I've heard some counties can take up to four months to do this - and this was pre covid-19. I've also been told stories that you need to bring the handgun from the dealer to the police after you pick it up to "verify" the serial number with the police in some counties. Additionally it seems some counties charge a fee to remove a handgun from your permit when you sell it. Sounds to me like your county is much better than most in NY.

Yes, in theory - I have three people waiting on exemptions now, some as far back as mid February. Apparently the FIU is working from home right now and not processing any exemption applications. Normally they are approved in more or less 30 days.

I joke that NJ's computer system is from 1985...........apparently I might have overstated how new it is.....

From what I recall a house cannot be sold with a cesspool, so the seller would need to install a new septic system in order to sell the property to you.

From what I know the 90 day expiration and 90 day extensions (180 day max total validity) have always been in effect on NJ Handgun Purchase Permits since they were created in 1966. Does that permit from the 70's have wording on it stating it's valid only for 90 days unless extended for 180 days max like the current ones do?

They added the expiration date at the request of us dealers about 5 years ago. Before that you had to do the math (and hope you didn't get it wrong) about when the permit would expire

My understanding is that Remington and Winchester ammo plants are idle right now and there were some others as well but I'm not sure about CCI and Federal. My guess is this is primarily voluntary. Bottom line is that both guns and ammo are likely to be in short supply in the coming months.

That's what I've been told by my distributors - Glock, CZ, Remington, Winchester are shut down for now. Not sure if they were forced to or decided to do so on their own. Smith & Wesson is still operational from what I read.

When the start up production again................most ammo manufacturers are shut down for now.

I have gray 9mm in stock with 10.5" barrel, should have 5.56 with 10.5" and 12.5" barrels next week.

I have some pump shotguns inbound whenever the distributors can get them shipped out. With the way things are going with the NICS shutdown, they will probably be here before NICS is up and running again anyway..............

NICS has said that when things go smoothly they can do a NICS check in two minutes. The problem is when they need to investigate something, they could spend 20 -30 minutes doing one check.

Yup, and then the leftists will say business are discriminating against poor areas and that it's racism.

I believe Red Flag laws are not under the criminal statutes, but rather the civil statues, which is why you're not entitled to a lawyer in one of these proceedings if you are indigent. You still ask a good question, although NJ will probably ignore this new law when it come to Red Flag seizures just like they do with every other NJ law that conflicts with their antigun agenda.

This shutdown of NICS is making the case to get rid of handgun permits even stronger than it ever was. Handgun permits are completely obsolete now that FTF sales are banned. There is now no way to legally buy a hand gun without a NICS check in NJ aside from the very few limited exceptions where the buyer and seller are an immediate family member, a LEO, or a C&R holder. Add a shutdown of NICS on top of expiring needless permits and I think this is ripe for a lawsuit.

I asked the NJSP FIU about the legality of delivering ammo to someone (personally, not shipping it) and was told that all business must be conducted at the address on your license - so their opinion was it is not legal to do so. I wanted to know if I could do it because NJ law allows small amounts of handgun ammo to be transferred at a range without the need to have a NJ FPID card or other required credentials. Since I'm only about 10 minutes from Cherry Ridge (which does not sell ammo), I thought it could be something that could help out someone who forgot their FPID card or was shooting there from out of state and didn't have one. I hope this doesn't cause a problem for these guys.

I don't think they processed any checks today. I got one back yesterday morning from Friday 3/20 put in around 12:45pm, still waiting as of now for some checks put in Friday 3/20 either side of 5pm

Last one I got back was submitted Thursday 3/19 around 3:30pm. Haven't gotten back any from Friday

I'll be open since my business is classified as a "home improvement" store. I suppose "hardware store" could also be accurate. Regardless, I sell home heating products such as pellet fuel and firewood as well as hay which can be used as animal feed - essential products. Back in the day the main place to buy guns was in hardware stores. I still remember one or two that were in NJ that sold guns. Can't add more guns to a NICS check after it's submitted.

I did, there is no way to process a NICS for anyone

I can't imagine NICS is going to be down long. I just processed a NICS check for a LEO friend of mine for a handgun that he needs to carry as a duty gun. How is that non essential? Some departments - like Jersey City require their officers to buy their duty guns. They are going stop them getting a pistol?

There's still a fair amount of people with 40 cals out there, I've been selling a good amount 40 ammo the last few days - not as much as 9 or 45, but it's moving.

Over the last few days - gun sales were up some, ammo sales dramatically, especially yesterday and today. The distributors are wiped out of all the common ammo.

I'm only about 20 minutes from you. I don't have a P320 X-Five Legion on hand at this moment, but I do have a P320 M18. I can probably do better on the X-five Legion if you have a littler time to wait for it.

It would be cheaper to buy a new one. The paperwork gets archived and would probably take a long time find.
