I am in Niagara County - been almost 3 months now I think. Probably will take 6 if I am lucky. I just could not pass up the deal I got, and if for some stupid reason I don't get approved the FFL can easily sell it for retail and I will make a few bucks. :-)
Actually, it is the FFL holding it. The bastard sent me a teaser pic late yesterday. As of yet, I have not actually seen it. I think he is really enjoying rubbing it in that he has it, and I can't have it LOL
Got the pistol, Holster is arriving tomorrow, and the belt is already wearing in. Just need the permit. :)
This is my new baby, a S&W M&P Shield 45 Performance Center with Tritium sights.
I was figuring 6 months or more, just because of my luck but I had some cash available, and the pistol was on sale, so I jumped on it. I will keep the updates coming as I go through the process. Thanks for all of the input - I really do appreciate it.
So a quick update - none of my references have been contacted yet other than the letter they had to fill out and return with all of the basic questions. Looks like I may be sitting in a pile on a desk somewhere at this point. No denial letter - so there is that as a plus! I talked to a buddy...
If the press actually reported EVERY time an armed legal citizen stopped an act of violence by even brandishing a firearm - none of this would be an issue. The left is playing the long con, and we will slowly but surely loose our rights, have weapons confiscated, and then be ruled by govt like...
I appreciate all of the feedback. I just want to CCW properly, and try to do the right thing. The county specific "rules" are not quote LAW unquote but can still get your permit yanked if you violate them. Niagara County is pretty relaxed from what I have been able to learn, but I regularly...
I am in Niagara County, and had to do the fingerprinting before they even began to process the application. And yeah, it was 100 bucks - but the county gets Zero Dollars of it.
Update: 21 days after I turned in my paperwork and fingerprints, all 4 of my references got the letter on the same day and all 4 have mailed it back. Seems to me like this is really quick for this part of the process. I will let you all know how things go throughout the process.
Yet another story about a LAW ABIDING concealed carry citizen saving the day. Don't bother looking for it on MSMS. This guy potentially saved lives, at least 4 that we know of now, and probably many more.
I have been around handguns all my life, and to be honest I don't know why I never got my permit until now - maybe just because it is such a pita, or sheer laziness. I have a best friend who has his FFL and get to shoot a ton of different weapons, and that Shield 45 just felt right the second I...
So, All of my paperwork is in, and being in Niagara County it is a concealed carry permit application, I am fingerprinted and now just have to wait. Does anyone from Niagara County know the average wait time to get one issued? I have already picked out and test fired my 1st Handgun - I have...
Really? I am surprised to hear that. I know a lot of guys who were denied just over stupid things like using blue ink, not having disposition letters, and even using references that have been arrested. I do appreciate the info!
THAT is good news - It is really appreciated. I am really surprised I cannot find anything, anywhere about it though. This process has been a serious pain in the ass - it is no wonder so many people don't bother. They make it as hard as possible to do. If even a single non black mark is on...
So I read through everything again, and there is literally almost no detail on anything for Niagara County. They are listed here: Pistol Permit Application Instructions and Other FAQ's
They really did a disservice to all of us in Niagara County - the details are really lacking.
Thanks for the information - I appreciate it. I am no stranger to handling handguns, but I finally decided to apply for my permit, and will 100% put in the time and training as well as range time. Is NY a state where we are required to tell a police officer that we are carrying concealed if...
So I am in the process of getting my CCW in NY, Niagara County. I have no arrests, no jail time, nada. I have been searching for hours but cannot find any real rules or regulations on what I can and cannot do in NY with a CCW. Can you guys school me on pistol permits in NY? How many rounds...
They are not going to stop until they "try" to get full disarmament. Then there will be a fight, and a reboot. There is nothing that will stop NY State's illegal and leftist actions. We simply just don't have the numbers to vote them out. Once again - Thanks NYC and oh yeah - FUAC.
Wow - that guy looks like he is literally on the verge of exploding...something very wrong with those eyes. Typical Lib - use threats of violence against law abiding citizens to push the agenda.
I just don't even know how to accurately describe how disgusting this asshole really is. I am on a personal mission to get people out to the polls this year.
With super liberal NYC behind him, he can do whatever he wants and will still be a Hero. Break CA up into 3 states, and NY into 2 and we will all be happy.
I will be at the Polls - so will EVERY GODDAMN member of the family that is of voting age, even if I have to fucking drag them by their teeth - we will get out and Vote. I am aggressively pushing everyone I know to do the same. We all have to do the same.
Ryan knows Trump will be here for his entire two terms, and he sees the swamp draining. He is just getting out while on Top before something / someone comes after him. And Mitch.... good God, he can barely make a complete sentence - I swear he must have an earpiece in place with someone on...
With schools more intent on teaching everyone Spanish versus teaching American history or Government - what did we think was going to happen. This continues through College and you have a fresh crop of newly indoctrinated liberals every graduation. FACTS do not matter to these kids - all they...
Not sure how all of your wives and girlfriends are, but if I demanded or told my wife to vote in any particular way.... well, lets just say there would be consequences. I don't like those consequences.
