can be an incredible PITA depending upon which county you are in. The closer you are to NYC, the harder it can get.

It took about 3 months to get into the required training class and then I waited almost 18 months before my application came up for processing (but, by that time I had already relocated to another state) and was told that my permit had been selected to appear before a county judge to explain "why" I needed a gun.
