Dutchess County Permit wait time?

Bro you have priors or something? 2 years is bananas and I have read of many other folks on the internets whom have received theirs within 8 months, some as quickly as 6 (pathetic lol).

You should maybe get an attorney involved re: the 6 months to approve/deny. Keeping you in limbo is fucked up.

Yeah I had a non violent misdemeanor from 17 years ago. I don’t know how hard it is just recommend approval or denial and send it to the judge. It is what it is nothing is going to change with my background.

FWIW, I have heard of people writing to the judge, if the judge is sitting on it, explain anything on their record, how they've grown, etc. and it helping with the process. Your miles may vary though.

You can also always report it to FPC or any of those firearms advocacy groups as well to see if you can get support.

Your situation is beyond pathetic. Hell, it is criminal. That said, there isn't much you can do about it. Even worse if your background is completely clean.

My thought would be to contact the PPO, by phone if they will answer, or in person, if they won't, to find out "where in the process your application is". Hey, it might be held up, or "misplaced" somewhere ahead of the judge. If they answer you, and say it is with the judge, follow up and ask WHEN it went to the judge.

If the judge has been sitting on it, I would send a neatly typed and respectful letter to the judge, stating who you are, etc., and that you are writing to ask if there is some sort of issue with your application that is causing a delay in his decision? And then ask if there is any further information he needs from you to make a decision. Lastly, offer to meet with the judge in person at his convenience to see that you are a good and law abiding person.

Good Luck.

Alternatively, - you could always just say screw it, and move to Free America like I did.
