    Keep us updated on the process. I plan on driving up to Gettysburg to get mine once I have my MD permit.

    It looks like you apply online then they contact you for an appointment to come in for your picture and card?

    Brought this up on another thread but, with new ruling that carry is a right, I wonder what it would take for PA to change laws and issue out of state without home state permit? Not much incentive for them to enforce that anymore, is there?

    That sucks. I hadn't looked yet. I'm in Port Deposit so that would have been the closest for me. Oh well.
    Just call up and ask. Worst case scenario is they say “no, it’s on our website.” Best case scenario is “sure, we can do it for you under these circumstances.”

    Thanks. I'll give it a try. As you say, the worst they can do is say no.

    The downside of a county based system is variability. In the county where I grew up (Cambria), the sheriff's office does not issue any permits outside those for county residents.
    That's what I saw on the Lancaster page when I looked after the heads up from John from MD.

    PA accepted my renewal application a few minutes ago. Looking for a nice drive, although an estimated cost for fuel at $130 isn’t particularly endearing.
    Holy jeez! What are you driving and are you going to Scranton to get your permit? Even Bowie to York and back is only 160 miles round trip (and there are places closer than York you could be doing it I am pretty sure). That's 4.5 miles per gallon of diesel or 6mpg of gas at today's pump costs (as high as they are). Care about the planet or not, I think you need to find a 2nd cheap vehicle that gets better than 4.5-6mpg.
