How to Obtain a License To Carry a Concealed Firearm in Pennsylvania (Also Called a "Carry Permit" or "LTCF" or "Concealed Weapons Permit" and more colloquially)

If you are seeking to purchase a firearm in Pennsylvania there is no need to wait on getting a concealed firearms permit; The Concealed Firearms Permit, like the name says, is for State approval to carry a firearm on your person or in certain areas, concealed, outside your home. There are some exceptions and rules on how, where, when, and manner of carrying firearms in with a permit. Shot Tec, LLC is happy to help you navigate your education and training.
