mit? does it take as long as the original FID / Pistol permit? Do you still have to have references and all that jazz?

Yes, Yes, and Yes. Depending on where you are will determine the length of time it takes to get back a pistol permit. Just like your FID card.

I think my FID and first pistol permit was something like 1.5 months, thanks for info!

Yes - except you won't get fingerprinted again. It will cost $18.00 for the background check and $2.00 for each permit. It's a PITA so apply for at least 2 when you go.

I would but I know I wont be buying 2 pistols in the next 6 or so months so not sure it is really worth it

just put 3 down...

Put down 3. Even if you don't use them all you lose is 2 dollars each. If you come into some money, or find a great deal it really sucks if you don't have a permit and have to pass.

Why would you not apply for as many pistol permits as you can? You say you will not buy, but deals come along.... or say you want to put your handgun in on consignment.... to get it back, you need a pistol permit.

 

Apply for 6. One a month plus extension. Cheap cheap cheap opportunity insurance.

Hey - things change unexpectedly in life. I'll blow 5 bucks on a lottery ticket. I'd surely spend 6 on 3 pistol permits, used or not. I haven't wasted a permit yet.

you hope it does not take as long as the 1st one.. :roll:

Matt you need to fill out S.P. 66 and S.T.S. 033 again. $18 for the State Police and $2 per permit. You may need to sign form SBI-212A for release of background check. Your department may or may not contact your references again affecting the amount of time to get your permits. My FID took 2 & 1/2 months, but my second time applying for them I got them in a month. Good luck.
