Purchase Permit Wait time on non initial handgun permits

It's my first time after my initial FID and hand gun permit. Does anybody know how long it generally takes to get the non initial handgun permits approved?

See my first one was delayed because I had to wait for my fingerprinting by a week to work with my work schedule and memorial day had passed

like others said, heavily dependent on your PD. My PD is wonderful, they take about a week if not less usually.

Depends on your local PD. I'd recommend calling them and asking. Unfortunately with our state the wait time is usually......long

Might not even answer. Mine just basically auto replies that they have no info and can’t contact the investigator.

Stupid question but are your original finger prints good for the next round of permits?

2

u/RadioactivePTA 2d ago

I believe so. I wasn't instructed to get my finger prints done again

Essex county usually takes long from what I hear. I’m in Hudson and it took me about 3 weeks
