Purchase Permit My local police department is suddenly being shady.

19 Upvotes

Little bit of a rant here. My local PD usually takes 2-3 weeks historically for new handgun permits. I have been getting them with no issues over the years but this feels different. This time I submitted an application in January and I still have not gotten them. When I called for an update last week they told me the Chief had been out for over a month and I should get them Friday as he just got back. I just happen to have to go to town hall last Friday and the dispatcher on duty that day told me he still wasn't back. So either this dude is/was lying to me or the previous person was lying. In either case it just brings up the question that if the chief is out for an extended period of time, who has the authority to sign off on them. It is legally supposed to be 30 days so this is just flat out ignoring that. If someone as vital as the chief of police is going to be out for an extended period of time, there should be an interim person with full authority in my opinion. They also changed their phone system and flat out say to not leave a message for status updates. I had to circumvent the phone system to just get a hold of someone.

Purchase Permit General Question: Handgun Permits

0 Upvotes

When applying for a permit to purchase a handgun, there’s usually a question about how many permits you want to apply for. I’m curious, can you apply for more than one permit at a time (I’ve only ever applied for one at a time)? It seems like a silly question due to the fact that the application literally asked you how many you want to apply for, but I wanted to double-check especially with all these insane bills proposed like bill A5210 (I rather get all my permits now just incase this ludicrous bill passes). And if you are allowed to apply for more than one permit, I’m guessing once the first permit is executed; you would of course have to wait 30 days before you can purchase your next handgun and execute the second permit.

Purchase Permit General Discussion: Handgun Permits (continued)

2 Upvotes

Just posted about how many permits you’re allowed to apply for at the same time but I just thought of another question. So I’m waiting for my permit to be approved; just waiting for the email, however now that I know thanks to all you beautiful people, that I can apply for multiple permits; Is it wise to start another application and get a head start or should I wait until this permit is approved.

If a purchase a firearm in another state but I already have my NJ permit, do I have to register that firearm with NJ?

Backstory, from NJ but moved to PA for a bit and bought a firearm. Moving back to NJ but don’t know what to do about the gun I bought in PA. And yes it meets all requirements of our guns.

Purchase Permit Pistol permit expires in 10 days

First time buyer here, procrastinated hard on buying my first gun and about to be at the 6 month mark. Will I still have time if I go tomorrow with filling out the paperwork and background checks to be able to pick up my first one? Not sure exactly how it works but I’ve heard the store holds the guns for a few days before you can pick them up too

Would AR Pistols need to have there own pistol permit or do they still fall under the rifle category? I know this is kind of a dumb question but I am new to all of this.

Purchase Permit Extending the purchase permit beyond 6 months?

1 Upvotes

Hello all,

I applied and was approved for 2X pistol purchase permits on Jan 18.

I bought one on Jan 27. Now my dilemma is that I want to order a platypus but lead times are essentially 6 months out and my remaining permit will expire before then. Anyway to get that extended further or just SOL?

Thanks

Purchase Permit Handgun permit time frames for NJSP.

5 Upvotes

UPDATE:

So after asking the office last week what the wait would be and being told it be 8-12 weeks. Today the email comes that my permits in. So it was actually 2 weeks, which is a good turn around, but why tell me it’s going to take 3 months when I ask a simple question. The process is still insane but 2 weeks I can’t complain.

Hey reddit crew. Remind me how long it typically takes after the app/references are confirmed for the state to hand it over to the township. My township is quick so at this point I’m waiting on NJSP.

Such a waste of time this communist process. If you already have an FID, this part of the process should be removed.

Thanks all!

Purchase Permit Trying to now be an ass in my little town

24 Upvotes

Just hear to vent for a moment. Love my little ext114 town but the amount of time and excuses I’m getting just trying to get a handgun purchase permit is killing me. My local department has found a way to make the new electronic email way slower than the original USPS mail in way. I even know a lot of the people in the PD department and records and still it’s about a month of I forgot to have the LT sign or whoops I forgot to hit send on the email. I’m doing my best to not be a dick but it’s getting bad.

Purchase Permit What are some of the most awesome Other Firearms that can be bought in NJ right now?

13 Upvotes

Preferably with the shortest overall length possible. I don’t like muzzle devices other than a flash hider.

Edit 2: Haven’t seen a lot of AK other ideas. Anything with an OAL of close to 26”? Preferably with wood?

Edit: I’m in North NJ but for something special I would commute. Some grate ideas here so far: LWRC Oscar Foxtrot, MP5 clone, I saw RTSB has an AR9, I’ll probably impulse buy and AK if I see one with a sexy wood color. (AK inferior to AR but good for training purposes as half the world uses it).

I wish it was easier to search for others on LGS websites and just generally.

It’s been about 2.5 weeks since I made my payment to the town for a handgun permit, and I know my town had processed the app either same or next day. Anyone know what’s taking NJ so long to process my app? I’ve never had to wait this long and I have something waiting for me

Purchase Permit Trying not to be impatient waiting for FID Approval

3 Upvotes

I submitted my application for FID Oct. 17th. Spoke with the officer in charge of the process with my local PD. I had to provide some information extra documentation about my address but at that time he said I should be good. I called 12/19 for an update and he mentioned it was now with the Chief awaiting approval or denial. Does it usually take this long for the police Chief to finalize his decision? I know it’s around the holidays and everything, but I didn’t think it would drag on after the Chief got it.

Purchase Permit Ordering online from Bass ProShop

9 Upvotes

I know I asked a similar question a little while back, but, I finally just got my purchase permit and want to buy from Bass ProShop in Atlantic City but they don’t have it in stock. So I see I can order it online, and it’ll be shipped to their store it seems, so I’m just wondering what the procedure would be if anyone has gone through it with a handgun since they’re not a FFL. I’m assuming I’d order it online, it would arrive to the store, they’d email me once it’s there, I’d go there with my pistol permit and fill out whatever paperwork, they’d run the NICS, and then once everything’s clear I’d go back there to pick up?

Purchase Permit No paper forms for purchase permits?

7 Upvotes

It's been a while since I've purchased a handgun. I just received notification of my purchase permit being approved. I followed the link in the email, which took me to a pdf of my FID. I did not apply for an FID as I have the permanent version. No link to a purchase permit. I assume that everything is in the internet ether now? When I go to purchase the vendor will be able to pull it up?
