New York State, even outside of Manhattan, does not appear to have changed anything.
They still want $340 for the application and $105 for fingerprinting. You then need 4 references. Then there’s the 6 to 8 month wait while some Neanderthal decides your case. Then your application goes to a licensing judge.

This process has got to be unconstititional.

Recently moved from CT to RI and have a CT permit. RI is supposedly a shall issue state but it's completely up to the state's Attorney General who refuses any and all requests. If you look up their "qualifications" it basically says that you have to "prove" that your life is under immediate threat and that there is no other way possible to protect yourself.

In other words, you can't possible prove this unless you bring someone who is threating you to act as a witness on your behalf!
