On Saturday, December 6, 2025, the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office will be offering special Saturday hours for PA License to Carry a Firearm Permits. The event runs from 8:00am to Noon at the firearms office located in the courtyard of the Allegheny County Courthouse.
The event will be first-come, first-serve meaning that we will not be using an appointment process. It is important for all (new and renewal) applicants to have a valid PA ID or Driver’s License, a completed application, and $20.00 cash on hand. It is important that applicants bring a completed application to ensure efficiency in the process for all attending the event. Also, we will only be serving residents of Allegheny County.
These events are part of the commitment that Sheriff Kevin M. Kraus has to make it more convenient for folks who can't get to the courthouse during normal business hours.
In addition to issuing licenses, the Sheriff’s Office will also have a representative from our opioid reduction program, Project D.U.M.P., on-site to take expired and unused medications. However, we will not be accepting glass bottles, liquids, syringes, inhalers/insulin, or creams.
