Howler,

I was issued mine in upstate New York. The application was $115, but their is no requirement for attending a CCW class in my county. I'm not even sure if anyone even offers a class in my area. My wife also has hers, which was issued in another county. Same deal, no class required. Some counties require that youpay forthe gun, and then apply for a purchase coupon after you provide the serial numbers, then have to go back and pick it up. My county is pretty good. They give you the coupons ahead of time, so if you come across a good buy away from home you can walk out with it the same day. Many counties in New York do require classes, prior to being issued a permit.
