yeah, that's the thing about the kel-tec. I don't really go to many places I would need a bigger gun, although I have a .357 Mag in the truck, but to carry, the .380 is in my front pocket most of the time, and you'd never know it!
120 days is ridiculous! What could possibly take that long to check? If I can get all your personal info. off the computer in 1 afternoon, how come the gov. can't?

Nice gun you purchased by the way, I like the look of them. Although I prefer to carry a .40 (Sig P226), it looks as though you are accurate enough with the 9 to eliminate a threat efficiently and quickly.
Be safe out there!

Aricle I, Section 32 of the State of Indiana says the right to bear arms for "the defense of state and the person" is protected. I don't believe I should have to go through the hassle of applying for a permit to carry a handgun (in Indiana, it doesn't have to be concealed). LOL - Indiana laws say I can carry a loaded shotgun in my vehicle w/ out a permit, except during hunting season!
I've considered adding one of the new Keltec 9mm to the collection - it's the same size as the .380 and .32 - but I my Tauras PT-111 (compact 9mm), Taurus 617 (snubby .357), or S&W 457 (compact .45) are easily enough concealed for now...

"The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned."
- Pennsylvania Constitution, Section 21
But in this state you can open carry without a permit (except in Philly you need the CCW to open carry)
All states should be like Alaska and Vermont. no permit for concealed carry.
i cant complain too much though, PA has some of the best gun laws of any state.

Personal responsibility is what should be used. if you decide to carry then YOU should learn how to use your weapon. but if a little old lady wants to carry a .38 snub then she shouldn't be disallowed because she cant get the score. now if she accidentally shoots someone then she should be held accountable.
In Georgia, I went to down to the probate court, filled out the paperwork, got fingerprinted and paid the fees, and two months later I had a carry permit.

Does your county have the ID cards or just the slip of paper? Warren County still has the notarized slip of paper. One of my friends lives in Beaver County and they have the picture ID card. I agree, PA is CCW friendly (mostly).
