NJ Resident Getting a Concealed Carry Permit in PA

[CMJeepster 2,778]

I stand corrected.

 

I would like to know who the 32000 CCW holders are in NJ. That number cannot be correct.

Sweeney, Weinberg, Mainor...

[CMJeepster 2,778]

Nope. Not legal, even in Texas. :-)

[mipafox 438]

Pa had 990,000 end of 2013 (not sure why I rounded it). My calcs are 1,064,360 for 2014 for a carry rate of 12.9%.

 

Florida has TONS of non-resident permits issued, but it seems like they probably do have as many or slightly more than PA for their residents (Damn!). They do have a much larger population, though.

The instructor(Jason) said everything went well yesterday. "Junior" flew down to TX and got back to his flight in plenty of time. He is now a proud Texas CCW holder. Hopefully he will give an update.

Jason is 2 for 2 getting it done same day... Start booking those flights....

So you get approved and permit in hand same day? Seems more tempting now.

Not to my knowledge, you file online or mail it in and hopefully see it about sixty days later in your mailbox.

[carl_g 568]

That sucks. I got my PA LTCF in 15 minutes for 20 bucks.

[mipafox 438]

Yeah, well everybody in Jersey is pretty much F'd. And based on the history, there's almost no chance this is a coincidence.

[Jfoster99 80]

I got mine in about 10 days from when I flew down... ( I should of said "proud owner to be")

[bignic83 0]

It usually takes about two to three weeks for the CHL to ship. Should be about the same for Non Resident.

Yeah sorry, I've been busy as hell since I've been back from vacation. Trying to catch up on work...

 

But yea! Thanks for the referral! I actually flew into Phoenix on the 5th to visit my Father. On the return trip I "arranged" to have a 6 hour layover in Houston.

 

Jason Picked me up from the airport, took me to get finger printed, then to the range for my proficiency demonstration, then had classroom training and lunch at Pappas BBQ, then had me back to the airport with an hour to spare for my wife and I to throw down a few shots before the 4 hour flight home!

 

I can honestly say his training class was the best CCW/ Defensive training class I've been to. Super informative and he delivers the material really really well.

 

All I needed to do when I got home was upload the 2 Forms (CHL-100 and CHL-6) along with a copy of my license and a passport photo to the Texas CHL website. This was yesterday (6/15) so I'll keep you guys updated when I actually receive it.

[mipafox 438]

Sounds like a whirlwind layover. Shame you couldn't have stayed for a while but it is cool you didn't need to make an entirely dedicated trip to get it done.

 

Props to Jason, he sounds great. It sounds like he's not doing it for the money except to cover time and expenses with that sort of service.

[magnawing 5]

then had classroom training and lunch at Pappas BBQ,

Pappas BBQ is worth the trip...the entire Pappas family of restaurants is great. They have BBQ, Seafood and Tex-Mex places throughout Houston.

 

 

This signature is AWESOME!!!

[Carcano 14]

Well, I know 10 or so of the 32,000.

 

They are all business owners and many have a LE in the family, for what it's worth.

 

Corruption? possibly.

10?

With Kane tied up I hope we get a true conservative as the next AG in 2016/2017 and reverses this BS law. I prefer DE, NJ, MD residents coming over with their FL CCW. The more LEGAL concealed carriers the better.

 

BTW, is NH a viable option?

[mipafox 438]

NH requires license from your own state now to apply or renew.

[checko 180]

Looks like I'll be in the Dallas area next month. Might as well get the permit. Anyone know good places to eat in Dallas/plano?

The instructor I used is Jason Page, for $100 he will pick u up at the airport, take you for prints at TX authorized location, teach class, take to range for live fire and drop off back at airport in under 12 hours. Great for an extended Layover. He also has a steer ranch outside Houstin for an extended stay with open space to shoot all day ? Great for a weekend group trip. Bring the whole arsenal down or use his...he has lots of toys.. Not to mention you get a designated driver for a Saturday night excursion to the local watering hole? I think he said $200 would cover lodging transport and class ( 3-4 guy minimum) but check with him..."Junior" is flying down Monday for the same day in and out package. Hopefully he will report back his experience was as positive as mine.As for doing this on a Sunday it all depends if the finger print facility is open. That is the key with doing this... You need to reserve a finger print time at the location nearest the airport (Kennedy Street?) about 1 hour after you plane lands for this to all work out. The rest Jason will ensure to get done in time to get you back to make you flight..

Got my Texas CHL in the mail yesterday. Total was 16 business days from the time I submitted the paperwork.

 

Thanks again for the referral! Jason couldn't have made it any easier.

[Cecil Harvey 32]

Hmm... I will likely be taking a work trip to SXSW next march. I'll have to schedule this in.

[Junior 14]

From Big Thunder Firearms.

 

"While I personally won't open carry, the new "Open Carry" Law goes into effect Jan 01, 2016. What this means is that anyone WITH a CHL will have the choice to conceal or carry openly. Anyone with a CHL will be "grandfathered in" and will not have to undergo additional training. A new CHL applicants will have to go through additional "handgun retention"training, probably another 30 minutes added to the class."

 

Just an update for you guys thinking about getting your Texas CHL to carry in PA

[northernmoris 0]

This is from Utah.gov They have PA back on the list..... unless it was never removed. I was informed by someone today the changes were reversed. Any truth to this?

Thanks for that. I misread that. I did see Kathleen Kane was suspended from practice law. What's the chance they get her out and reverse her changes?

[T Bill 649]

Kane suspension kicks in 30 days.  So while she cannot/will not sign legal docs she still runs the office.  If she refuses to step down, the general assembly could impeach her but that would take a long time, or the Senate can remove her by a two thirds vote.  All uncharted territory.  So we will see what happens.  In the mean time don't go thinking any state agreement presently in force will change.  Nothing changes for PA residents and they are not really concerned about us.

[mipafox 438]

T Bill pretty much summed it up. I think she will be disbarred soon and will be out, but what I think does not matter, and that simple change doesn't really help us Jersey guys at this point.

[Trunk 4]

Does the fingerprinting have to take place in Texas or is it possible to go to any IdentoGO location? I'm going to be in Houston and think I can squeeze in an evening class but the nearest fingerprinting place is booked solid for days.

[HBecwithFn7 296]

Yes, with a ccw permit that PA honored. I make it simple, I stay out of Philthy. Other than cheese steaks from Pats or Gino's, a pouring of Pliny the Elder from Monk's tavern what else is actually in that city worth going there for?

 

There's also "DiNic's" in the Reading Terminal Market...   

[Trunk 4]

I spoke with IndentoGO again and asked to see if there are any available appointments when I'm in Houston. The representative asked why I wanted to do anything in Texas if I'm from New Jersey. She was completely unhelpful and insisted - unlike the representative this morning - that I had to pay the $140 to Texas DPS before she could look up availability.

 

She refused to help even after I explained that the representative this morning was able to tell me that information. I have a feeling that she was from a NJ, NY, or CA call center.
