    You have to apply all over again through FARS. The PD in your new town will do the background check all over again, including the mental health records check all over again. Most towns don't require fingerprints all over again, but a few did before FARS. I don't know if they still do.

    In case you're wondering, yes it is duplicating the costs, work and delays all over again.

    ETA, you may as well apply for a few pistol purchase permits at the same time (while they are still cheap) as it is the same set of checks, all over again.

    Incredible, just more proof of unnecessary requirements to further complicate a basic right! He only moved 20 minutes from his previous township! His original card isn't even a year old.Thanks for the quick responses guys, I'll pass it on.

    After submitting my complete packet on 8/25, my PD called 49 days later on 10/13 telling me I could bring in my money order, which I did that day. On 10/27 USPS confirmed the money order was cashed. I know I am in for a long wait, but other than the alleged two permits, I have not seen, nor heard, any evidence of a single permit being issued. At this point, it is my equally unsubstantiated opinion that Mercer is still not issuing permits. Apparently, some county courts, as well as our governor and legislators, could care less about the SCOTUS ruling.

    You have received excellent advice here. Only thing I would add is to check if the extractor claw is holding the round. To check this, remove the slide, place the rim of a round in the claw and see if it holds the round while lightly shaking the slide. The green dummy round looks as if the extractor didn't grab it, and the next dummy round pushed it more into the chamber? The extractor is relatively easy to remove to check for gunk , but that's not many rounds through it. And I would never drop a round in the chamber like you're doing, you were right the first time. Good luck and safe shooting.

    I remember stopping in there several years ago. Had a good amount of safes on display, prices were close to msrp. The guy didn't try to hard sell and offered free delivery since I live about 2 miles away. I have been meaning to stop back in since he had a few barely scratch and dent models at lower prices.

    I don't know about that, isn't a mailbox technically government property? So we used to be able to go to the mailbox, now we have to unholster and leave it on the property while we retrieve the mail? If passed, it states a thumb break is permissible, I was planning on gluing a strip of velcro with snaps attached to my current holsters so I should be good to go ( insert sarcasm doohicky here).

    Not trying to be snarky, but it's a huge deal. National INSTANT Criminal background check should take 10-15 minutes tops, just like it used to be before people realized the need for self protection due to the rampant violence that was permitted (and often encouraged) across the country. Since the pandemic has abated (or never truly existed) maybe the NIC delays are due to the influx of carry permit applications that are sitting ignored by some PDs and many courts? And let's not mention the double 2 hr.+ round trips to the gun shop.

    I’m still waiting to hear if it works for anyone else, but it might be a way to fool the system into thinking you are from out-of-state even though you had to enter your in-state address initially.  

    I also went to PA because NJ had nothing for several weeks. In the few days leading up to my PA appointment I repeatedly tried rescheduling to NJ in the chance something opened up. No luck in finding one available. It's been exactly a month today that I submitted everything, so thinking maybe Easter?

    Good evening,

    I am familiar with what is stated on the NJSP website regarding restrictions on hollow point ammo. My question is if it's permissible to sell it to an eligible person in NJ. If so, I know I would have to post it in the guns for sale section, I'm not trying to circumvent that here, so no pms please. If it is permitted to sell it, I presume it would have to be at a range? Has anyone had any experience with this?

    Thanks in advance for any info

    My Florida permit is the credit card type. Even with my FPID trimmed as tight as possible, it still doesn't fit well in my bifold wallet. Makes me wonder if the gnomes in the basement of 125 W. State St. in Trenton just sit around scheming on ways to inconvenience us plebeians who pay their salaries. Either that, or they want to make us more easily identifiable by our man purses we need to carry.
