DIVISION 10: SPECIAL ACT FOR FIREARMS ENFORCEMENT (SAFE) § 10756. Issuance of vendor’s license; time period; corrections. (a) Upon receipt of a properly executed application for a vendor's license, or renewal thereof, the Department of Public Safety, upon determining through further inquiry, investigation, or otherwise, that the applicant is entitled and qualified under the provisions of this Chapter thereto, shall issue a Firearm Vendor License. (b) Each vendor's license shall be in duplicate and bear a unique vendor's license number, and such other information as the Department determines, by regulation, is necessary to identify the applicant and premises. (c) The duplicate of the vendor's license shall be delivered to the applicant and the Department shall retain the original. (d) The Department of Public Safety shall approve or deny an application for a Firearm Vendor License within a 60-day period beginning on the date the Department receives the application, unless good cause is shown, including nonreceipt of information from sources outside the Commonwealth government. The Department may hold in abeyance an application where there is any firearms revocation proceeding pending against such person or organization. (e) Upon receipt of a vendor's license, each applicant shall examine the same to ensure that the information thereon is correct. If the vendor's license is incorrect in any respect, the person named thereon shall return the same to the Department of Public Safety with a signed statement showing the nature of the error. The Department shall correct the error, if it occurred through administrative error. In the event the error resulted from information contained in the application, the applicant shall be required to file an amended application explaining the error in the original application. (f) In the event the Department of Public Safety learns of an error in a vendor's license, other than as provided in this section, the Department may require the holder to return the vendor's license for correction. If the error resulted from information contained in the application, the person named therein shall be required to file an amended application as provided in subsection (e) of this section.
