    Successful approval in Passaic County.  Here is my experience.

     

    9/15/22               Successfully qualified @ GFH for 1 pistol with a score of 100%, surprising myself

     

    9/16/22               Submitted completed application to local PD

     

    9/20/22               Completed fingerprints out of state

     

    9/21/22               Two of three reference received their questionnaire

     

                                  Questions were the exact same questions from the FARS pistol permit reference form

     

    9/22/22               Questionnaire submitted back to PD by reference 1

     

    9/26/22               2nd reference submitted questionnaire back to PD

     

    9/26/22               3RD reference received questionnaire

     

    9/27/22               3rd reference submitted questionnaire back to PD

     

    10/5/22               Checked with PD on application and was informed it was on the Chiefs desk for approval.  Not sure of date application was sent to court, but the record tech @ PD said it would go over right after Chiefs approval.

     

    10/25/22             Contacted by Court for hearing scheduled on 10/31/22.  Court assistant was very helpful.  He explained how the process was going to proceed and was informed to bring ID along with copy of pistol permit to verify the serial number of handgun for permit.

     

     

     

    10/31/22             There was 25 applicants in court for my session. There was an earlier session and that session had 25 applicants as well as per the Court officer.  Officer reviewed how the session was going to proceed as well.   Judge reviews application, checks SN and then issued permit. 

     

    I was fortunate to be the first application called. The entire process for myself was about half an hour.

     

    My permit # is 493 for Passaic County. Considering that Passaic seems to be one of the few counties issuing permits a consistent basis, I believe the states estimate of over 300,000 new permits to be issued is nothing more than a scare tactic.  If all 21 counties were issuing at the same rate as Passaic (which we all know that they are not) a rough estimate would be in the area of 10,500 permits statewide (I used 500 per county) issued so far.

    Congrats on your permit! The truth is worse than you think and most counties have issued less than 500 permits so far. To be blunt, many counties have issued less than 200 permits. Passiac County is not the norm, I suspect 5000-ish permits have been issued in the entire state since the Bruen decision. To be fair, I do have to mention that many counties are increasing their issuance rate but, it remains low overall.

    Again, I appreciate your frustration, in reality, permits are being processed.  Slowly, and not in every jurisdiction, but they are being processed.  That's never been done before in NJ.  If everyone waited until the process was "worked out" somehow, there would have been zero progress.

    Respectfully, you were kidding yourself if you somehow thought is would be a quick/easy process.  NJ started processing carry permits for the first time EVER in June.  There was nothing in place to support the number of applications that would be submitted and NJ politics would try to slow things at every opportunity.

    I know waiting for something you want is a bother, but more progress has been made in the last 4 months than had been in the last 50 years.

    If you're not serious about carrying a firearm then just withdraw your application and forget about it.  One less stress point in your life.

    My prediction is that the Cancel Carry Bill will be voted on this week and pass. Then it will be up to ANJRPC, the NRA and the FPC to challenge this in court. This is NJ and all logic on firearms possession and carry is rejected. To say that banning citizens who have taken classes, qualified on a range, vetted with three background checks, from carrying in both public and private places is not only wrong it is unconstitutional. To hear both the state and local police associations state that they support this bill is frightening. Concealed carry holders would carry just as responsibly as police would. We are law abiding, peaceable and should not be prejudged as criminals.

    Not this week, I believe Scott Bach said November or December the latest this past Sunday when he was with Anthony Colandro (gun for hire) podcast.
