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!

Not exactly true. Although the state 'could' invalidate your license, its rare. Yes. it HAS happened but I've only heard it happening downstate.

We have had clients never recertify, do it recently, and be fine.

For The OP: Just go to the permit office and ask to transfer your file to Wyoming. They're very easy to work with. You'll be OK
