    Do they carry them in stock in the local store or is it online only.

    35 days since they received my application, Online status reads initial review complete and says its incomplete and letter will follow...no mention about photos or blurred prints so who knows what that means. Wish they just e-mailed me about what they need.

    Call them they helped me make corrections with an email.

    Thanks all for the replies.  I recently attended a basic Firearm home safety course through ROC Training.  Definitely learned a lot, but it was a "hands off" class so to speak.  I plan on being a member of the Union Hill Gun Club once I... actually... you know can legally purchase a gun! But I was told I can take individual lessons there they will bring out any firearm I want to try so I thought that was cool.  I plan on doing a basic pistol shooting course when I can some time as well as some individual lessons.  I am in the market for a Range bag/case I already know what case I want to transport my firearm in but I am having difficulty settling on a case for ammo, eyes, ears etc.... I heard Pelican cases are great, what do you all think?

    Check out Harbor freight very good cases at a great price.

    Did the online check, got the "in progress" too. Says they'll contact you by phone or mail if there's a problem. I don't plan on contacting them for awhile since they state it could take 90 days or more to complete, just hoping there's no issue with the prints since I'm sure everything else is good.  Good luck everybody.

    I contacted them told me a had a mistake on the application. Reached out on the phone they sent me an email application and resent it via email. Received my permit in 27 days.

    Both my wife and I applied at the North Port Dept. Of Agriculture office in FL on 6/4 as we were there for vacation. Hers was issued  on 7/19 mine on 8/2 so both were less than 60 days.

    If you're going to be in FL it's much easier to apply there as they take digital print and photos at the time of your application. We both submitted hunters Ed course for training. 

    The personnel at the office were very professional and courteous as well as helpful. Basically the complete opposite of dealing with a government agency in

    Samian,

    Couple of questions if you don't mind. Were the prints you had done in Blackwood inked? Can I ask what it cost for the initial card and extras? They were stamped Hamilton Twp PD, would that be the one in central NJ near Trenton?

    Thanks,

    Ben

     

    Mike,

    Nice to hear they let you correct it via email. NJ would have probably required you to resubmit the whole thing.

     

     

     

    Yes I'm glad I reached out before they would have put my app on hold and mailed me a.letter to resubmit.  They were extremely nice on the phone and chat. NJ is a different story although the PD in my town was very nice. But it took 6 months for my FID.

    If anyone cares, just did an online update, says fingerprints are ineligible to do a proper background check. Said I would be receiving a letter on how to resolve the issue. Oh well, just another bump in the road, I wonder if any of this is what our founding fathers envisioned. The quest continues.

    Sorry to hear. hopefully you can resolve it quickly.

    Online status now says permit issued 8/2 so it looks like the delay was as I suspected. Background check didn't come back quickly so I went to the check it later pile until they got the all clear. My wife's arrived about 10 days after issue date so I should have it by the end of the week.

    mine was issued today so it 10 days to receive it?

    Thanks for the info. i mailed it out last month, so at this point wait and see. Hopefully with the virus doesn't slow things down. Yes i heard dealing directly with the Florida agencies are night and day to ours here in NJ

    So how long did the process take?

    Printed and mailed mine too. I requested fingerprint cards from the Florida website, they came in a little over a week and didn't cost anything. I already had a cert form taking the NRA Pistol class, and a couple of passport photos I got from AAA for $10 when I re-upped my passport. I took the card to the Mercer County Sheriff's Office for the fingerprints, no charge. Packed everything up with a check for $97 and mailed USPS. If you don't have any certs or photos or just don't want the hassle it's probably worth it to pay for the course.

    That's great that the PD did that. Not sure if mine even does it. Now looking to do Utah one.

    What scores does the live fire part of the Florida license course require for qualification? Is the applicant limited to the gun they qualify with?

    Roctraining has the course, pic, fingerprint card with local police there to initiate. they go over the application,  they recommend not to do it online. print and mail. Cheapest around in NJ. Highly recommend.

    @Mikep, @bennj: Did you get a letter, or do the on-line status check to see if there was a problem identified? As I mentioned, you can also call to check status. The Florida Dept Ag employees I spoke to were uniformly super polite and helpful. None of the "WTF do you want?" attitude typical when you contacting a NJ "public servant". However, if you want to do that, you best be pressing the "dial" button at 8:00 AM sharp, as the queue gets long very quickly...

    I've done the online check,  it states in progress. it's only been a couple of weeks. Just want to ensure all paperwork is good.

    I emailed the detective in charge with the confirmation number, he normally responds within a day.  He stated that they have the request but they are still working on Nov 2020. He will see if he can speed it up. We shall see.

     

    Good luck
