I received this from my PD today...even though I handed mine in on 11/29...... If you are receiving this letter, you have been affected by the latest change in the Application Process for a Permit to Carry a Handgun in the State of NJ. This is because your application was sent (or about to be sent) to the Morris County Superior Court for approval on 12/22/22 or later. On 12/22/22, with little notice to municipalities, the Morris County Superior Court stopped accepting applications in anticipation of sending the entire process to the municipalities. Nearly a month later the process has been placed in the hands of municipalities. … so what does this mean to me? The state has made changes to the process. Pro: The Chester Police Department processing your permit in house will be far more streamlined than the previous ten to twelve week(on average) return time for permits sent to them for approval Gone is the judicial order stating which handguns you qualified with to be carried along with your permit. Now you may carry ANY handgun that you legally own and no longer have to carry a judicial order(letter from the court) with you any time you carry. Con: You’ve spent the time to already begin the process and my apologies for the delays The good news is the new changes in the process can be made and your original application can be modified to fulfill the requirements rather than start over from the beginning. Please contact us to set up an appointment to come and speak with me about the changes at your earliest convenience. Thank you in advance for your continued patience in this process.

I’m on the fence on that. They put on a good face for residents but if you ask around…..CT has had a lot of changes lately so I don’t know what to believe. The officer that does their firearms stuff seems like a good guy but he’s a little schizophrenic in his actions

I’ll be shocked if I ever receive it. At least I’ll be able to get PA

Interesting

This whole thing is FUBAR. I’m on day 45 and Chester Township hasn’t even sent out letters to my references. These public servants are all phonies

This is a typical jersey cluster F. I can’t wait till I get my house built down south

Great…

What town? I’m Chester Township. Lots of new “blood” here. The old chief was an anti so this will be interesting

I am submitting tomorrow. See you next year

This is the Chester Township procedure. Also if you email any of the people listed on the web page they never gat back to you. https://chestertownship.org/index.php/police/instructions-for-firearms-applicants

You dont need to do the SP66 if you have already had done one and are at the same address for the past 10 years

Looks like Chester Township is squatting on permits

Update. Still nothing. Tomorrow will be 30 calendar days. Will wait until 30 business days then bitch to my mayor and chief. That has worked for me in the past

wow that went off the rails quick

Yes. I called my PD and made an appointment to pay the six bucks and got a receipt. According to my PDs web sight they claim nothing gets processed until they get the money.
