According to Firearm Chronicles
All throughout the nation, there’s a problem. State and local governments in many places haven’t figured out how to balance concerns over COVID-19 with people’s need to get concealed carry permits so as to allow them to exercise their Second Amendment rights. While many debate whether the concern over the coronavirus is warranted, the truth is that people have that concern and you’re not going to argue it away.
What we need to consider, though, is the cost of that concern. Namely, people’s need for their carry permits.
While Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf has made his anti-gun biases quite clear, even he recognizes that a problem exists and has made at least one step to address it.
Governor Wolf has granted a fifth extension to license to carry firearm permits.
The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) announced today that Governor Tom Wolf has granted an additional extension to permits expiring on March 19, 2020 or later.
They are now valid through March 31, 2021. The previous extension was set to expire on December 31.
Honestly, this is probably the very best we could hope for at this time, and for those who had permits expiring during that period, it’s definitely good news. I mean, they get a year’s extension on their permits in some cases. Not too shabby.
