Anyone know the process of transfering a Nassau (NY) permit to Sullivan?

[Markf]

I'm new to this board, I was referred here by some friends on LIGC.

Curious if anyone knows the details on how to transfer my existing Nassau County permit to Sullivan. Just closed on a house in Sullivan, already changed my Driver's license and voter's registration.

I called the county clerk and he said I have to wait six month and then apply as a new applicant. That just doesnt sound right.

Anyone have any personal experience or knowledge?

I saw the responses in your other thread and agree you should go to the clerk's office and speak to them. I believe the information you got over the phone was for applying for a new permit.

I don't know the process for Sullivan county today, but I sure hope its not like Rensselaer county in 2013 when I moved from Suffolk county.
Got my permit in Rensselaer county in 1977; needed 3 references, which could be relatives; fingerprints and safety class and done. I was 20.
Fast forward to 1994, I moved to Suffolk county. Pretty straightforward process; Schlep out to Riverhead with guns so officer can record
serial numbers, fingerprints again, a fee and done. Fast forward to 2009, back in Rensselaer county. Go to pistol clerk (Joyce Sullivan I believe) and she said to keep my Suffolk permit and they'll mail paperwork a few months before it expires (2013) I get the forms and its a new permit application.
Go back to see Joyce and explain to her I had permits in two NY counties for 36 years! She found my Rensselaer records in her files. She calls a contact from State Police and explains the situation. Oh well, too bad. Gotta do it again! Forgot if I needed 3 or 4 references, but they couldn't be a relative, had to be local and known for over 5 years. Finger printed, again and had to take the safety course, again. 32 years of shooting handguns, reloading for handguns and hunting with handguns and still had to go through this BS.
I HATE NEW YORK

So, don't be surprised if you have to go through the whole thing again.

Updating this thread. Finally dropped off my application today for Sullivan. There is no transfer from Nassau, I had to start from scratch.

However, they will automatically list the pistols on my Nassau license on the Sullivan License. Estimated time from submission to completion is 4-6 months. On the positive side the application only cost me $20 in total to submit, plus $100 fingerprint fee at Identigo.

I don't understand how counties in this state can just pick and choose what parts of the penal law they want to comply with.

I dont consider it a "positive" to spend $120 to exercise a core civil right.

Update - I called the county pistol clerks office twice spoke to 2 different clerks asking if I can just transfer my Nassau up to Sullivan and I was told no. I was told that since Nassau is a 5 year re-certification County they will not accept the transfer. So back in August I finally got my stuff together and submitted a new application.

Just this past Monday April 27, 2020, 8 months after submitting my application I had my Skype interview with the Judge. Part of the delay was that one of the Judges retired in October and it took a few months to get the new Judge up to speed.

The judge asks me why wasn't this a transfer and I repeat to him what the clerks told me and he said that is just wrong. This should have been a transfer and completed months ago. He then approved the unrestricted license. Now I have to wait for the clerks office to process it which will take time because of Corona.

Crazy

The ass hats put in charge of implementing the process dont even know what they are doing. Makes me wonder why we should even try to follow the unconstitutional laws.
