I applied for my PA. permit on 3/1. Today, the 17th, I got a letter from my local PD stating they are offering a free firearms class for all residents applying to carry, including Pa. Uniform Firearms Act, when deadly force may be used, civil liability, and my responsibilities as the owner of firearms. I know when I dropped the app off- they (Sheriffs Office) are having RECORD amounts of applications since the election of Nobama!
