Philadelphia Concealed Carry Permit Applications Up 600 Percent
The violent crime increase in Philadelphia has, no doubt, contributed to the surge in applications. And starting in 2021, the Philadelphia Police Department implemented a new application process. Previously, you had to complete part of the application in-person at the Gun Permit Unit on East Erie Avenue and get fingerprinted. But in January 2021, police removed the fingerprinting requirement (no other counties in Pennsylvania have one, according to Reilly) and moved the application process entirely online. Hassle free.
If we can get online applications and easier or removal of fingerprinting requirements in the more strict jurisdictions... I imagine those areas would yield similar results.
