I beat the 3.5 month mark as my NICs check just came back this afternoon. Total wait time of 87 days. In 2012/2013 I waited almost 6 months and heard of some people waiting much longer during that time, so comparatively speaking I guess 3 months isn’t too bad.

Update: My permit has come in.

May20 I agree with you on the X5 Legion. Very nice. No I've always wanted to add a 1911 so I went with the 1911 TACOPS.

thanks for the info dilbert1967. I heard similar from my FFL although he told me that process you describe usually takes about 7-10 days for our local barracks from when receiving the approval email. I am going on 30 days now. Just hoping it didn’t get lost somehow as I have a $1000 Sig Sauer sitting in my FFLs safe that I would like to have at home with me instead.

I am with you csap32. I did mine on 12/24/19, had my references and background check completed before the New Year, received my approval email from the NJ Portal on 2/13 at 6:01am and I am still waiting for the call by my local State Police barracks. Have called several times and all I've gotten is "we will let you know when it comes in".

I received my approval email on 2/13 (received my background check completion email back on 12/30/19) for a handgun permit and I am still waiting for the call to pick up. I live in Dennis Township and go through State Police Woodbine barracks. Of the limited info I was able to get I was told that the permits sometimes pile up at the Buena barracks before being mailed to the Woodbine barracks. The trooper I spoke to said it usually takes about 7-10 days from time receiving approval email and my wait of almost 3 weeks is longer than usual. I’ll update once I finally get the call. Anyone else waiting this long?
