The agreement also means each state will provide verification of the authenticity and status of its licenses to the other states.The Pennsylvania Sheriffs' Association has long supported the agreement. Lackawanna County Sheriff John Szymanski said his office gets many calls from residents asking how to legally transport their handguns in Florida and while en route."A lot of people have winter homes in Florida," he said.No reciprocity agreement exists between Pennsylvania and other states, however, so firearms must still remain out of reach and unloaded while permit-holders are driving to Florida or Kentucky, Szymanski said. http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/apnews/stories/111301/D7FOJTFG1.html
