i'm not one to complain, but heres something i need to get off my chest.
last thursday I got my tax return, so I went to my favorite gun dealer and bought a New Redhawk 44mag, i've been wanting the gun for a while and since i had the money...what the hell.
so here in the great state of NY broome county to be exact, i need to take my permit to the sheriffs office with the recipt for the gun and have it put on my permit and then there is a "waiting period" until i get the ticket i then hand to the dealer and i can pick up the gun.
well the woman at the sheriffs office who is nothing more than nice, kindly tells me that the judge is out of county doing a murder trial so its going to take about 3 -4 weeks until i get the ticket. so i have to wait 3 weeks to pick up a gun i paid in full for..thats some B.S.
i don't understand why NY can't just get it together, i went through all the processing of getting my permit, background check ,5 sheets of fingerprints,$125...i'm not a felon and i hate being treated like one......
It could be worse, I guess....your local newspaper could be "publishing" on the internet your carry license information!

That does suck. Just another example of how the laws only hurt and make things complicated for the law abiding. If they are going to have a law like that they should have someone as a backup in cases like this. Waiting 3 weeks to get a gun you've paid for sucks.
Then again you can move to Florida! We are always looking for more law abiding gun friendly people down here. If you have your permit you walk out of the dealer's that day with your new baby. No waiting. No having it added to your permit.
Oh and we don't have that cold white stuff that falls from the sky either!

~Until watching this forum, I did not realize that you guys in NY had it so tough.. It's pretty insane...i don't understand why NY can't just get it together, i went through all the processing of getting my permit, background check ,5 sheets of fingerprints,$125...i'm not a felon and i hate being treated like one......

That sucks, but you can always move to Arizona. Gun friendly here.
Va is gun friendly too. You're more than welcome to come on down. I'm going to the gun show this weekend and picking up an AK-47 as a birthday to myself. And all I'll have to do is fill out my paperwork and wait for the background check and then I can walk out with my gun in hand right then and there. Gotta love it!
