Well, you sure can. I just checked.

I toyed with it because it would fix my W. VA problem where we have relatives. I may do that yet.

Re: Luzerne County Pennsylvania - 1 in 9 Conceal Carry
I lived in PA and had a CHL there before I moved to Texas.
The fee's vary for each county, as it is up to the Sheriff of that county to issue the licenses. The only exception is Philadelpiha, in which it's the police chief's responsibility.
It cost me $22 for mine, and that was for a 4 year license I belive. This was in Venango County, PA. The process at the time (2002) was to go to the Sheriff's office, fill out an application. They then took your picture on the spot and collected the $22. Then you wait to speak with the Chief Deputy who interviews you and asks basic questions such as why do you want this, etc. Your application then gets assigned to a deputy who goes out and interviews people where you work and your neighbors. After that and a FBI background, your license gets issued.
The process may be different now, but again, it's not standardized, it's up to each Sheriff what to charge and how to do the background checks.
I was floored when I found out how much it cost down here in Texas and what all you had to go through to get it. It cost me $22. There was no class of any kind and no trip to a gun range to qualify.
