Here is the law in PA concerning non resident permits. Perhaps you have missed some small point in the application.
Non-Resident Permits
It is simple to get a PA Non-Resident Permit/License. Starting 3/31/11 PA will no longer issue by mail. You have to make a trip to PA to apply. If they do not issue it to you in your short visit they will mail you the permit/license when it is approved.
Completed and Signed Application must be accompanied by the following:
1. A photo copy of a license to carry a firearm (concealed carry permit) from your home state if that
state has a concealed carry law. If from IL you should bring your FOID Card.
2. A photo copy of your Driver's License.
3. Names, Addresses and Phone #’s of 2 references.
4. $20.00 to $24.00 fee for five year license and out of state processing. Note: You have to have a permit from your home state if your home state issue permits. Unless you are from Illinois, DC or Vermont you have to have a permit from your home state. If your state is too restrictive and won’t issue you a permit you can not obtain a Non-Resident Pennsylvania Permit/License. Some Sheriff’s will not issue to non residents and/or have other stipulations to issue to non-residents. Check with the Sheriff’s Dept before you appear to apply.

It's there any cause that makes non resident ccp's a may issue?
I only ask because for instance, I'm a Washington resident. When I was an Oregon resident, the Oregon chl is a shall issue, but now since I'm out of state it is a may issue for me (must have a written reason to carry into Oregon ie: job, second home, etc, take all the required training, and its still at the sheriff's discretion). I also have a slightly different application process. I opted to just open carry on Oregon when I found this out.

In PA there is no difference between resident and non. The process is exactly the same...the permit is exactly the same...the rules are exactly the same.
I beleive it's a game you file for your non resident permit the first time and they decline it. hope fully questioning the shall issue will get satisfaction and they will issue it.When I talked to the officers that took my app. he said it looks good,took my money,picture and asked me a few questions about my home in Pa. and how much time I spent there.He said I would see my permit in the mail to my CT address in a few weeks. I'll stand my ground and see what happens. thanks for your Info
