anyone file for one lately?? I am trying to figure all cost involved in just getting the permit. also the time factor. anyone know any short cuts. from what I gather its takes about 6months to a year now and cost around 200 for the class, paperwork and finger printing. ---

yyou can apply for a carry all if you have a good reason to have it, IE:owning ur own business, carry large sums of money, etc… they are very strict about giving them out right away tho, usually u have to reapply in a year if you have good reason. My class was free, and it cost me about 130 bucks when all said and done, pictures, fees, etc… It took me 9 months to get mine, erie county is the hardest in the state to get one, they check everything, and i mean everything, better have some good refrences you need 4 IIRC. ---

And those references all have to live in Erie County, and need to have known you for at least 3 years, might be 5 (can’t remember). ---
