Thought I would give my experience with Berks County on Friday (5/31).
Well I called and talked to the Deputy Sheriff, to make sure I had everything in order. He asked if I had my Delaware CCW permit. He also asked if I frequent Berks County, I stated yes. I then asked why it mattered, he stated that persons should apply in the county they spend the most time in. I then asked about parking at the Reading sheriff's office. He told me that it would be best to go to the Reading Airport Substation (Parking is free).
Address is:
2501 Bernville Rd.
Reading, Pa 19601
The hours for Reading airport substation are 10:00-6:00 (M-F).
I arrived at about 11:00 after having some difficulty with my GPS directions (sent me to an industrial park). I went in and gave him my application, a copy of my Delaware CCW permit, $20, and my drivers license. He told me it might take a few minutes since I'm not a resident. About 5 minutes later he called my name, he told me that his system had trouble connecting with Delaware (that is how my luck goes). He told me it could take a few hours, then told me that he didn't want to hold me up and everything looked to be in order. So, he took my picture and I signed my name, he then said he would mail my permit to my house.
I will let you fine folks know when it arrives...
