New Jersey to PA

Rmeju:

Non resident permits are dependent on carry permits from your state of residency.

People with NJ DLs pretty much bat zero at that, these days.

Really, I don't see what the big deal is: the dude's moving to PA, so get a PA DL. It's an ordinary enough thing, people do it everyday.

Frankly, the more resistant one is to getting the DL of the state one resides in, the fishier it gets, and it's fair to start wondering if someone playing residency games, which is playing with fire.

Sadly, residency games are all too common for people who don't live in free states.

Where would I go for a non-resident CCW? Just to the Sheriff's office?

Go to the County Sheriff's office where you are going to reside. Why get a non-resident CCW if you are going to be living in PA?

You can *ONLY* get a non-resident CCW from PA without presenting a CCW from your home state *IF* you live and reside in a non-issue state. There are exactly 2 of those now; IL and WIS.

To the great credit of the Commonwealth, and the Centre Co. Sheriff, I have a PA permit. I got it for 26 bucks and the asking. I guess PA determined that I had rights under the 2nd and 14th even though I lived in Daley-Blago occupied territory.

If you live there, it still isn't a hard process from my understanding.

Frankly, you've tripped my spider sense, and strike me as someone playing residency games, which is to play fast and loose with the law, which is frowned on around here.

We do NOT facilitate unlawful activities.

Yes, it is your right to be armed.

No, THR will not help you play games with the law, which is rather straightforward in these matters.

Pick a state.

Document your residency there, via the usual means, just like everyone else.

Live with the choice.



End of story.

If you're going to be living in Pennsylvania, why are you reluctant to give up your New Jersey residency and driver's license?


People move from one state to another every day. You're moving. Establish your new residency, get the driver's license, and get on with your life.


I can tell you that living in NJ, you're going to have a very tough time getting a PA carry permit. You're going to need to produce a NJ carry permit in the application process. NJ does issue permits. Even if that means they only give them out sparingly, they still issue them. The PA application process for a carry permit is quite clear. If your state issues a license, you must produce that before PA will give you one as an out of state resident. Any Sheriff who ignores that part of the application process isn't following proper procedures.

Nutter Signs 5 Gun Control Laws

On Thursday, City Council passed and Mayor Nutter signed into law five gun control measures.

Surrounded by lawmakers, police and community activists, and in front of tables loaded down with confiscated weapons, Mayor Michael Nutter Thursday methodically signed into law five new gun control measures, in direct defiance of state law.

"We've had enough," said Nutter. "We've stood for enough, and today we're taking direct steps to make the city safe."

City Council's vote was unanimous, each bill approved by a 17-to-nothing count. Donna Reed Miller, who co-sponsored the legislation, was all smiles. "We want to thank our colleagues for voting for the five weapon bills. We believe this is a step in the right direction," said Miller.

The legislative package includes bills that limit handgun purchases to one-per-month and require the prompt reporting of a lost-or-stolen gun. Those measures are designed to stop so-called straw buyers from putting weapons in the hands of their criminal cronies and so, cutting down on street violence, the vast majority of which, involves gunplay.

"We're now going to another level," says co-sponsor Darrell Clarke. "We're talking about obviously not asking the state to enable us to do these bills- we're talking about doing them on our own."

But the General Assembly has always made clear it will not allow even its biggest city to ignore state law and enact its own.

On "Good Day Philadelphia" Thursday, former House Speaker John Perzel put it bluntly: "If you're looking to get your own gun laws in the city, it is not going to happen. It's never going to happen."

When Fox 29 asked Perzel whether a court challenge against the new city laws would likely succeed, he responded quickly. "It's unconstitutional! The city is going to lose, sure!"

Perhaps but Council seems to believe this issue is worth a fight with Harrisburg.

"We have to move forward on it, and if we sit back and don't do anything, we will never know what they will allow or what they will not allow," says Council President Anna Verna.

Darrell Clarke's original legislation included nine gun-control bills. The five that have now passed have been fine-tuned--"tweaked", says Clarke-to withstand an expected court challenge."

Even the staunchest gun control supporters know that challenge will likely come very soon.
