RE: My First Pistol
Here in onondaga county you have to pay $10.00 for an application and then pay $25.00 for a safty course. Then after you fill it out with 4 referances(no family or people who reside with you) you make an appointment to turn it in and get finger printed 4 times plus a thumb print on you permit with a photo.That cost $36.00 county fee and $99.00 fee for the FBI to run your finger prints. They tell you it can take up to 6 months and say not to call untill that 6 months is up. I waited 4 months and then called when they told me I was approved. They also said that they sent out the post card telling me I was approved but it was lost in the mail I guess. Then you go to the Sheriff's office to pick your permit up. When you buy a pistol you have to pay for it and take a bill of sale with a bill for a trigger lock also to the Sheriff's office where they type it on you permit and then give you a coupon that you take back to the seller who then lets you take your pistol home. Long process but It is worth it.

RE: My First Pistol
when i lived in missouri, to buy a handgun you had to go to the court house fill out few papers maked a 10 dollar donation to the county and then wait for the sheriff to sign your permit, then you take the permit back to the FFL dealer and get your gun, also private sales between individuals is a felony so you had to buy your guns from a dealer.
Here in arizona its awesome, you go to the gun store pick out what you want fill out a 4473 form and as soon as the phone call for the background check is done, you get to leave with the gun. same process for both long guns and handguns here in arizona also private sales on handguns are also legal. Arizona is a gun owners paradise
A buddy of mine a few months back got a nice christmas bonus and bought 7 handguns in one day. Arizona is Grrrrrrreat!!!

Here in Florida to buy a gun ,fill out the 4473 and they make a call in.There is a waiting period on handguns but I'm not sure how long it is.Since I have my CCW I'm exempt from waiting periods.I still have to have the rediculious call in though.
