Some Luzerne County gun permit holders will receive small refund :: 06/01/2011
WILKES-BARRE - Luzerne County Sheriff John Gilligan has approved refunds to residents who paid $31 for a permit to carry a concealed gun after the fee dropped to $20 on May 10.
Gilligan reduced the cost of the permit after learning the office was overcharging by $6 and can no longer impose a $5 surcharge to fund a statewide initiative on license technology. Payment to apply for the gun permit is made by certified check or money order.
The state has implemented uniform standards on issuing gun permit licenses. Gilligan said he changed the permit fee after receiving an email from the Pennsylvania Sheriffs' Association, informing him the fee should be $20.
