Two friends and I applied for our permits a long time and we have all been approved. I figured I would post the timeline we each experienced so anyone else in Oneida County knows what to expect.
Wait time for appointment to be fingerprinted by the Sheriff's office and submit application:
Friend 1: 6 weeks
Friend 2: 7 weeks
Me: 7 weeks
Time between application submitted and approval letter received:
Friend 1: 8 Months
Friend 2: 8 Months
Me: 8 Months
In order for the permit to be finally issued we needed to purchase a pistol and call for an appointment with the model, caliber, serial number, etc. Wait times for appointment to receive permit after purchase:
Friend 1: 2 weeks
Friend 2: 4 weeks
Me: 5 weeks
I still haven't gotten my permit yet, I'm 2 weeks into my 5 week wait for my appointment to pick it up.
The time and money that I have put into this process is ridiculous. This state is garbage.
