Dutches county

Finaly got my appointment at Dutches county sherif's office for fingerprints. Only took 6 months ,because of the back log.
Whole fingerprinting took less then 45 min , ladies working there west super nice. All said at done , I was told it'll be 4-6 months till I get the actuall permit.
And yes,there's a restriction, because Dutches county doesn't give out full carry if you're not a citizen.
Oh, well. I'll take it any way I can . Lol.

I'm going to hate this wait... I need to call on friday to schedule an appointment. I think this might be a while =/

Got letter in the mail today. Picking up my license tomorrow. I guess things changed and sped up.

 

[sr20sean]

This is REALLY good to hear since I have my fingerprinting next Thursday.

How long of a wait did you have between the printing and getting the letter? One month exactly? Carrying this summer might be a possibility.

 

[valerko]

Yup,exactly one month

 

[Trekmtbr89]

your getting restrictions why?

 

[sr20sean]

Yup,exactly one month

This county might not be too bad after all

your getting restrictions why?

Said it at the end of the post. Non citizen

Looking forward to mine already. I got fingerprinted on the June 12, so knowing you got it in a month is promising for me. They too told me 4-6 months, maybe that's to keep us from calling and bothering them.

if you don't mind me asking, what gun did you end up buying?

-D

^ I'm still waiting. 6 weeks now.

How do non-citizens get pistol permits? I had no idea you could do this. Heck I did not know they can own firearms. I thought you had to be an American citizen?

How do non-citizens get pistol permits faster than citizens would be a better question lol

Hell I had my prints taken back in March and still haven't gotten the letter or heard anything.

 

[Dorsilfin]

strange that he had fingerprinting in april and got his in a month. Did your app have things to warrant more time spent on background checking Arrests etc etc?

when I was there and they told me 4-6 months they said theres a big wait in albany for mental health checks which is what ive seen everywhere else but still doesnt compute how he got it in a month if theres a huge hold up there.

guess we can just keep playing the waiting game.

I stopped in earlier since I was in the area. Nothing has come back yet.

You're confusing non citizens with ********. Lol

Hmmm no I was not. What actually came to mind was LEGAL immigrants. Still can anyone answer my question?

You can own a gun as you don't fit any of these:
Fugitives of justice
Felons and people convicted of some misdemeanors
People under indictment for certain crimes
Illegal aliens
Anyone that has been found mentally unstable
Unlawful users of any controlled substance
Anyone dishonorably discharged from the military
Anyone who has renounced their U.S. citizenship
Anyone subject to a restraining order for stalking, harassing, or threatening

How do they do background checks from people of other countries? What about references? If you have only been in the country for a short time, who do you use as references? Still kind of surprised that a non-citizen can get a pistol permit.

I posted this in another thread, and it was for Orange County, but maybe it's true for all counties. I was told that the local sheriff's offices were getting direct access to do the mental health checks so they don't have to submit through Albany. Because of the transition (orange county is supposed to be up and running on July 1st), Albany has not been processing requests for mental health checks for the last month or two, which is causing a backlog of applications. Maybe that's the case here.
