I am a new handgun owner and have what is probably a stupid question. I have tried searching for an answer but have been unable to find any forum post that addresses this question. It could speak to my poor search skills. I just bought a new Gen 4 Glock 19. Anyway, here is the question...

I am an applicant in Dutchess, I just had my prints and photos done at the Clerk's office, so they say I am 4 to 6 months away from having a permit. It may be a bit early but I would rather have these answers sooner than later. Do they ever actually deny anyone in Dutchess? I have heard other...
