Have you ever been convicted of an offense under the Pennsylvania Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act CSDDCA)? (Any Pennsylvania drug conviction under the CSDDCA is prohibiting for a license to carry.)

Have you ever received a dishonorable discharge from the United States armed forces?

YES! I would like to make a donation to support the Sheriffs across Pennsylvania by donating to the Pennsylvania Sheriffs’ Association.

Your generosity will help us to continue our mission to preserve and protect the time-honored Office of Sheriff in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. You will receive email updates from the Pennsylvania Sheriff's Association on important gun law changes on both state and federal levels that affect you.

Through your donation, we will be able to continue to provide our Sheriffs with important training, influence legislation on both the federal and state levels that could impact our communities and monitor and update our Sheriffs on the ever changing firearm laws and oppose or support as warranted.

PLEASE NOTE: The license (if approved) will be issued regardless of any donation to PSA and that any such donation is purely voluntary.
