Multi state CCW W/O class?

[hsiddall]

I thought that I read here somewhere that there was a state issuing non resident permits and required no class. My father in law and I paln to take a utah/florida combo but this is until then.

It would help us if you told us what state you live in. If you are a resident of Illinois or Wisconsin you can get a Pennsylvania LTCF from Centre County:

As wdlsguy said,go for it.
A PA license will be in your hands within 2 weeks or less.

New Hampshire. Super easy.

 

[csmkersh]

Doesn't New Hampshire still require you have a CHL in your home state? Did 4 years ago when I applied.

New Hampshire

Good point, romma. When your PA license arrives you can apply for NH.

Good resourse for non-resident permits

http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/NonResidentPermits.pdf

This doc shows 9 states where you can apply for non-resident permits by mail.

Pennsylvia looks like the best place to get a non-resident permit w/o a course, followed by New Hampshire (as long as you have a permit from another state).

Maine and Florida look almost as easy but for the requirement to prove "firearms training" with in the past 5 years. However if you're a vetern/active/reservist they don't require that (a copy of ID card or discharge papers cover it).
And FL is expensive if you ask me at $117.

Florida?

The Florida class does not require you fire a round! But having said that, more LEOs are shooting themselves by accident than CCW Citizens, and there are lots more private Citizens than Police with holstered loaded hand guns.

When I got my Florida permit a couple years back, the requirement was to show evidence that I had taken a class of some sort (basically, that I had evidence to show I had some firearms familiarization). A basic NRA class, for instance, or hunter training, or military experience.

What states is the PA permit valid?

Pennsylvania - AK, AR, AZ, [strike]CO[/strike], [strike]FL[/strike], GA, ID, IN, KY, LA, [strike]MI[/strike], MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, [strike]NH[/strike], OK, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, [strike]WV[/strike], WY

Colorado (CO), Michigan (MI), South Carolina (SC), New Hampshire (NH), Florida (FL), Kansas (KS) and West Virginia (WV) only honor permits from residents of the issuing states.

Florida.By the way when I applied for New Hampshire that took 5 days box to box!
They don't even require a photo .Very inexpensive.20 dollars a few years ago.
As several posters suggested get NH after you receive your PA.
I'll list what states honor NH for you.See link:

I think the PA permit may require you to have a permit for your home state right?

 

[George C Morrison]

I think the PA permit may require you to have a permit for your home state right?

If your home state issues permits,correct.
Illinois does not issue permits.See:

http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/NonResidentPermits.pdf

 

[Yellowfin]

I wonder if PA would consider CA and NJ non issuing states. In theory they do, but in practice they don't.

 

[wdlsguy]

You need a permit from your home state if that state has a concealed carry law. Residents of Illinois, Vermont and Wisconsin are exempt from this requirement.

I wonder if PA would consider CA and NJ non issuing states.

No such luck.

 

[SCGirl]

I have the SC permit, and I am getting the Utah permit, and don't have to take the class for it, just pay my money

 

[VPLthrneck]

I'll be appling for PA after I get WA's

After finding out they have a sheriff over there that is helpful with non-residents getting permits, I'll be applying for their's after I get one from Washington. Then when I go one leave later this year I'll get Montana's. I know there will be several duplicate coverages there, but with the "resident only" clause for certain states, this should cover it.

Hsidell--deffinately keep us posted on the turn around time.
From what I read it sounded like a few weeks; is this the same as a PA resident?

Thanks for clearing that up. FL's DOJ/DOL site wasn't very clear on the exact class requirement outside the military experience.

A copy of your DD214 is good enough for Florida , thats what I used
