    I'm starting this thread hoping to gather enough data about the FID/permit application process across NJ to compile a reference for new gun owners. If you already have your FID, please consider making a post in the following format:

     

    1. Application type (FID/permit w/ existing FID).

    2. Police Department where you applied.

    3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD.

    4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit.

    5. Documents required by the PD (aside from the standard application and the mental health release form).

    6. Notes - anything pertaining to the application process (unforeseen difficulties, chief of police calling your home, you hiring an attorney, etc.).

     

    1) FID + handgun permits

    2) Haddonfield

    3) Det. Ortiz

    4) 30 days for FID, about 14 days for subsequent pistol permits

    5) None

    6) Seemed pretty cool about it. I liked Det.Ortiz and we chatted about firearms for quite a while.

    I've owned both. I still have the Glock.

     

    The Beretta is nice, but I don't like the DA/SA trigger or the fact that I can't carry it cocked and locked. I either want something cocked and locked (1911 or USP) so it's always a single action trigger or something striker fired that's consistent every time.

     

    I also like the larger magazine capacity for the Glock. (I have a Glock 26 as well that, ironically, I traded the Beretta in for)

     

    I do have to agree, the Beretta was prettier though :-)

    What firearms have you bought, that you now have no use for, dont practice with and now sitting in the safe collecting dust.

    All of them. I live in New Jersey where firearms are not needed, as the police are right around the corner to protect me. :cry:

     

    And if you needed them they probably will not be able to find you..

    :D

     

    Or make a left turn in time to get to you.

    Didn't we discuss Olmerte in the other thread?? Hehe

     

    But for real, if you shoot an intruder, the police will take your weapon and put in into evidence?? That's just retarded.

     

    It is, and they will. At least until the case is resolved.

     

    Like it or not, shooting someone is a crime, whether it's self defense or not. Evidence in that crime is going to stay with the police until the DA decides what to do, maybe longer.

    My Springfield TRP 1911 was about $1600. I think it's the finest handgun I've ever owned or even held.

     

    My Kimber Stainless Raptor II was about $1200. It's really nice, but not as nice as the TRP.

    I would add:

     

    - Make sure you have both held and fired the gun you want before you buy it. You may love the way it feels to hold but hate how it shoots, or vice versa.

    - Remember the size of the gun and its recoil are usually inversely proportional. A full size .38 will have a lot less recoil than a little 357 Airweight.

    - Get instructions from the store (if possible). Have them show you how to take it apart and put it back together.

    Even if the government wasn't involved, bonds have risks just like stocks do. It's entirely possible for a company to go belly up and the bond holders get little or nothing.

     

    It looks like there's a choice for bond holders: let GM go out completely and get nothing or have the government prop them up and at least get a little. Both options are pretty bad.

     

    Personally, I think the government should stay out of it. Almost any time the government gets involved in business or the open market, they make things worse, not better. If a company is so badly run that it can't stand on its own, tax payer help just prolongs the agony. We're not talking about Iaccoca asking for a loan, here. We're talking about a big old handout with lots of strings attached.

    Only experience I have with shopping in PA., is I purchased Black Powder pistols and that was cash and carry, no paperwork at all.

     

    You might want to think twice about posting a comment that would be a violation under NJ laws. As a NJ resident, it would not have been a legal transfer.

     

    Are you sure? I consulted a firearm's attorney and he said this was a legal transfer since it did not occur in NJ. NJ laws don't apply to you in PA. Also, since we do not have pistol registration in NJ, so as long as you have an FID card you are okay. However, my friend consulted another attorney that called this a legal grey area.

     

    I'd say the question is whether a black powder pistol counts as a handgun or not (and if not, what are they considered?). If so, you're a NJ resident buying a pistol out of state without a handgun purchase permit, which isn't legal.

    Please enlighten me as to why you consider it illegal? I'm sure you can site case law on it since you brought up the subject right?

     

    Probably since bayonet mounts are on the "you may only have one of the following" list.

     

    I didn't think they were prohibited in general, just in conjunction with another "assault weapon" feature.

    We all need to vote together as a block to have our voices heard.

    When we are tooooooo lazy/busy to vote, we can only blame ourselves for leaving our laws in place.

    It is time to take back this state and insist on not having our 2A rights infringed upon in any way, anymore!!!!

     

    That's just about the biggest over simplification of an issue I've ever seen. I vote in every election, yet oddly we still have no changes in the gun laws.

     

    You act as though us voting is the complete solution. If two candidates are running, and neither is promising to change the gun laws, exactly which vote do you would make a difference?
