Philadelphia Police Department: Gun Permit Unit

Anyone have any luck getting thru for appointment? The numbers are busy all day!

Like others, I was given my appointment to be August 2021!!!!nI have contacted local, state, feds, and NRA. It is essential for law abiding citizens to be able to protect themselves legally or your'e asking for a gun control disaster.

Took me a week or so of constant calling back in July when they reopened and I had to wait until today 10/20 for my appointment. But it was an easy in and out experience. I had all my required paperwork and the officers I encountered were very courteous. I was only in the building for 25 mins. Now I wait for the decision letter, not sure what the process is for picking up though, just hope it goes as smooth as today went.

I’m giving 2 stars because the website seems to be up to date with most accurate information. There is also a sign on the door. However, when in the world does anyone ever answer the phone. I have been call for 3 weeks straight. Morning and afternoon, absolutely no answer. Is there a way that request can be made over email? Can we atleast request a phone call! This has been a disappointing process so far.

Why aren’t you guys answering the phone? I’m new to this process, but so far I’ve had to call 4 days in a row and still haven’t been able to reach anyone over the phone. It seems as if the phone is intentionally being left unanswered, but that’s also the only way to book an appointment now so is there another way to get in touch??
