You're most welcome.

The process for obtaining a pistol permit is more burdensome in some areas of NY than in others. You will need to have the background investigation done by your local law enforcement agency-town or village police, county sheriff, NYSP, depending on where you live. Some agencies are more dilligent than others. The permit then goes through the County Clerk's office for processing to the Judge who is issuing the permits. The speed of that process also varies from County to County and Judge to Judge. I have no idea what it takes to get a carry permit in the City of NY. New York State Pistol permits do carry the description of every handgun which you own because each handgun is registered. Make, model, serial No. caliber and Bbl length.

It is a royal pain in the arse. After you have been issued a permit each time you see a gun you want, you buy it, get a receipt, go to the County Clerk's pistol license dept. register the gun, get a purchase coupon, go back to the store, give them the coupon, fill out the ATF&E form, get the NICS check, and then and only then, pick up your gun. Depending on how far you live from the Clerk's office and how far the dealer is from your home, a great deal of automobile travel may be one of the price's you pay for living in NY.

Thank you for your service to our nation, sir.

Regards,
Doug
