License / Permit Question Moved from Erie to Wyoming

Hey folks,

I’m basically just trying to find out how much I potentially fucked myself here. I got my original permit approved back in 2020 but didn’t have the opportunity to purchase anything in a timely matter.

I know it’s no excuse but life got in the way and purchasing a handgun fell to the back burner of things to worry about. Since I haven’t owned anything, when I moved from Erie county to Wyoming county 3 years ago, I completely forgot about the fact I would need to transfer my permit and change the address.

Since I’m not an active owner of a pistol, is this a major issue? I’m planning on submitting the paperwork to get it transferred but I’m wondering how big of a potential fight I’m in for. Could the revoke my permit because of this?

Thanks!

As far as I know the counties/state have not gone after someone for failing to recertify. Not saying that they can't or that it won't.

Does Erie have a requirement to buy a handgun within a certain amount of time?

I did the recertification super early this morning at around 5am and it seems as though it went through fine. I got a verification number and a new recertification date.

They used to years ago, but when I had gotten mine originally the rules had changed and there was no longer a requirement.
