Upstate NY here... here's the scoup for those of us outside NYC (yes there is a NY outside of NYC, believe it or not
![]()
).
Applications for permits here take about 4-6 months. Mine took about 5. You must pay about $125 (LEO's pay $25 or so I believe), for finger printing (and other misc. stuff). You can apply for either standard permit or concealed carry.
When you go to purchase an additional firearm, you must apply and wait for your ammendment to pass (which takes upto 10 days) and costs $4 (even if you already have a valid NCIC check).
At gunshows, unless you are in the county that issued your permit, it is a waste of time (in my opinion). You would have to pick out your firearm, pay for it, turn the info into your county's office.... wait the 10 days for the "purchase coupon to arrive".... then either drive to the "dealers" shop in the other county (or have him ship it to your FFL) or go to the next show that they are at.
