheriffs Department and asked if an application would be processed if it was postmarked by December 31. I was told that the sheriff is will be issuing by mail for at least a little while longer. I was told he would like to keep issuing non-resident by mail. There is some new equipment involved with the new issue system I believe.

 

If you want the Pa LTC by mail better get your application in now after the state determines "the fat lady sings" you'll have to make a long trip for it.
