im 17 and you need to be 21 to get a permit in ny,from what i have heard, should i apply now, cuz my buddies dad applied for one 4 years ago, and nothing has happened since. haha, im sure that wouldnt work so dontstart rattlin off on me alright. i jsut find it rediculous theres such a stink about it, in my oppinion it should be 18 like all other guns, i guesss week waiting period is fair, but come on, 4 years and nothing?
