I live in one of those liberal states that will never allow concealed carry but I found this out the other day. Pennsylvania, there is one sherrif that accepts concealed carry permit applications via the mail (you don't have to be a PA resident). Once you have your PA concealed carry permit mailed to you it is recognized by 15 other states.
Pretty cool if your into that sort of thing.
I think every state should give reciprocosity as it relates to a citizen of a certain states rights. At least if traveling
Good to know if i ever need to kill someoneQuote:

Why would you need a concealed carry permit to kill someone?Quote:

Exhaust all other alternatives to pulling that thing, because even if you are right and justified you will have the prosecutors office on your ass. I truely mean you will be paying out the nose for a lawyer... But if you are alive and do not sustain grave bodily injury, even if you do time the permit and firearm will have served its purpose.Quote:

Ha. Never shot anyone, never gone hunting, don't ever want to shoot anyone. Except for maybe that idiot whos sawing off people's heads in Iraq. Actually enjoy the sport of shooting. It's a great competition, pistols, shotguns, rifles. I enjoy it.Quote:

The PA permit will let you carry in 16 (18 if you have a resident permit, but Florida and New Hampshire only recognize resident permits and not non-resident permits) of the 50 United States. You can get information on all of the laws and reciprocity/recognition agreements at www.packing.org ... just pick Pennsylvania in the state dropdown box. Here is the link to the Centre County Sheriff's Department, where you can print the application. The Centre County Sheriff is the only Sheriff in PA that will do this through the mail.

I think he was saying since I am not a PA resident then Florida wouldn't recognize my PA permit since I live somewhere else. FLA would recognize yours if you are a resident of PA and have a PA permit.
This shows who recognizes PA's permit.

i dont know where yoru getting your facts from but they are wrong. and you have to go in person to get your permit. they changed the laws, we dont have Concealed weapons permits anymore, we just have carry permits, you can carry it anywhere on you, even concealed.
see for your self : http://www.packing.org/state/index.jsp/pennsylvania
heres the maps that show what states take PA license, and its only 8 states that take it:
http://www.packing.org/gs/pennsylvania_map.gif
actually i see what yoru saying, im not sure how to read the map. its kinda confusing, it shoudl just say honors and doesnt honor, but it says reciprocity in blue. what ever the fruck that means. i do know for a fact thought that you have to show up in person to apply for a permit unless you have a permit in your home state : The Sheriff of Centre Co. PA., Denny Nau, will issue Via mail to Non Residents of Pennsylvania. (You must have a permit from your state of Residence if your state issues permits)
I will look into it further. I know he just got his in the mail using that PDF with the Centre county sheriff. I will double check with him on when he did it. He just told me out it yesterday.
What do the resoprocity states mean then? I thought that met you could carry under their laws?
Right, see my state is a may issue state so I do not have to show a permit from my state and he thinks I can do it through that one sheriff through the mail.Quote:

NY is quite possibly the worst state for gun laws. I would hate to live there.
I can't wait to move to PA.

I live in florida so we have it pretty good here. no matter what even if you kill someone and you were in the right and followed all proper procedures you will go to jail and it will cost you thousands for attorney. doesnt matter if it was a crackhead with 1000 priors robbing you at home. avoid it at all costs and if you have to do it you know you feared for your life so you wont care about the consequences anyway.Quote:

When it comes down to it, if I had to use a firearm it would be a last resort and I would be justified.
I don't really need the permit. If I want to use a drug that harms no one but myself, I will use it. If I need to speed on the highway and can do it without endangering other motorists, I will do it. If I want to have a weapon in my car, that I have been militarily trained to use with restraint, I will. The laws of this country which restrict behaviors that are victimless mean nothing to me. I live righteously and am a good man.
not sure what state you are in and your laws but here the gun can be cocked, locked and ready to go with permit. i also disagree with you on carrying it "sometimes" although I have the same tendency to not feel like carrying mine if my clothes dont conceal it well. its like wearing your seatbelt only when your speeding. you dont get to pick and chose what day some low life scumbag is going to try to stick a knife in your neck for change in your pocket. the day you dont have it is the day you'll need it.Quote:
