Question about PA permits

[SigLady]

Hi, guys.

My husband and I will be driving through Scranton next week and thought to stop by and get our PA carry licenses. For those of you who have gone through the process in Scranton... where do we go and what do we need to bring with us?

Thanks in advance!

Lackawanna Co. Sheriff's office in middle of the city.

Your unrestricted NY permits and $20/ea.

Money for the meter.

Thanks, Darth! No references needed?

I think you might need to know some phone numbers for the app, but I just picked 2/3 random people. They don't check.

Thank you

You will need contact information for 4 references along with you $20 and money for the meter. Plus you NYS unrestricted PP, about 30 minutes of your time, just don't go during lunch.

Warren Co only wanted 2 references. I just used two of my NYS references without even telling yhem I was using them again. Neither were called.
Like mentioned, id bring 4 references because obviously counties vary.

I miss the days where you could just mail in the application

I believe Scranton Sheriff's office asks for 2 references with name, address, phone. Short application to fill out is there in the office. Bring some quarters for the meter outside. X-ray machine on entering building. They close at 3:30pm so don't arrive too close to that time. Should take you 20 minutes. They also accept visa/MasterCard as well as cash.

You guys are awesome. Thanks again.

It was such a pleasure too. 20mins/20$ happy 2A building, joking and laughing about Obama and Hillary as I waited for the printing machine to spit out my "right" permission slip. Then we enter back into the land of 15months and you may or may not get "permission"..so sad..or worse...these other Counties that you wait Months after you bought something to receive it(thank god not in Putnam, our turnaround time for adding has usually been a week, for me at least, and even that is bullshit)

That's a bummer. Adding time in jefferson county is about 20 minutes if they're not busy. Usually i buy my gun and take it home on the same day. I guess we're lucky up here.
