4MAY2016 - Drove to store. Bought pistol. Went shooting at the range.
Why in God's name would you have to friend a police officer on FB to get a pistol permit? That seems like an invasion of privacy
Would it have produced a denial if you refused? How did he justify asking you to do that?
That just sucks, sorry to hear the hoops they have you going through. I thought Onondaga county was bad
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.

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.

Facebook requirement is to see what kind of company you keep?

One more reason to stay off the social network grid. I mostly regret getting involved with FB because of how invasive it is and how it's become a tool to be used against you instead of one for free expression. My only reason for keeping my account is to keep lines of communication open with old friends and the like. I'm very rarely on there anymore but people can still contact me through it.

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.
Here in Chautauqua the ladies in the permit office apologize constantly for the 3-6 month wait from beginning to end of the process.
Even the letter from the judge telling you you got your permit starts with "we apologize for the delay".

Sorry for the delay, here’s our approximate timeline for Town of Colonie:
Week of 1/3/16 – we took permit class
Week of 1/10/16 – called separately for appointments.BTW, officer stated that we should have both come in at the same time, though that option was not offered when we scheduled. So take note if you are applying with spouse. Originally scheduled mid-June, but asked to be moved up if any time slots became vacant. Future applicants, make sure you do that, because:
Week of 3/13/16 – met with the permitting officer; separately, prints done (~$100)
Week of 3/27/16 – dropped off completed paperwork to permitting officer
Week of 4/18/16 – Wife met with the permitting officer; separately, prints done (~$100) –
Week of 5/1/16 – wife drops off paperwork
Week of 7/10/16 – permitting officer interviews at least 3 neighbors (that I am aware of)
Week of 7/17/16 – calls work supervisors and spouse
Week of 8/7/16 – CPD signs off and sends application Albany County
Week of 3/26/17 – receive letter from Albany County to report for hearing in front of judge
Week of 4/2/17 – hearing with judge (he calls us up individually)
Week of 4/16/17 – receive letter from Albany County to pick up permits
Both of our applications requested unrestricted permits. Both permits issued with restrictions (hunting & target).
Note: in response to my question to judge about removal of restrictions in the future based on training, education, and time of possession, judge stated “no, you still need to show cause, regardless of those other factors”

Congratulations! I'm jealous at the speed with which your app was processed. Be interested to hear which judge you got.
