In Philadelphia you apply to the Chief of Police and not the Sheriff.
The Philadelphia Police Department maintains a gun permit homepage
at
http://www.ppdonline.org/ppd_gunpermit.htm. It states that:
"Out of State applications will only be considered if the applicant
currently has a similar License from their home state."
