Orange County Amendment Time

[kev74]

Didn't our new clerk promise to speed this up, what a joke all elected officials are.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

I encourage people to call or write and politely voice your displeasure.

So uh... Anyone mind helping me out here? I just got my permit and bought a gun over at Davis. I have to send in my amendment form now, right, before anything else happens? For some reason I thought I did all this stuff when I picked it up the second time... Sorry I'm new to all this. Would it be faster if I just hand this stuff at the permit office in person?

 

[kev74]

You have to have the pistol added to your permit via amendment before they'll give you the pistol.

Handing in the amendment in person will save you a couple of days of waiting.

 

[kev74]

I started the clock again this morning with another drop off.

 

[atc250r]

Was thinking about grabbing another pistol before all this new law BS went into effect but i think. I'm gonna get an AR lower instead.

Amendment to add submitted in person 6/14. Check cashed 6/16. Will follow up once complete.. if ever .

What y’all think about these wait times with the SCOTUS decision?

 

[atc250r]

I honestly don't see how it'll change them. We need to put pressure on the county clerk and issuing judges if we want it to improve.

Agree completely. I’m talking more along the lines of the amendments getting lost in the influx of letters regarding unrestricted carry licensure.

It’s like watching paint dry but longer..First pistol for me. Want to be at the range right now lol. Saw a dude in another forum report he got his amendment in 1 week and he sent it in 6/4 .

 

[atc250r]

It's terrible how it's handled here. If you look back a little in this thread, I think my last one took 6 weeks. This is with a county clerk who ran on being more pro-2a. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to walk in with a receipt for your new gun and walk out with your amendment. I understand that they may not be able to give you a new hard card on the spot but there's no reason they can't give you a paper saying it's being added then send a new card later on.

 

[kev74]

If this decision takes away the judicial review of permits, they shouldn't need to review amendments either.

If that happens, it will take time to play out.

There is absolutely no reason as to why you can’t walk in with your purchase coupon and walk out within the hour with your new permit card. Erie county does that every day of the week. They even opened up a satellite office just for doing amendments and address changes. Heck erie county even has staff that goes to local gun shows who can do amendments right there on the spot for you. Usually it takes 5-10 minutes but sometimes they get busy and it can take an hour.

if Erie county in WNY can do this, there’s absolutely no reason as to why every count in NYS can do this, other than they intentionally do not want too.

Yep it should happen, but in orange despite the fact that every single elected official runs on a pro 2A platform, they s*** all over us.

 

[Kdavid014]

amendment received with two pistols added . 2 weeks 4 days since dropping off form . 2 weeks 2 days since cash checked

 

[Howdy]

Do any of you buy a 2nd pistol before the amendment for your previous purchase goes through? I'd like to get what I want sooner rather than later, and don't want to wait 6 weeks per purchase...

Nothing wrong with that, the only good thing about a pistol license in OC is that they don't care how many times you add and subtract to your license as long as you pony up your 5 bucks.

Very true with DuBois as Sheriff. We'll see what happens in November when we hear the old saying, 'boys, there's a new Sheriff in town'.

That reminds me, there's two pistols that are on my license but not my wife's and I need to add them to hers.

FWIW, I'm going to send in my amendment with the change of address. I've wasted more than $5 on worse things,

 

[Parzival]

Crazy what you have to deal with just to take a new gun home in some counties.

As long as I have a NY permit, it will stay in Schulyer county.

Sent an amendment in last Friday 7/8. New permit arrived today, I live in Montana, my mail is slow.

I won't be adding anything to my NY permit. Next amendment will be taking stuff off.

I'm wondering if my SBR stamp would suffice for NY to remove my AR pistol (if I go that route).

Yep, exactly what I did…only thing left on my NY permit is 2 Glocks.

That was quick. They sent my paperwork and $5 back.

Looks like a form they added a line to

You are under no obligation to surrender your permit, no matter what the stupid form letter says.

If you're interested in keeping your NY permit, consider sending the amendment form and check back, along with a letter addressed to the county clerk, cc'ing the issuing judge and county executive stating that NYS law has no residency requirement for pistol permits, and that she (the clerk) is exposing the county to legal liability, especially in light of the Bruen decision.

I can give you another organization to CC the letter to that might get it more attention if you decide to go that route. I don't think the judges know they're doing this.

you could also attach this form when you send it back ..

6 weeks and 4 days from dropping it off in person to getting the amendment in the mail.

Its a good thing they're on our side.

 

[kev74]

Latest amendment came back 30 days after dropping it off in person.

Funny...the green paper was originally dated "September", scribbled out, and Oct. 18 written in over the judge's signature. I'm guessing it got lost for 2.5+ weeks.

 

[1341]

Start the clock, dropped off amendment in person today 12/2. Also added the semi auto to the license.

 

[1341]

Christmas present arrived yesterday, judge signed on 12/8. Took 16 days from then to arrive via mail. Total of 22 days, I guess not bad for OC and the holiday season.

 

[tlj000]

5 friggin weeks. Dropped off 1/27 got it today
