Pennsylvania law requires the Sheriff of Carbon County to process all applications to obtain a License To Carry Firearms (LTCF). The license permits you to carry a firearm concealed.
Licenses are issued to only CARBON COUNTY residents who must reside within the county and who qualify, based on a background investigation done by the Pennsylvania State Police through the Pennsylvania Instant Check System (PICS). All applicants are required to have a valid Pennsylvania driver's license or Photo ID in order to process the application.
If you wish to apply for a LTCF please complete the form attached below, but DO NOT sign it, and schedule an appointment with the Sheriff's Office by calling 570-325-2821.
Your photo will be taken and a fee of $20.00 is required and can be paid by cash, check, money order or credit card payment. When issued the license is valid for 5 years. The Sheriff has 45 days to approve the license; however we make all attempts to issue the license during your visit. The Sheriff also has the ability to revoke the license at any time for violations listed under Title 18 Pa CS 6105(a)(1), 6105(b), 6105(c) and 6105(a.1)(2).
APPLICATIONS CANNOT BE PROCESSED BY MAIL, THE APPLICATION MUST BE BROUGHT INTO THE OFFICE BY THE APPLICANT.
