Been waiting on NYPD for my Purchase Auth since 2/14/2020

[RooftopKorean]

I was eligible for my next handgun in early February. I mailed in the purchase authorization request on 2/4 and got a USPS confirmation receipt a few days later.

I realized they are probably closed down due to covid-19 but this shit is out of hand now. On May 14 I will be 120 days over due.

My Kimber Pro Raptor II has been sitting at my FFL paid in full for the last 5 months.

NYPD should be forced to give people two purchase authorizations now. Completely useless department.

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

2A is non essential.

"Now" it's out of hand?

 

[Airborneguy]

Did you call? I know for a fact that officer has people in it.

I was arguing with them last week over a case. After I refused to go get someone's guns and got my higher command to agree with me, they called him and told him to drop his guns off at the nearest precinct. They are handpicked to be the worst anti-gun people in the world.

Stainless or matte black? Raptors are sweet pistols.

Yes I did, no one is answering the PA line. I've left two voice mails and e-mailed three times. When I did speak with someone they said they quickly transferred me to the PA line and again I and got the voicemail box.

I'm sure they do that intentionally to pick the most hard ass douches just to make 2A supporters miserable. I know they are your fellow coworkers but it's a dickish thing for the department to do.

Stainless with the walnut grips.

Loosely I guess, but I have nothing to do with them and they are just as hostile to retired cops as they are to civilians. The person I was advocating for was a retired Sgt and they acted no differently than any other case I’ve dealt with them on.

By the title I expected and would not have been surprised if you had meant Feburary 2014.

Same here. Our pistol license bureau is closed until who knows when.
Saw a couple of good deals online, but took a pass on them.

 

[Onegunnotenough]

My pistol license up in june,got paperwork April 1. Filled all screens proper I got a call from them saying I didn't take pic of my current license, which is bs as it doesnt let you pass screen unless you do it,anyway,she was nice and I retook pics,she even emailed me saying everything in order and I would receive license by my birthday.
Point is they are there and covid19 doesn't mean anything to them.
I'm curious if after all this is if we will still need to do gun inspection which is them doing nothing except writing serial number in a book. They make us go there to pick up a purchase order then bring gun back. All which can be done by mail. I know it's done to discourage purchases to make us work more,is it necessary now that we can potentially die from person to person encounter?

 

[Cooolone]

Yeah, now that the SCOTUS gave NYC a pass, you can certainly expect that they'll be on point taking care of people!

Lol...

Don't hold your breath, sorry!

 

[RooftopKorean]

Still nothing, not even an e-mail or return phone call

Why blame it on Kung Flu? 2A hasn't had relevance in NY for years.

Welcome to the club of hurry up and wait. FUAC!

That's what I had initially thought too.

I updated the thread title with the year as well.

 

[RooftopKorean]

Still no update from NYPD on Purchase Authorizations. I can't even get someone on the phone to get any further information.

Maybe its time for a visit to 1PP.

For what? To wait in line only to be told I can't come in or we have no information (in person) because my city is run by a bunch of cock gobbling liberal douche nozzles?

Well, I guess there isnt much you can do.
Either phone bomb them or go down there so at least you can talk to a human being.
I doubt you will get anywhere either way.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

You could also just wait until the NYPD gets defunded....
All joking aside, I can't imagine how frustrated you must be with this. It's complete bullshit.

 

[Blimey]

Don't worry, you will have this done any year soon.

 

[Jem45472]

That really sucks. I would be fuming by this time. Our offices are closed and I had to mail mine in. Took a week, I couldn't imagine having to wait 4-5 months to add a gun.

 

[RooftopKorean]

Yep, it sucks and its absolutely ridiculous.

On a side note... I wonder if an admin will change my name to RooftopKorean.

My mom was always telling me to embrace my Korean heritage growing up, that is one aspect of my culture I'll gladly embrace.

I read RooftopKaren I’d tell you to move but ehh.

Rooftop Karen sounds more dangerous. She’d shoot the manager!
