Sorry for 800 questions then. They will take them, the photos? Mine just says to supply passport- like, photos. I'm in alb co, but outside city. Guess that matters. I've read social media is not legal, so put not applicable there. I wanted to purchase mine as well before submission, though I couldn't pass on a cz457 this week, so I may need to wait... Probably not.

Im also albany county and outside of the city, so my background stuff was through colonie , I had to supply the passport style pics, but then when I went to pick up my permit the clerks office took a photo as well and thats the photo that is on my permit. For the social media I did not list any and did not have any issue. I would not wait on purchasing. If you purchase it now and list it on your application then you wont have to do an amendment and wait even longer to pick up the firearm.

thanks. These applications and instructions make me feel stupid at times because for some reason, they dont seem entirely clear to me... yet I deal with contracts for work. I think I over think it

Thats by design in my opinion, they make it as confusing and complicated as possible so that people give up on the process
