Dutchess County Permit wait time?

I'm in Ulster. Have many friends in Dutchess. One was told by a sheriff they aren't issuing anything. Just timing out the applications. Ulster is pretty similar, anyone who had a grandfathered permit in the system was forced to pull that permit app 'voluntarily' and submit to the CCIA changes. Not many licenses issued here since CCIA. Have a friend who is a female EMT/security/fire in Ulster who is over 16 months now. All calls to licensing official say app is good and in queue. NYSP doesn't check criminals Facebook accounts...

NY v Bruen was supposed to have stopped this BS

.....ohhhhh wait, never mind

I call bullshit. Permits are being issued in Dutchess. Two people I know, showed me their permits (and subsequent ammendments for handguns and Semi long guns) this weekend. I was a reference.

These people started well after the CCIA took effect. From the time I told them about the new FUKH bullshit it took less than 6 months from the time they started thinking about it, filling out applications, taking a 16 hour course, submitting applications, and getting permits in mail. They've had their permits maybe two to three months now.

How long are permits taking to get issued? I’m over 8 months so far and haven’t heard anything.

We're you fingerprinted?

I did a quick check (with some Dutchess club members about new members, an FFL for new ammendment seekers, and a few new permit holders I helped) and the consensus is the Dutchess office is slammed with applications, heard a new judge is signing too, and it seems it's taking 6 to 9 months with a few people quicker and a few longer. This is also the conclusion on other internet chatter.

Yeah I was fingerprinted in April. The officer said they were running about 6 months. So I’m creeping up in 9 months now. I did hear that about the judge that she lets them pile up. I know amendments are taking a very long time.

Yeah, hearing she does not work at the same pace Eddie or even Judge Brown when he was loaned to Dutchess worked, but my understanding is her approval rate is the same (e.g. she is not looking for excuse to stall or deny). I also heard that there are recent weeks when applications or ammendments spike. Let us know when you get your new permit.

I really miss Butch.

Might be atty time??

Have you tried calling them. A year wait is beyond unreasonable.

Mine took I think over 6 months, but less than I year if I recall. But this was a while ago, over 10 years ago I think.

There should be a criminal prosecution of authorities who let the rights of others wait this long. This is a denial of a right. Anything over a month should be considered a criminal denial of rights.
