I am a NY resident with a NY permit to carry and am applying for my PA permit. My question is what boxes should I check in the reason to carry box. I am told not to check self-defense. Anyone got some advice and is there really a difference?

I just got off the phone with the CC PA sheriff's office. It is perfectly ok to shrink down the license to 60% and laminate it. This is what they do for resident licenses.
Cheers

Interesting. Chester County's Sheriff's page says the following:
License to carry a firearm will be issued to Chester County residents only, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF: out of state sworn police officers with proper identification.

Is that legal?
(b) Place of application.--An individual who is 21 years of age or older may apply to a sheriff for a license to carry a firearm concealed on or about his person or in a vehicle within this Commonwealth. If the applicant is a resident of this Commonwealth, he shall make application with the sheriff of the county in which he resides or, if a resident of a city of the first class, with the chief of police of that city.
...
(ix) A resident of another state who does not possess a current license or permit or similar document to carry a firearm issued by that state if a license is provided for by the laws of that state, as published annually in the Federal Register by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms of the Department of the Treasury under 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(19) (relating to definitions).
I was in Lancaster today. I went to the Sheriff's office and had my permit in twenty minutes. Came on a plastic card.
What did they charge you for that?
FYI. Based on what I read in these forums i applied for an out of state PA (Center Country) license. I just received the license. It took 10 calendar days from when I mailed it to when I received it (including the Christmas holiday!). Total cost was $26 plus self addressed stamped envelope.
Sorry to hear you had to wait so long and still be overcharged $1.
Berks county last year charged me $25 and I had to wait almost 15 minutes (there were two people in line in front of me) and they didn't have a waiting room, gun magazines or free coffee!
