Luzerne Country Sheriff’s Office Not Notifying Gun Owners About Expiration of Permits

Could this be a set up to go after gun owners for letting their permits lapse? While we agree that it is the responsibility of every gun owner to keep track of the expiration dates of their respective gun permits, just as everyone needs to keep track of expiration dates for driver’s licenses and passports, the news from CitizensVoice is a concern:

“The Luzerne County Sheriff’s Office has not been complying with a state mandate to notify gun owners when a license to carry a concealed weapon is about to expire, according to two state legislators. State Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston, and state Rep. Ed Staback, D-Archbald, sent a letter dated March 29 to Acting Sheriff Charles Guarnieri about the compliance failure. Staback, chairman of the House Game and Fisheries Committee, said Guarnieri is required to send renewal forms to license holders 60 days before a license expires.”

We are happy to see that two Democrats are also upset about this, and regardless of party lines this isn’t an issue that should be taken lightly.

And to everyone, if you are required to have a permit for your guns, check to make sure you’re not coming due or worse that it is already expired!
