Erie County, NY Pistol Permit Application Process

[nuch41]

Handed in application on 1/13/2012.... Prints taken on 1/14/2012. No references have been contacted yet. Pistol permit office said the application is with Amherst police. Amherst police said 1 detective is in charge of the background checks and that there is a large stack.

Nuch41, I am a permit holder from amherst, The amherst PD is a bit slow but once they start contacting references, they finish it fairly fast. It's a painless process, the detective is a good guy. The time it took from reference check to the letter in hand was 5 long months. Be patient it will be worth the wait.

Thanks for the reply rchery59. I bet a friend a pizza that I wouldn't get it by the end of the year. Now all I have to do is decide on Bocce's or LaNova.

Too bad pizza junction is closed. You still may get your letter before the year end. Depends on where your app ends up in the rotation for the PD and then the judge.
