Courtesy Allegheny County Sheriff
In Pittsburgh there have been so many individuals making an attempt to get their hid carry permits that they’re backed as much as the tip of 2020. The Allegheny County Sheriff has determined to do one thing in regards to the backlog by providing drive-thru hid carry allow companies. This is a strong plan and one that would assist streamline issues in a whole lot of cities and states (so take notes, folks).
The Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office is ready to carry two extra drive-thru occasions what place folks can fill out paperwork for a ‘license to carry’ allow.
The first of those occasions can be held in North Fayette on August 15 from 8:00 AM to three:00 PM.

An appointment can be required for these occasions.
Appointments will be scheduled on the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office web site.

After the temperature examine and questionnaire, Sheriff’s Office personnel will then course of their paperwork.

This is my favourite a part of the Sheriff’s FAQ page:
Q: I used to be instructed that it takes weeks to acquire a license, is that this true?
A: Allegheny County transitioned to a one-step course of in late 2014. MOST candidates are out and in in about 5 minutes and go away the identical day with their license. However, in some circumstances, the PA Instant Check System (PICS) can return a standing of “RESEARCH”. This signifies that the state is researching one thing they usually have 45 days, by legislation, to return a standing of both “APPROVED” or “DENIED.” So, it’s potential (however unlikely) that you simply gained through a win’t get your license the identical day you apply.
It can be nice to see the allowing course of dealt with higher throughout the board. With all the COVID-19 drama occurring, the method has crawled to a standstill in lots of areas.
Why not do extra drive-thru functions nationwide? Wouldn’t or not it’s quicker (assuming folks do as they’re purported to and fill out the paperwork prematurely)?
Now if solely they gave away ammo like a prize to go along with your shiny new license….
