Has anyone recently gone through the pistol permit application process recently? How long is it taking right now from the date you hand in the application until the time you receive your permit?

my friend went in to pass a amendment 2 weeks ago asked the lady in the office, she said the times(for new applications, not amendments) are still very similar to when i got mine.

Thank you knuts. I can’t comprehend what takes them so long. I’ve gotten my DCJS background check myslef within 24 hours. What else other then maybe medical records can they be searching for? I remember when I originally got my permit 10 years ago it took just about 3 months. It’s crazy

Damn, back when I did mine it took almost 6 months from when I called until I had my fingerprinting appointment, and then it was a little over 6 months until I got my approval letter.

Do NOT handle the appeal yourself. Get an attorney.

Can you disclose why? And who was the judge?

Judge doesn't matter... Most of the time it's a recommendation from the detectives.

Just curious, although I'm sure it doesn't matter.

So I’ll give you guys the short if it. So I recieved a letter saying public safety recommended me for denial becuse of an arrest I had in 09 for possession and the judge (fufidio) asked for a sworn affidavit wich I did with my lawyer . The conviction was a misdameanor. I obtained a certificate of relief from disabilities that was specific to rifles shotguns pistols revolvers and handguns. I am waiting on the letter in the mail I just happen to call today to check on the status.

Can i still ask for a reversal or meeting with the judge after a denial?

If you want to move forward with it one way or the other, would recommend you lawyer up before doing anything additional.
Good luck and dont give up

Yes of course. I am in the process with Amy ballantoni who seems from the reviews and a referral that she may be the one who can get this fixed for me. We will see. Of course I am skeptical at this point however if I thought I was the person I was at the time of the convictions they are citing I would not be so eager to try and have the decision overturned.

From all I have read, Amy Bellantoni is one of the best 2nd amendment judges down in the lower part of the state.

I’ve read this also. I wish I would have used her for the affidavit. I am waiting on a response to an email I sent.
You are in good hands.

You don't say what happened to the permit you got 10 years ago?

Its entirely unacceptable that they do this. Iirc, NYS requires permits to be processed in 6 months. The loophole Wastechester uses is that they make you schedule an appointment before they accept your paperwork. This is an unfair trick to delay our rights. My appointment was a 6 month wait back in 2012.
