Match10 said:Better hurry if you need one, the law changes to "in person" after the new year.
Does anyone know if this has changed? Is it January 1st or May 1st?GAGunOwner said:Called Centre County. They say that the cut-off is May, 2011. After that you've got to physically apply in PA.
I asked what is the earliest that you can apply. The lady implied that it didn't matter.
She said that they'll get you your LTCF in about (2) two weeks.
All they want is a photocopy of your GWL (GFL), and a copy of your driver's license. I think they would take any other photo ID in place of the driver's license. The wife and I sent for ours last week. The application is extremely simple.freeman101 said:Is it necessary to send a photo of yourself on the application?
I got mine back in a lil bit less than a month. If you have your tracking # on yer app, you can check it via the automated system.rmodel65 said:now im just waiting for my florida ccw to arrive
what states do you have? all i got is GA and FL which for me is good enough...:-DMatch10 said:I was actually up In McKean County last week and could have gooten it in person.
I think this is my sixth non-resident permit....
just curious "as I'm obviously new here", what would be the benefit of getting a state's license (like FL), if the GWCL is valid there?rabbivj said:what states do you have? all i got is GA and FL which for me is good enough...:-DMatch10 said:I was actually up In McKean County last week and could have gooten it in person.

http://www.handgunlaw.us go to this site and check the number of states who recognize Florida vs Georgia. I think you see the advantage for someone who travels or has reason to spend time in a state that doesn't recognize the GWL.Howerpower said:just curious "as I'm obviously new here", what would be the benefit of getting a state's license (like FL), if the GWCL is valid there?rabbivj said:what states do you have? all i got is GA and FL which for me is good enough...:-DMatch10 said:I was actually up In McKean County last week and could have gooten it in person.

1) Reciprocity with more states. For example, even though FL will honor your GWL, there are some states out there that will honor a FL license, but not the GWL. With a FL license, you can legally carry in more states.Howerpower said:just curious "as I'm obviously new here", what would be the benefit of getting a state's license (like FL), if the GWCL is valid there?

2) You will be exempt from the federal gun-free school-zone law while in a state that you have a license from.
3) LE will likely be more familiar with a license issued by their own state.
4) IF your GWL were suspended/revoked your license from another state, under some circumstances, MIGHT remain valid so you could carry in some states when you leave Georgia.
5) To me, it never hurts to have layers of paperwork.
