Mercer County.

From Ken Grubb (Miami, Florida), September 28, 1998:
============================================================================
Mercer County sent out an application and instruction sheet.  The cost is
$19 and the permit is valid for 5 years.  The application can be mailed, but
one must appear in person to be interviewed by the Sheriff.  The applicant
will either be approved or denied at the interview.  Sounds a bit ominous
and potentially discretionary.

Sheriff of Mercer County
205 South Erie Street, Room 102
Mercer, PA  16137
(724) 662-3800 ext 2267, 2268, 2295
============================================================================

From an anonymous reader, March 3, 1999:
============================================================================
...I was able to get a PA CCW license in Mercer County.  The interview is
more of a review of PA CCW laws.  I think that is a good idea.  People need
to know the laws before they carry. I am still unable to find a copy of
PA CCW laws in writing.

I am a resident of Ohio and found the Mercer County Sheriff's department
friendly and cooperative.
