I'm not even sure its a county thing with the FB request. I think Watervliet does this as well, but I'm not sure about the rest of Albany county it may be just a local thing. In Rensselaer for instance, the Town of East Greenbush makes you file through their police department and where as the rest of the county gets fingerprinted at the Sheriff's Dept., in EG you have to go to a third party and pay another $100 or so. No other towns in the county do that.Dang, alot of you guys have it rough.
Its amazing how different each county is.
Where I live there is no meeting with anyone and none of my references were even contacted.
As long as you pass the "eligibility" requirements, you get an unrestricted permit here.
I realize this is the second time today that ive rubbed in how easy it is to get a permit here, sorry.
And just think, we have the same amount of people with permits committing crimes as other counties.......zero.
Facebook requirement is to see what kind of company you keep?That's how Colonie is running the show now. I don't agree with it.

Here in Chautauqua the ladies in the permit office apologize constantly for the 3-6 month wait from beginning to end of the process.Niagara county is like four months beginning to end, and it's only twenty or so miles from where I am. So, I could sell my current house, buy another one, close on it, get the official change of address, and still get a permit BEFORE I will get mine in Erie county.
Awesome!!! I hope you get an unrestricted. Looking forward to hearing about it. You must be pumped.07SEP2017 - Received letter from County Clerk saying my permit application was granted. I did not have to meet with a judge. There is nothing in the letter that says anything about restrictions. I will pick up my permit tomorrow and reply again. So glad the process is almost over.
