Hi there, I got my License to Carry Firearm (LTCF) in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and it expires next year, in 2027.
I’ve moved away from PA and now live in Indiana; I am a legal resident and have an Indiana permit to carry.
My question: Can I still use my PA LTCF permit when in PA? I do not have time to apply for an out-of-state permit. My old PA license has my old address on it. Thanks.
If your state of residence is no longer Pennsylvania, the PA LTC is no longer valid. You would need a CC license/permit in your current state, then you can apply for a non-res in PA, though you don’t need it for your current as you would have reciprocity.
Reciprocity of Indiana’s Carry License in Pennsylvania
Recognition of Indiana’s License
Pennsylvania recognizes Indiana’s concealed carry license for residents of Indiana who are 21 years of age or older. This means that if you hold a valid concealed carry permit from Indiana, you can carry a concealed firearm in Pennsylvania without needing to apply for a separate permit.
Important Considerations
Age Requirement: You must be at least 21 years old to carry a concealed firearm in Pennsylvania with an Indiana license.
Local Laws: Always check local laws and regulations in Pennsylvania, as they may have specific restrictions on where firearms can be carried.
Reciprocity Changes: Reciprocity agreements can change, so it’s advisable to verify the current status before traveling.
This recognition allows for smoother travel and firearm carrying for Indiana residents visiting Pennsylvania.
