Was that 1 of them "Glamour Shots"?I applied for mine in spring 2007 in NY before I moved to Atlanta. $100 for a 8 hour course, $300 for permit filing, $30 for a picture, $20 for finger printing. Waiting until February 2008 and got the application accepted after a sheriff came out and interview my parents, referenced and neighbors. Then you don't get the permit right away, you have 90 days to get a gun on it or it expires. I put one of my fathers handguns and had to go downtown buffalo at county hours, pay $20 per fun to put on permit, if you don't have that, you need to buy a gun and the the gun store holds your gun, and then go in and put It in your permit. 10 days later you got your actual permit in the mail and you can pick up your new gun.
I moved to GA a month later.
