I believe Herkimer County should be green. Although my unrestricted permit is 50 years old my daughter just recently got her unrestricted permit.

I'll let you decide the color for Oswego County.
It's easy to obtain a pistol permit here.
I have an unrestricted license, and that is "as issued".
It's my understanding that some receive a Sportsmans permit, carry while hunting and target shooting. Apparently after a certain time period, they can request an unrestricted permit.
Some individuals receive an unrestricted license right off the bat.
I'm of the opinion that the type of license you receive depends a lot on the reasons you specify on the application as to why you require a pistol license.
Getting an amendment, with a purchase coupon is about as involved as picking up your prescription at the pharmacy. In other words I am able to buy a new handgun same day.
Edit: More potentially useful input- your PP is (at this point) valid for life, unless of course revoked etc.

There maybe hope for improvement in St Lawrence county. St Lawrence county court judge Richards who put sporting restrictions on most permits just retired after 15 years. His replacement will be selected in next November election. Meanwhile judges will rotate in replacement.
Tioga County is one of the very best 2A counties in the state.. Unrestricted if you want one with a nice letter of explanation to the county judge, and he is a 2a guy.. Wife and I both got our unrestricted permits first try, NO classes required ... They should certainly be green, no question.. EVERYONE I know in Tioga County with no exception has their unrestricted CC permit.. You buy a gun in say Owego, where there are a couple gun shops, run the receipt to the sheriff dept handgun window, and you have the gun in your possession , on your permit, and on the way home in an hour total.... bob

Albany country should be red. You need to go appear in court and plead your case as to why you need an unrestricted permit. I did this and was denied and I'm an honorably discharged veteran with no criminal history. Rensselaer should be green, mother in law went from not owning or shot a firearm in her life, directly to her unrestricted permit.
I believe so, but am not 100%sure... Best bet would be to stop in to Lock n Load in Owego, look around at their nice selection of guns and gear, and ask them about it.. They are much more up to date, and would know a lot better than I do. Nice guys, and know whats happening with the carry permit situation in Tioga County.... bob

I believe Orange County should be green. My wife and I both received our unrestricted right off the bat and of the dozen or so people we know that have their CCW here only one has any restrictions and he was pretty young when he got his CCW. I even had some arrests from when I was a kid (things like trespassing, underage possession of alcohol, and fireworks possession) but I was upfront about all of it and it was no problem.

Can anyone give me insight into Albany and the surrounding counties? I know the CCIA has everything up in arms right now, but I have a friend moving from Alaska that has a pistol she wants to bring, and I'm trying to give her the most information I can.

you buy the pistol from friend ...
friend sends pistol to NYS FFL and you add it your permit ..
when friend gets a NYS permit then you can sell it back to Friend ..
do not let friend into NYS with it on person or locked in car or in lock box flying at all costs ..
Friend will get jammed up if pulled over for anything.
FWIW: I applied for, and was granted my unrestricted permit while an 18 year-old resident of Alegany County way back in '63. I've never had any difficulty carrying while going through two self-defense court cases, routine traffic stops, membership in gun clubs & contact with NYS/DEC Rangers while hunting, required DOD notifications while assigned to USAF & Army assignments in New York State, nor more recent required NYS renewals---even recently as a resident of Clinton County since 1984, and holding my original Alegany permit! Even more recently, a Clinton County judge recommended I transfer my permit to Clinton County---absolutely no problem transferring & renewing my unrestricted permit. For those who might "qualify" & choose to do so for whatever reason, you might look into transferring to a "new" county---or even from out-of-state! Also, for over 50 years, I've had no difficulty obtaining unrestricted non-resident permits in six other states at the same time; including MA., by simply presenting my valid NYS resident permit. (I know---it remains to be seen what current FED and Hochul BS etc. will do when the dust settles!)

his friend from Alaska will never get a Non Resident NY permit so she can carry her pistol into NY ..
and NYS does not recognize any other states permits ...
