Processing of license applications. Applications for licenses
shall be accepted for processing by the licensing officer at the time of
presentment. Except upon written notice to the applicant specifically
stating the reasons for any delay, in each case the licensing officer
shall act upon any application for a license pursuant to this section
within six months of the date of presentment of such an application to
the appropriate authority. Such delay may only be for good cause and
with respect to the applicant. In acting upon an application, the
licensing officer shall either deny the application for reasons
specifically and concisely stated in writing or grant the application
and issue the license applied for.
NYS penal law 400.00 states that they are supposed to act within 6 months but if delayed, you are supposed to be notified of the delay. I recently spoke with a former co-worker who recently got his concealed carry permit and it took about 7 1/2 months to get. Depends on the backlog.
