Adams County.

I received the following e-mail message on August 20, 1998:
=============================================================================
Adams County will issue, and a visit is required.  They did not specifically
state a license from one's home state is required, but I did tell them in my
letter that I had one.  [Marylanders who frequent Pennsylvania may want to
check into it further.]  Other counties have generally requested a copy of
one's home state permit with an application.  Here's the letter I received.

"In response to your letter regarding licenses to carry firearms.  The
licenses to carry are now photo ID and the approval process now goes through
the PIC (Pennsylvania Instant Check) system.  An application needs to be
filled out and we then make a call to the state and they approve or deny it.
This process can take up to five (5) days.  Once approved you must come in
and have your picture take and your license can then be issued to you.  The
cost is $25.00 each.  At this time our computer system is being updated for
the new license to carry layout.  It will not be up and running until at
least August 25, 1998.  If you fill out and return the enclosed applications
about 30 days before you will be in the Gettysburg area, I can do the
approval process and have everything ready for your photo when you get here.

Thank you for you interest in our licenses to carry."

I just called Adams County Sheriff (County Court House 111 Baltimore Street
Gettysburg, PA 17325(717) 337-9828) and they said you walk in, fill out the
application, they do an instant check, take your picture and you walk out with
your picture ID CCW.

Back in July, I walked into the Adams County Sheriffs Office in Gettysburg,
PA.  Filled out the application, gave them $25, then they made copies of my
Texas CHL and Texas DL.  They took my photo with a digital camera, and one
hour from the time I walked in I had myself a 5 year license good for the
entire state of PA.  Issuing requirements vary from county to county, but
for a non-resident permit, anyone with business in the state should get one.

I called Adams County and they were helpful to the point it seemed
that they were glad to issue me one.
