Permit law changes could cost county
Anne Danahy
When someone asks Ken Hanson with the Buckeye Firearms Association where to go for a Pennsylvania firearms license, he points them to the Centre County Sheriff’s Office.
“I know from experience that Centre County has a professional operation and gets the license turned around,” said Hanson, legislative chairman of the Ohio group.
The reputation draws thousands of out-of-state applications for licenses to carry concealed firearms into Centre County each year — and thousands of dollars in revenue for the county.
>But that money will likely dry up in 2011 when a state law aimed at standardizing and modernizing Pennsylvania’s licensing takes effect.
According to the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, <u>one change will be that gun owners applying for Pennsylvania licenses to carry will have to appear in person to have a photo license created and sign for it.</u>
The commission is implementing the system, under the 2005 law, with state police and the Pennsylvania Sheriffs’ Association.
