Pa Pistol License - Sportsman?

[LyleLukas11]

I have a Sportsman License in NY. Can I get a carry permit in PA? I will be in scranton and I read somewhere a few people have gone there to get their license. I know about the other one thats about 2 more hours west but do I need a full carry in NY to get it in PA??

As per state law you need an unrestricted license (aka equivalent to PA LTCFA) in your home state.

That being said some, not sure what ones, PA counties have been known to break state law (this case in a positive way) and issue to those with restricted licenses here in NY.

But then again it could be argued that the "restricted" licenses are not found in NY penal law and dont actually exist but are something judges just decided they could do and have been allowed to get away with and the restrictions actually dont hold any weight, those counties arent actually breaking state law.
