I would have been tempted to say "Shooting bullets. I wouldn't use a gun to flip burgers, would I?"

lol. I don’t understand why they would ask that question, every US citizen has the right to bear arms if you’re not a criminal and mentally sane. It’s not like we’re doing anything illegal or out of the ordinary to legally own firearms... are identities are in they’re hands and the fbi

BTW, since you're apparently a newbie to all this, in some cases 1-2 months is breathtakingly fast. In my lifetime in NJ I have waited anywhere from five days to seven months. The bulk of the waiting periods were skewed towards the longer.

 

7 months is absurd... you’re aloud to contact your local pd to ask about your application, that usually helps. That’s what I’ve been told just be polite and make your point.

I applied 11/22/20 for fid and 1 pp.

Reference’s completed questionnaire by 11/23/20.

Fingerprints submitted 11/24/20.

Received email form state police 11/27/20 that background check was complete.

now waiting for local pd to give me the green light to pick up fid.

I called my local firearm detective 11/30/20 asking how long is the usual wait, and he told me 1-2 months, and that there’s about 1400 applications before me.
