Washington County. Comment from a person who wanted to remain anonymous who attempted to get a permit in late 1995: "Clerk said they will give to non-residents only if you work in county or own property in Washington County." From a posting to rec.guns on Tuesday, May 13, 1997: "I just checked in Greene, Beaver, and Washington counties (SW PA) and none of them issue to non-residents." From Ken Grubb (Miami, Florida) on September 9, 1998: ============================================================================== Washington County sent me a letter, and they do not issue to out of state residents. Office of the Sheriff 100 West Beau Street Washington, PA 15301 ============================================================================== From an anonymous reader on October 6, 1998: ============================================================================== "...I have a permit from the state of Delaware and do business in PA. "I tried [ Office of the Sheriff 100 West Beau Street Washington, PA 15301 ] and received a 'no' to non-resident. My Lawyer had recently obtained one from there and recommended that I try." ============================================================================== An anonymous reader on October 17, 1999 informed me that the correct phone number for the Washington County Sheriff's Office is 724-228-6840. Please do not call the old number since that belongs to a private residence. From an anonymous reader on December 31, 1999: ============================================================================== I tried to get an non resident permit from Washington County yesterday (12/30/99) from the Sheriff's office there, and was told that the Sheriff there has opted not to issue out of state permits, saying it is "too hard" to keep up with the background checks on non residents. ==============================================================================
