Because they are the ones that informed me that I had to do the nics check even thought it is my brother. I just got of the phone with the police gun guy. According to him I can use each nics check for that set of transactions. In other words, if I could line up 3 people to all meet me at the county clerks office, I could do those 3 transactions on the one nics check. If it's two separate days then I would need two separate nics checks. View Quote When the NICS check is called in the NICS center asks the FFL how many checks they are conducting. You can't do a NICS check one day and file it away for use a day or two later on another FFL transaction, which is the way it sounded to me when I read the other post Yeah the whole NICS check thing for dual listed handguns is ( I think ) a fairly new development I heard about it from our permit folks last month and I flat out told them I wasn't doing NICS checks on guns that aren't on my books. They seem to think some FFLs are doing that. So I am not sure how the permit folks are expecting a permit holder who wants to dual list a handgun with another family member to take the gun to an FFL and get a NICS checks Whole thing would have/ could have been avoided if Spitzer had just played nice with the Feds and we still had NICS exemptions for permit holders |

Average turn around with my judge for an amendment is 10 days.. last one took 12, but was signed 5 days after I submitted it.... There apparently was a little lag in the office mailing it back out

Your county clerk is running NICS checks? So you aren't handling sales through an FFL and a 4473? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

...... I just called my county clerk to ask them if I get a nics check done to obtain my brothers gun, can I use it for another gun as well or can I use that one nics check for a certain amount of time. They had no idea and referred me to the local state police gun branch. So basically the people enforcing the rules have no idea what they are. Classic. Why would you expect the pistol permit folks to have that information on a Federal instant check program. The NICS check is for a particular transaction. You can't "re-use" it for a completely different transaction at another time. Because they are the ones that informed me that I had to do the nics check even thought it is my brother.

I still have to go to an ffl and get it done. My question was based upon getting multiple transactions done at one time or seeing if one nics check was good for multiple occasions if used in a certain time frame. As I live about 25 miles from my county clerk and work another 15 in the wrong direction you can imagine how easy it is for me to get to the county clerk from 9-5 Monday through Friday. Even the guy I talked to from the police said its all based on making it as difficult as possible for people to transfer guns private sale. |

Got a call Wednesday, he had talked to everybody except my girlfriend, according to him all references gave good reports. Later that day he talked to her. Now it's back to the waiting game.

After reference calls fast forward two weeks I received a letter telling me that I was approved and my permit would be mailed shortly, two more weeks later the actual permit arrived. Monroe county also but 2008, My whole process was about 7 months.

Went to a shop Friday to see if they had the model I want. They had a new and a used one, slept on it and talked with my gf, went back Sat, and left a deposit on the new one. Gonna make payments until the permit comes in, then pay it off and buy some ammo.

Unless you were on an actual date when you were completing your application, maybe you should have said, "no." I mean, because you've dated someone in the past (even last week), they have the right to start the inquisition on that person? What if you "broke up" with the girl the day before you completed the application, and then went to the movies the day after? Were you "dating" her at that time? This is an infringement on your (and your girlfriend's) rights. I hope that is becoming painfully clear. ETA: do they disinter the body of your dead wife for questioning if you are a widower? I mean, it's necessary to find out if you are a good guy, right? |

It's the Monroe County questionnaire. I don't care if they talk to her, she knows I put in the application and she was thinking about putting in for hers. I could have put single or when he called, told him we broke up.

My point is, by submitting to all of this you unwittingly make it easier for them to put even more restrictions and privacy infringements in place. Maybe the next applications asks if you've had premarital sex with your girlfriend. Or if you've ever raised your voice to her in an angry fashion. Understand how this works? I would have done everything possible to withhold that information (about your girlfriend) and still maintain the essence of truthfulness. It's none of their fucking business if you are dating someone, want to date someone, or merely have the hots for someone. Use the vagueness of the question against them. |

But...but...TEOTWAWKI, if I raise a stink they will put my app at the bottom of the pile, or I might not get it. Yup. That's the risk. The other option is to continue to submit whenever this state thinks it can pry into your private life for no valid reason. And let's face it--the references part of the process is just a pretext for privacy invasion and obstruction of an exercise of right. But...but...TEOTWAWKI, those bureaucrats are not the problem, they are just doing their job. They are part of the problem because they don't do anything on their end to eliminate or streamline this ridiculous process. Can't rock the boat, you know. The hurdles we need to jump over and the maze of bureaucracy together with the inconsistent requirements from county to county is staggeringly insane. Not to mention the fact that nearly every jurisdiction exceeds the legal timeframe for issuance (ignoring the fact that there should be no requirement in the first place). Tell any gunowner in a free state what you have to do to get a simple POSSESSION permit in New York and they will laugh like you must be joking. You are right--it probably will not get changed barring some miraculous court case, but rolling over and letting the slave owner whip you again isn't the answer either. |

Just an update bump.
Going on two months since I've heard from the MC Sheriff, no new communications. So far I've left a deposit and one additional payment on a pistol and purchased 50 rounds of hollow points. I've also looked into two classes at Rochester Personal Defense. One I can take now and the other has to wait until I get the permit. |

Just in case your on the fence on moving.
In Georgia, you can buy a handgun over the counter without a permit just like buying any other firearm. You need state ID, andof course you NICS, but go into store, pick out pistol, pay - and bring home. If you want a concealed carry permit, its about a few hours of paperwork and takes about 2 weeks to get back inthe mail. NY just sucks - 15 months to get permission to buy a gun WTF? The Federal governemnt does a comprehensive background check instantly - they know your not a felon, etc. instantly. The state has draconian laws - Do yourself a favor and consider moving! Glad I did. |

I grew up in Scottsville (just south of Rochester) and went to the Monroe County Gun Show with my Dad as a kid. I really feel for all of you stuck behind the lines up there. Hell, I didn't even realize until I moved that pistol permits were a NY thing. I figured that was the way it was everywhere. 18 months to get a permit to buy a handgun... ugh!
