Funny.... The un-safe law was signed using a message of necessity to circumvent normal due process protections. But 5 years later, there seems to be no hurry to implement its biggest parts - the ammo database, the assault weapon registry or the pistol permit recertification.

I'm a native Texan (2nd Amendment Spoiled), and have decided to stay in upstate
NY because my little boy is getting incredible services and support for autism (Springbrook School-Delaware County). I have never been turned down for a CCW (three states) but I'll be damned if I don't get sideways looks
from folks here when I ask for the "three references of character." In short, I'm a nice guy, a retired
Marine officer, and have never committed a crime, but I cannot get a simple pistol permit for this reason.
I even thought of getting my PI license in NY since I have five years verified experience in Texas so I can at least carry here.
When I bought my SAFE ACT legal AR-15 from Perosi Firearms last summer, Mr. Perosi was sympathetic and suggested
I take a pistol safety class? And ask around if students might do a "favor" and sign each others paperwork? May I ask why this is such a touchy subject here?? And please, something helpful, not just "fuck off and go back to Texas." I have the right to carry and protect my disabled old ass and the life of my 12 year old non verbal son. This state is something ELSE!!!!!!!

Not sure of the reason for the touchyness but would suggest that you know your references and what they will say about you, mine we’re never contacted in Onondaga county. Then stay on their ass to submit the reference forms in a timely manner. When ask about the status of permits permit offices often say they haven’t received the references.
So go buy another long gun for now while you wait to get your PP and wait you shall. I hear the wait times have gotten better but I waited 14 months about 5 years back.
Welcome aboard Marine!!

Welcome to NY it truly is a wonderful state, fishing camping skiing you name it. Its unfortunately ruled by southern tier pussies. Apply for your permit if denied hire a lawyer ... they don't have any legal grounds to deny someone who moves here a permit just because they don't know anyone.

What the fuck do you mean ruled by southern tier pussies? Southern tier if anything is more 2A friendly than a good chunk of the state, hell chemung county sheriff has been inviting PA residents to come and get their Handgun licenses for NY, the same sheriff ran against Cuomo with Astorino as the Lt. Gov.
Down state ie NYC is the one who controls what's going on for the rest of the state NOT the southern tier

Welcome to nys now go the fick back to Texas if you want real 2a rights.
No seriously my son has some minor issues and the schools here are great and the support too. I commend you for making the sacrifice for your little boy.
About the references I think the advice is sound that you do need to know your references and what they will say. I’d be cautious of a random stranger walking up to me and saying hey can you help me get my PP. people probably thing you state police doing a sting or something. On your side you want to know what they will say. If they don’t go through with it you start all over or if they say he’s crazy you’ll be denied. Good luck and join a shooting club or ask to meet up at the range with members here. Your really far from me or I’d meet up.
Also yes nys is a beautiful state and would be great in nyc was not part of it. We need more 2a supporters here so welcome.
