Once you get an unrestricted permit you can apply for a Pennsylvania CCW.

You can get a Pennsylvania CCW with a restricted NY permit. Apply to Centre County.

so, i went and applied for my pistol permit last friday the 10th, now i'm playing the waiting game, does anyone on the forum have any idea how long it might take me to hear back about the permit. i'm a broome county NY resident

They are all backed up in NY. I waited 10 months for mine. Got a buddy in the process for 3 months now, was told by the investigating officer that it will be another 6 months before he sees the judge. That's 9 months before the judge makes a decision. Then you need to figure another 6-8 weeks to get the card in the mail.

I don't know about the time frame, but you will definitely receive a restricted permit. That's the rule in Broome County.

What you need to do after that is attend a class that is authorized by the court to upgrade your restricted to a full carry permit. I run such a course. Mine is the only one that will actually train you, not just certify you. besides, it's the most economical out of all of them. I've run over 100 people through the class and every one of them that submitted for their upgrade has received it in about two to three weeks.

Here's a link to the info:

Scroll down to the Defensive Pistol Skills 101/CCW Upgrade listing. Pick the date that you can attend and we'll see you there!

If you have any questions, feel free to email me through the website.

Good luck and I hope to see you soon


Were the 100 people that had their permits upgraded all from Broome County or is that the overall number through out the State? Thanks!

To the OP, I got my pistol permit in Broome about 2 years ago, and it took roughly 3-4 months to have them get back to me. Hopefully your wait is less, but given recent politics, supposedly theres a rush to get guns in general, and your wait may be longer. They had told me they reserved up to 6 months to reply!

I've since moved out of state (much to my dismay...lived in Broome nearly all my life), and now in CT, one positive factor is that CCW permits are easier to get, and I just finished getting mine here to carry. Only a 2 month wait too.

A followup question for Roch if he knows. I was always interested in getting my permit upgraded in NY, but never knew of any method of doing so. Is there any chance to have my NY one upgraded, now that I'm an out of state resident? I know having a CCW in CT wont hold much weight, but I'm interested in an upgraded permit for a number of reasons, one being that there's much more room to shoot in NY than CT...most of my family owns large plots of land in NY...whereas in CT an acre is for the wealthy...lol. Having a permit between the two states would ease my mind a little, especially once I get in the habit of carrying in CT; I'd hate to sneak into NY on accident carrying! Any info would be great!
