I have a few questions reguarding FID.

Recommended Posts

I am submitting my application for my FID on Tuesday hopefully.

 

The questions I have are to references.

 

For references is said friends no relatives, what range does that cover? Can I use in-laws like a cousin or uncle or just used to people who have no blood relation to either my wife or me?

 

Also should I apply for PP as well when I submit, even if I don't think I will be getting a handgun in the next 3 to 4 months?

 

Last question is it better to used my town Elmwood Park Police dept. or go to the State Police Barack's in Totowa.

 

Thanks in advance.

Use friends that are firearms friendly. Any anti-2A person can stop the application process in it's tracks.

 

Absolutely include several permits to purchase with the FID application. It's better to have them and not need them.

 

If your town has a PD, you must use them, not the State Police.

 

Welcome, and good luck. Let us know how long it took for you to get your FID Card and Permits.

Yes, include PP application. I was originally going to buy just a shotgun for home defense, but decided to also apply for a PP after reading about what a pain the process is. I am so glad I did. I bought a Remington 870 in December and a Walther PPQ in February, and I am so glad I got the handgun. It has been incredibly fun to shoot.

You can always get the pistol permit extended. IMHO, buy the handgun first. You can buy the shotgun anytime with your FID.

 

I've had a friend of mine use a brother-in-law before.

Stick with close friends as references to avoid any second guessing on what is considered family or not...

 

Get at least 2 pistol permits. Even if you use one or none, its a few bucks well spent.

Thats not always true as it is at the chiefs discretion and I think usually they re-new but its not a given. Just ask what their policy on that is, also if its before or after the expiration date as that too differs. And get the PP's they cost next to nothing and you'll have no regrets later.

Thank you everyone for the answers.

 

Of course I thought of a other questions.

 

Does the references need to be NJ residents or doesn't matter.

 

What ID is required when filing the paperwork.

 

I have other questions but I will make other post about them were applicable.

 

Thanks.

      Hello all,
      Some opinions please.  I am a long time NJ resident and also a resident in SC.  I spend 8 months out of the year in NJ out of necessity.  When I leave NJ I carry everywhere as I have multiple CWP's.  I have purchased many pistols legally in NJ over the years.
      I was thinking about getting some new permits to pee...(my term for the Pistol Permit) but with all the BS that had been going on I was thinking about refraining.
      I also have completed all the NJ CWP permit applications, but I am not sure I am actually going to apply.  I don't need to put up with the NJ BS.  To me it's insulting.  Plus with all the restrictions coming and being tied up in the courts for probably years, it may be just a futile exercise.   I would rather just leave when my house is build in SC and buy it there.  Once I switch my license to SC, its cash and carry for me.
      I have the old, non-expiring FID.  What I do not want to happen is if I go apply for new permits to pee, that my FID gets converted to an expiring one and then I have to pay a renewal fee.   
      I did read the new regs and it looks like they are grandfathering old FID folks to the non expiring one but this is NJ...what is written in law is usually ignored by the class warfare system we have here and the horrible mentality and attitude of some of these LEO's and NJSP officers that think their personal bias is important and the sneers you get when you go pay the $2.
      Am I being paranoid?

      I just got my FID for long guns, although I don't know anything about guns or ammo. What is a good gun to get my hands on that will help me learn more but won't break the bank, at the same time being ideal at home defense?

      Hello,
      I have two questions regarding FID application. So I have seen three psychiatrists for ADD, and while I know this is not a disqualifying factor, I do not know the exact dates or years that I attended, and mind you that I am currently 20 and attended from ages around 7 to 17 or 18. This is a problem because the application asks this, and then asks for the names and dates of such occurences. Is it okay if I state that I do not know the dates of such occurences, or if I give the date estimations of which (I do know the names)? 
      My second question is regarding references. I do not know any police officers well enough to be able to ask them to use them for my FID, so will two friends that I grew up with do just fine? Thank you.

      After reading so many references to the new FARS application and registration system, I stopped by my local PD to check it out. I believe it’s worth mentioning that not all PD’s are currently using the new system. So, before paying any fee’s or signing on to FARS you should check which system your PD is using.
      Sorry if this info is redundant to another post, again thought it was worth noting as all fees are non-refundable
      Firearms Application & Registration System (FARS)
      The State of New Jersey is now accepting firearms applications for Firearms Purchaser Identification Cards and Pistol Purchase Permits electronically. 
      The following Web site will allow an applicant to apply for Initial and Duplicate Firearms Purchaser Identification Cards and Permits to Purchase a Handgun: 
      https://njportal.com/NJSP/FARS
      If you reside in a New Jersey State Police covered area and are certain which NJSP Station you are applying through, utilize the following ORI #’s to apply.  If you are not certain, contact the NJSP station to obtain the proper ORI before applying.  All fees are non-refundable.
