Well I drove up there (Reading airport) and arrived at 10:00. Their system was down and they couldn’t process any of our renewals. Apparently the system was down statewide.

I’m going to try to renew again Monday. I’m going to wait and drive up after I check if the system is back up.

The system was back up at 1300.  I was in there at 1500.  Took grand total of 5 minutes.
Then onward to Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation to train adults to become shooting
sports directors for their local councils.  GREAT WEEK!

I went back up Monday. The deputy apologized for the inconvenience and said the guy on Friday should have taken my info and processed it when the system was back up, then he should have mailed it to me.

I was 10 minutes from walking in to walking out.

UPDATE AS OF 6/20/18

This is on the sheriff's web site
"An applicant for a license to carry permit must be at least 21 years of age and reside in Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania, or currently posses a valid permit in their state of residency. Proof of age and residency must
be furnished when the application is submitted."

So I called 717 299-8000.  After pressing (I THINK) 4 3 4 to speak to a person in the firearms unit,
I was told they DO NOT issue NR LTCF.  I could  check some other county.


Berks Co. is still the place to go for 1 stop shopping.  Media for 2 stops.

So is it easier to go to the Reading Courthouse or to the Airport? I'm probably going to go this Friday or next.

Easier at airports but check website for Berks Sheriff as one week a month the airport is not available (they go to other locations).  Also they break for lunch hour 1 to 2 at all locations.

Sorry for being lost, but for the sake of "lower , slower downstaters" who rarely go to PA., exactly what airport are you talking about?

Thanks, but I'm still leaning towards a VA. Permit. Can get one here on Delmarva, and covers a range of states more practical for my needs.

Yup. I've aware of that 3rd week of the month stuff & the lunch breaks  :)  . Thanks for your opinion, Clarence. I'll try to hit the Reading Airport substation when I go. I think most people say they go there. I guess the parking is easier and free?

Call first to make sure PICS is up.  I went to the Reading Airport on my way to Hawn Mountain for NCS.  In/out in 5 minutes.
Was there around 3:00.  Said PICS just came up at 1:30.  Yes, LOTS of free easy parking.

That would be a NO on Lancaster Sheriff's office.
