      PA non-resident permit?

      Damn, that's insanely fast. I think PA must be leaning heavily on and trusting our MD CCW's. Your turnaround was so fast, like immediate, that there's no way they could contact your references, run a background check, etc. Still, 6hrs & 45min was incredibly fast in my mind, for applying...

      PA non-resident permit?

      I've heard that she works at the Satellite Center. Ahem, of course, I'm going to the Satellite Center for pickup as it looks to be right off I-83, looks to have plenty of parking, and they don't say that you can't bring a cell phone in. I don't know about the elevator, but I do remember...

      PA non-resident permit?

      I seem to recall seeing something about having 30 days to pick up, or would have to start a new application. Others in this thread also have mentioned having 30 days to pickup. Here's the locations and available times to pick up that was included in my approval email: You can choose to...

      PA non-resident permit?

      Damn, you guys were right, PA is REALLY fast! I filled out my permit application last night, probably finished and submitted around 9pm, so I knew they were closed and didn't think that they would even get to see my application until sometime today at the earliest, maybe in a few days. Just in...

      PA non-resident permit?

      Now I know why I never became a Lawyer, legalize makes my head hurt, lol. I think what I'll do, just to play it safe, will be to lock my Sig in my gun safe, and separate the mags to another location in my truck before I cross the PA state line. But once I come out of the Sheriff's office with...

      PA non-resident permit?

      So, if I’m understanding this right, we can apply online for a PA non-resident carry permit and then go pick up once the permit is ready. I’d be heading up I-83 so would prefer the York Satellite Office. But here’s my burning question: I have a MD CCW and carry my Sig everywhere, especially...

      Original Florida CWL Time Frame: 2 Weeks

      Thanks Allan. I've been procrastinating for the last year due to having to get ink fingerprints. Yeah, probably not that big of a deal but it is a PIA compared to having digital fingerprints. When I went through the MD CCW training program, the instructor had a fingerprint lady come into the...

      Original Florida CWL Time Frame: 2 Weeks

      If we're applying by mail, how do we ask for/request expedited processing? If I include my DD214, will they automatically expedite the process, or do we specifically have to request?

      Is the HQL still required to purchase handguns?

      I don't know when the law was enacted, but I don't recall having to complete any forms back when I purchased the Glock for my son. I don't think it was an issue back then, because I didn't have to do fingerprints, wait 7 days to come back to pickup, or anything like that. These days...

      IWB / OWB 12, 1, 3?

      I don't worry about it either as the carry rig that I put together for me & my body type gives me excellent concealability. But it's not just standing in line to consider. If I bend over at a store, the bottom of my grip might print a bit, so I don't bend over, I'll squat if I need to pick...

      IWB / OWB 12, 1, 3?

      The final point is my primary concern. I'm not concerned about the old lady standing behind me in the grocery store checkout line. I'm much more concerned about bad actors who may be in the vicinity scoping things out. I want to blend in and look as harmless as possible, so I don't draw their...

      Supreme Court remits MD assault weapons ban back to lower courts in light of Bruen vs. NY ruling

      I think they've all been wrong with various things at various times. I listen to what each has to say, discount about 50% right off the bat, then wait and watch to see if what they predict comes true. I think one of the causes of channels getting things wrong might be that each channel wants to...

      IWB / OWB 12, 1, 3?

      You'll see this phrase a lot in here "concealed means concealed". If you're going to get your CCW and go through the trouble of carrying concealed, then you want your gun to be concealed as much as possible. You and I may not be bothered by someone who is printing, but do we really know if...

      IWB / OWB 12, 1, 3?

      Thanks brother, you're most welcome. There's no substitute for personally trying things to see how they work for you. Do a LOT of research to narrow everything down to a few possible choices, and then jump in, order some stuff and start experimenting with placement & fine-tuning your carry rig...

      Is the HQL still required to purchase handguns?

      Thanks brother. I used to shoot at Freestate, but I don't like waiting an hour or two to get a lane so I've been going to Bel Air Gun Range for the last year and hardly ever have to wait. I'll check out Freestate and Absolute in Bel Air for the prints, both are fairly close by.

      Supreme Court remits MD assault weapons ban back to lower courts in light of Bruen vs. NY ruling

      I watch four boxes diner, armed scholar, and probably all of the others mentioned, but I'll add 2 more that I like that I don't think have been brought up: Guns & Gadgets & Heavy Duty Country. They both get to the point quickly, well, that is, after they thank the sponsor of their video and talk...

      Is the HQL still required to purchase handguns?

      My son's retired law enforcement, I was military, so I guess we both would have gotten the exemption, lol. That's very cool of you to do for your students, shows that you're not out to squeeze every last dollar from people. IMHO, things like Honor, Integrity, and Loyalty are MUCH more valuable...

      Is the HQL still required to purchase handguns?

      Thank you for that. Some Vets may be really tight on funds, so I appreciate you giving them relief. Good on you for serving those who served. :patriot:

      Is the HQL still required to purchase handguns?

      I didn't meet my instructor for HQL until I showed up for the HQL class, so having an exemption for that didn't matter at that point, I already paid and was there. I was made aware of my CCW training exception during the HQL training class, although if I recall, I think I already knew about the...

      Is the HQL still required to purchase handguns?

      I'll have to check my records to see how much I paid, but at this point, I'm not gonna sweat this one. If I got double charged and paid for 2 sets if I only needed one, I'll chalk that up as a learning experience and I'll know better next time.
