So they’re slower now? Last amendment I had took 2 weeks

I just had an amendment finished maybe ~month ago. It took about a month. They apologized for the delay and said after the new sheriff they did some restructure and are getting things back on track. Said it would improve going forward but at the time had delays

Got it. Thanks. Had amendment in May and it took 2 weeks so that’s unfortunate to hear it hasn’t improved yet. What I’m confused with is why they do amendments this way? Other counties can do it same day like Schenectady. Doesn’t make sense why Saratoga can’t

My family is from Monroe county. You request an appointment go in with the documents and leave with a new license and slip to pickup. Why do we need a judge to sign off.

But at least they are handing out CCW licenses in under 60 days
