this is the toughest part of the process

who to ask?

you want to make sure that they are going to write you a good recommendation, so it has to be some one you know (and trust)

asking random people at work probably is not a good idea, especially in
a county like westchester, where probably a good portion of the people
are gun phobic

become a member of a local club and see if any of the members will
write for you...this could take some time, though

big reminder/suggestion: after you finally find people to write for you,
follow up with them to make sure that they do actually write the letter
(dont be a p.i.t.a. about it, but one of my writers took like 3 months before
he finally wrote the letter and slowed the whole process)

another writer, initially willing, withdrew himself, as he felt that he would
jeopardize my process since he had committed an indescression as a youth
(i think that they check the backgrounds of the writers)

good luck and hang in there!
it is worth the wait and the hassle
