I have been waiting for this second shoe to drop for months. As a NJSP authorized RPO & Civilian Qualifier, I have only qualified a half dozen or so individuals. From the start of my qualifications, I included everything the state is now requiring. I covered safe handling, safe, legal storage. I observed that the applicant was familiar with the firearm of choice and operated it is a safe manner, I vetted their choice of holsters. I qualified each of them to the essential equivalent of HQC2 verbiage used by the state. I required a 50 round, timed, drawn from a holster, course of fire from 3 yards to 25 yards. I reviewed the then current Use of Force document supplied by the NJSP Firearms Unit and gave an exam on the content to each applicant. I required a score of 100% on the exam. I fail to see where my qualifications are lacking or falling short of the current NJ requirements.

Who can point me to a NJ or Federal statute that covers firearms in hotels, campgrounds or other locations in NJ one might temporarily reside? Would this be up to the private property owner? What about out of state travelers stopping for the night with NJ legal firearms?

The use of any level of force, as defined by NJ statute, must not be more than what a "reasonable" person would generally agree was correct & immediately necessary, given the circumstances of the incident. NJ has published guidelines concerning "Use of Force". The key word throughout the document is "Reasonable and or Reasonably Believe". I use the document during my Permit to Carry a Handgun presentation and qualification process. It was suppled to me by the NJSP RPO qualification program. LTC

I applied to Adams County, online, last Friday. I received an email on this past Wednesday to the effect that my application was approved for a non-resident carry permit. I had hoped to pick it up tomorrow as I am going to Gettysburg for the weekend. The problem is you need to make an appointment. The first available appointment is in early December. I called the Sheriff's office to see if they would take a walk in on this Friday. The answer was no. I then inquired as to how long they would hold the permit. They answered until I picked it up. I explained it might be 3-4 months before I'm in Gettysburg again. They didn't seem to have a problem with my timing.

What process have permit holders used to add additional handguns to their permit?

I picked up my permit on 11/10. Warren County. There was at least a dozen in the pile waiting to be picked up. Must carry the court order. Court Order refers to following current and future laws applying to NJ CCW. No other restrictions listed. Seventy plus days at the court. I ordered an I.D. carrier for the permit and Court Order. A copy of the court order will be kept in each vehicle I own.

Warren County has started to issue permits once again. I surmise that once A4769 was put on hold the judge had no choice but to review and issue or deny. I am told the judge is not in the court this week but will return next week. I was advised that my application should come under his hand next week and I would receive a call when it was ready to pick up.

About 30 days in since I submitted my application package at Washington Township PD, Warren County. All my references have been called as of last Friday. So far it sounds positive.

What are the required steps to add an additional handgun to an existing carry permit?

Update information on Carry Qualifications at Phillipsburg Pistol Club. As Stu stated in the previous post, we are restricting civilian carry qualifications to 8-12 Monday to Thursday. All scheduling has to go through me as the club's Executive Officer. My task is to keep this organized and to eliminate double or triple scheduling. Pricing is set by the individual qualifiers. The qualifying process is also set by the individual qualifier. Each may be slightly different but must still meet the NJ requirements. The club has set its own qualifying requirements that currently meet NJ's requirements and will be administered by me. I am a certified NRA Instructor in numerous disciplines that include pistol. I am also an authorized qualifier for NJSP RPO program. It still remains that the individual will be completely responsible for all remaining requirements associated with the carry permit process. Our portion of the process will be limited to those items associated with the live fire qualification, Safe & appropriate gun handling and NJ supplied information on NJ's use of force statutes. I can be emailed at [email protected].
