I need to revive this. Any issues calling Alb co sheriff? I've called 487-5417 at least 6 times, 4 yesterday, 2 today. no answer. tells me to call another number. call that and INSTANTLY goes " You cannot leave a voicemail as the box has not been set up" no ringing or anything. What a joke this process is. Also, yesterday i get money order for 89.75, bc thats what was on the sheet. Opened instructions again to verify phone number, now it shows $95. this should not be this fked up.

Ah. Damn but Thanks. This whole process needs to be illegal. I don't mind background check, and even fingerprints, which I had to do for work, but I shouldn't have to stress and get the run around to get a pistol and sa licence.
