    I think we are talking about 2 different things.  I'm talking about quotas (how many handguns you can purchase in a certain period of time) not how fast a PD must issue a permit.

    OK, you're right. To be frank, I've been in NJ my entire life and I'm so tired of navigating the minefield sometimes I just give up.

    To the best of my recollection there's never been an issue with the one-gun-a-month 30 day arithmetic. And I don't recall if there's ever been a lawsuit specifically about the fact of restricting handgun purchases to one per 30 days. I'll let others chime in on that.

    The requirement to issue a permit-to-purchase within 30 days is what I referred to, not your topic.

    Having said that, IMO any lawsuit to remove the one-gun-a-month restriction will/would have to go past the NJ Supreme Court to have any chance of success.

    If the $50 handgun purchase permit fee becomes law, that I think would be even more onerous.

    Ok I couldn't find that and I'm guessing t would probably have been before the Bruen decision.  Anything post-Bruen?

    Yes, it was way back after the statute was passed and many PDs were ignoring the 30 day mandate.

    Nothing post-Bruen, and there won't be. No one's going to waste their time and money. The current NJ Supreme Court isn't going to overturn itself for our benefit. You know, 'it's for the children' etc.

    I have to live within a 90 minute drive of JFK Airport. 

    Fly your own plane. Seriously. It's my understanding a lot of pilots that live up in Sussex County NJ do/did just that.

    I'm not being sarcastic. @Mr.Stu is right. You move somewhere you think will be within a 90 minute drive, and indeed may be on some days. Then on other days nature, construction, protesters, flight delays etc. intervene and it turns into three hours without breaking a sweat.

    I realize just 'flying your own plane' is a high bar. But it appears so is your career choice coupled with location.

    Good luck whatever you decide.

    There was already a challenge to the one-gun-a-month rule years ago, and the NJ Supreme Court already ruled it's good to go.

    This is New Jersey, where the 'law' means what they want it to mean. Public interest, safety, and all the rest. The thirty day clock will start when they feel like it. So shut up and wait. We don't need no stinkin' statutes.

    Somewhere on this site this is discussed if you want case specifics.

    She has indicated she wouldn't sign this. Believe her? And what about Phil?

    N.J. Dems are fast-tracking changes to public records laws. A lot of people are alarmed. - nj.com

    NJ OPRA: State Senate moves bill that would gut transparency (njherald.com)

    "Keep 'em in the dark."

    NJ Open Public Records Act under assault by Trenton lawmakers (njherald.com)

    The bill would allow state and local officials to sue any resident if they decide a records request is intended to “harass a public agency.” Worse, officials could simply refuse to share records they think might result in “harassment” — an open invitation to hide embarrassing records when officials view public criticism as harassment.

    I knew about the Romeo red dot series, but hadn't really looked into them. After this post I read up the detail on the 5 version.

    The one I ordered arrived promptly yesterday, and I've had a chance to handle it. Did a quick mount to check it out, and it looks very good. I'll have to put it to work now that the weather's breaking.

    Thanks again @High Exposure for the lead on that bargain.

    But that’s only for the out of state permits, residents it’s a walk in while you wait and $20-25

    While it's true granting resident LTCFs in PA is almost universal, legally it is still at the sheriff's discretion, and procedures vary from county to county.

    My wife and I applied for our resident permits, and received them by mail exactly two weeks later.

    Pretty broad brush there, and untrue.

    I thought I was careful to say 'many', and not 'all'. I accept your assessment since you are more tightly coupled into LE than I am, and I agree with most of it in reference to New Jersey specifically.

    Nevertheless, over the years I have personally heard NJ LE officers dispense opinions on firearm statues and their implementation that ranged from nonsense to vaguely disguised intentional misinterpretation. In some cases it was obvious they never even read the statute. In others it was clear they intended to ignore them.

    Perhaps I should add none of those 'conversations' were on this forum.

    I should add that behavior carries up into the LE hierarchy and is by no means confined to LE 'on the beat'. You need go no further than our current DOJ and FBI to clearly see that 'law enforcement' and interpretation of statutes comes in different flavors. Depending on circumstances.

    and he was told by the state police when he did his, that he needed a qual sheet for each he wanted to carry, he had the statue printed about “permit shall be good for all owned by the person”  they said “it didn’t matter, they were told this is the process”

    Unfortunately, this represents the LE mindset of a lot of NJ officers. Not only are they ignorant of the law, they assume they can make it up as they go.
