pistol permit

[Red]

i took the pistol permit course a while back and tonite im filling out the form and gonna do my references tomorrow i was wondering if anyone has done their pistol permit in erie county in the past year or 2 and if so how long did it take from the time you handed in the application to the time you got your permit if you got it. thanks guys

I've had mine for 38 yrs in Erie county but a couple people I know got theirs in a little less than 6 months recently. Good luck with it.

thanks gizmo thats what ive heard from a friend and a couple other people that its been taking about 6 months i cant wait i hope i have it for next hunting season.

I'd be darned surprised if it took 6 months. One friend got his about a year ago and it took over a year. Another friend & his wife are in the process right now. I'm not sure how long it has been.

28 years for me as a permit holder in Erie County. Took me 8 LONG months back then!!

Trying to get mine too... saving up for the application fee for my husband and I has been an undertaking. I'm in Cattaraugus county.

[HectorBuckBuster]

Well I am not in Erie County but Schuyler County. I will see how long it takes. I turned in my paper work on Jan10th and did my finger prints on the 11th. I also had one of my references tell me they received the paper work and sent it back already.

Watch these counties Red. Monroe did something similiar and it ended up meaning there were just multiple fees. Finger printing....filing...background checks...pictures.

I filed mine in Monroe County last May 5th and they said 9 -12 months. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived mid September. I think the total fee was around $130

thats exactly what i was thinking its a good way to make it look cheaper at first. $20 for the application fee $10 for pics then filing fees and finger printing it will probably end up being similar to your $130. im not sure yet if im gonna file for hunting and concealed when i had it in tomorrow or thursday or if im gonna file for hunting and target first then after i get the permit file for concealed.

I said the hell with it and went for the full boat. It came through. I dont' know how bad you county is but If it were me I would go for it. I listed hunting, target and personal protection. I figured let them knock it back to restricted if they wnted but If I didn't ask I wouldn't get it.

Never would have gotten the full boat in Nassau County.

Not to hijack the thread but Monroe County has an odd rule. If you WORK in Monroe county you can apply for a permit here. You don't even have to live here but the references known for 3 years must live here. If some of you guys work here but live in bad areas for permits it might be something to consider.

thats exactly how i was thinking about it. then yesterday i went to a couple local police station and got 2 dispositions from when i was younger one was from 12 yrs ago when i was 18 young a being dumb nothing serious then the other was from 6 years ago a bar brawl that i didnt have anything to do with but when the cops come and some one says a red head started it a 6'1 tatted up red head me is pulled by the police but thats over with lol im hoping that doesnt hinder me from getting a concealed. since that altercation ive gone to school and got a criminal justice degree and am pursuing becomming a police office im hoping this all helps weight out the crap when i was young.

Good forum and the permit threads and maps are helpful.

Red. there are guys on that forum form Erie that took 21 weeks and others are still waiting after 11 months.

[Culvercreek hunt club]

good luck I hope it works out for you

[Red]

thank you culver a couple hrs ago i was googling trying find something like this. i know what ill be reading right now while the kids are watching mickey mouse

[loworange88]

It took me about 6 months here in Onandaga Cty. I think it was just about $130 when it was done, but I did end up paying like 3 or 4 different fees when it was all said and done.

[Red]

how many of you have applied for both hunting and concealed at the same time and received both?

[HectorBuckBuster]

Fee's in Schuyler County where $10 for application $10 picture and $105 to get my finger prints done.

I am a retired NYPD Detective now living in Greene County. Under HR 218 I can carry concealed in every state. Yet when I applied for a concealed carry permit in Greene County I was told it could take up to 8 months. Curious isn't?
