I have my full carry permit, issued in Niagara County. As was stated, it’s far easier in Niagara County than in Erie. Your starting point would be the Erie County Clerk’s Office - Pistol Permit Department. They’ll give you a packet with instructions, and should be able to answer any questions. It will take you close to a year (if not more), and you’re not likely to get anything besides a target/hunt permit, even if you apply for a full carry. IIRC it will cost somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 to 200 dollars by the end. Don’t bother if you have a criminal record, you’ll just be throwing away your money.

move to Allegany county. I applied and got mine in the mail 4 weeks later, cost me 100 bucks… my .45 USP H+K however was a bit more :snky: I called the DMV, got the forms then went to the Sherriff dept to get finger printed. They did a phone interview with me a week later, called my 5 references and BAM!.. permit in the mail. EDIT: I have an unrestricted concealed carry permit. ---

my friend lived in PA. he said he walked into the town hall signed some shit and walked out with it that day! Is it really that hard for them to take your finger prints and look on the police data base to see if you have any kind of record?
