    The attorney general just announced these new changes: http://www.nj.gov/oag/newsreleases16/pr20160408a.html

     

    Trenton, NJ – Acting on Governor Chris Christie’s commitment to ensure fair and consistent application of the state’s gun laws that respects individual’s Second Amendment rights and protects public safety, the Office of Attorney General announced a directive and guideline issued by Acting Attorney General Robert Lougy, and a regulatory change to align the regulations governing the issuance of a carry permit with New Jersey Supreme Court precedent interpreting the statutory standard of justifiable need. Taken together, the changes will help ensure all applicants receive efficient and uniform consideration in the processing of firearm permit applications.

     

    A Regulatory Change For A Handgun Carry Permit To Align And Harmonize The Definition Of “Justifiable Need” With New Jersey Supreme Court Standards:

    • Published in the New Jersey Register on March 7, 2016, the regulatory amendment will provide greater objectivity, consistency, and clarity in the application of this standard.
    • The regulation adds "serious threats" to the circumstances that could demonstrate a special danger to the applicant's life - including evidence of serious threats that are not directed specifically at an individual but which establish more than mere generalized fears or concerns - that a private citizen may specify in a written certification of justifiable need submitted with an application for a permit to carry a handgun.
    • The amendment also clarifies that the issuance of a permit to carry a handgun can be based on a special danger to the applicant's life that cannot be avoided by other "reasonable" means, rather than by “any” means, as the regulation currently provides.

    A Guideline On The Reasonably Necessary Deviations In The Course Of Travel Exception For Transporting Firearms In New Jersey:

    • Currently, the law allows a limited degree of deviation in the course of travel when an individual is lawfully transporting a firearm. People may transport a firearm that is unloaded and properly stored and in prescribed circumstances without a carry permit: to and from their home and business, hunting, shooting ranges and while moving between residences. New Jersey law allows, but does not define, “reasonably necessary” deviations in the course of that direct travel.
    • The Study Commission found a lack of clarity in the statute that creates a risk of disparate and inconsistent application by law enforcement.
    • The Attorney General is providing guidance through this directive to law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the law is administered uniformly throughout the state. The directive sets forth a balanced approach for law enforcement and prosecutors to employ to determine whether a deviation in the course of direct travel between two points with a lawfully-possessed firearm is “reasonably necessary,” considering the nature, purpose and extent of the deviation from the firearm owner’s direct route.
    • While not an exclusive list, some examples of stops or detours in the course of travel to or between locations that would qualify as reasonably necessary include: collecting and discharging passengers; purchasing fuel, food and beverages, medication, or other needed supplies; using a restroom; contending with an emergency situation; or driving around a traffic jam.

    A Directive For Uniform Statewide Practices And Procedures For Issuing Firearms Purchaser Identification Cards, Handgun Purchase Permits, And Permits To Carry Handguns:

    • The Study Commission’s report noted complaints by firearm permit applicants about variations in the practices and procedures used by licensing authorities issuing Firearms Purchaser Identification Cards, Handgun Permits and Carry Permits, including processing delays well beyond the 30 days prescribed by law and the imposition by some licensing authorities of application requirements that exceed the state permitting statute.
    • The Attorney General directive requires licensing authorities simply to follow the law by processing permit applications in a timely fashion and limiting application requirements to those prescribed by statute.
    • To increase transparency in the permitting process, the Directive requires licensing authorities to submit, annually, data on the number of ID cards and handgun purchase permit applications filed and processed per month over the year, and the length of time it took to process those applications. These statistics will be posted annually on the Division of State Police web site.
    • The directive also envisions a more efficient and consistent application process, requiring the State Police, within 9 months, to develop and disseminate to licensing authorities standard protocols promoting best practices for reviewing, investigating and acting on applications for firearms purchaser identification cards, purchase permits and handgun carry permits.
    • Finally, the Attorney General will consider how new technology might streamline the processing of permit applications by directing the Superintendent of State Police, within 45 days, to convene a study group and report its findings to the Attorney General within 180 days of the group’s first meeting.

     

    Big win for us.  Especially the part making issuing authorities accountable for their actions.

    I used to have a Cherokee140 with a 160 HP overhaul. I stopped flying in 2001. However, my son is going to aviation school to be a pilot...I miss it but it was too expensive once my partner passed away.

     

     

    Sorry to here that, about both flying and of course your partner.

     

    It's continued to get pricey with Av gas situation.  Improved a bit lately, but way more expensive all around than when I first started.

     

    Good luck to your son. Kids have all the fun!

     

     

    Been considering going to aviation school.  Does anyone have any input or advice whether I would be able to get a career in this field?  I've heard a lot of negative things about trying to get work as a pilot so it has kind of made me shy away from trying.  Sorry for hijacking your thread.

    I plan to leave this state ASAP.  My entire family hails from PA, and I have no idea why my parents chose to move from PA to NJ over 40 years ago...My parents live in a nice quiet section of SJ, and my house is in a nice enough area as well, but this State is a cancer.  Too many people fighting over too few resources and jobs.  Got my eyes set on PA, just have to scope out which cities are the nicest and also have reasonable cost of living.

    Jersey Winers better WTFU and lead the charge. I'm sick and tired of hearing why the NRA does nothing in NJ, while the winers all sit on their hands and take it you know where.  You want national support, then lead the charge.  WE LOST four seats in the last election, with the lowest turnout ever.  Where were our 1 million gun owners then? Sign up more new members than ever, then ask for support.  Legislators respond to votes and cash, nothing else.  Who knows in the next round of taxes to be levied we may just get support from unlikely sources.  This state is broke, period.

     

    Liberal state filled with liberal pussies

    Interesting article released by the NRA Institute of Legislative Action on New Jersey firearm bills released today pertaining to domestic violence: https://www.nraila.org/articles/20160405/new-jersey-committee-advances-flawed-domestic-violence-bill

     

    They are promoting this article on Facebook and other social media platforms, and I found the comments quite amusing.  The official account actually responds to a lot of pissed off NJ residents commenting on the post with their feelings about the NRA-ILA: 

     

    FB User: "1. The NRA abandoned NJ years ago. You guys bail out on us !!! 2. Hell yeah this bill needs to be defeated !!! 3. NRA help us in NJ, ball up !!!" 

     

    NRA Official: " If we abandoned you we certainly wouldn't be reporting or lobbying against this bill. NRA is actively involved in NJ. Our State Lobbyist for NJ lives in NJ as does one of our Board members who also serves as President of the Association of NJ Rifle and Pistol Clubs."

     

    FB User: "Just my two cents.. But I see it as you stopped fighting for NJ and North East gun owners long ago. because you were scared of making things worse for the rest of the country due to the crazy gun laws they pass here.. We have no concealed carry, can't even take a gun out our home to go shoot without worrying about being arrested for years.. No me and my family NRA members too belieave you abandoned us.. NJ gun owners have to hope you guys win something in a southern state or mid west state that will one day help us.."

     

    NRA Official: "We haven't stopped fighting in NJ or any other north eastern state. We're just fighting an overwhelmingly anti-gun legislature in NJ which makes the fight extremely difficult."

     

    Sure, they might be "reporting on this bill", but imo they don't really give a damn about us and know that fighting NJ will be an uphill battle for them.  I believe they only reference and report on NJ as way to point at us in front of the rest of the country like, "Look at these guys, they are like trapped rats, you don't want to be like these guys do you?! Send us more money or this could be your state soon".

     

    As for the bills referenced in this article, domestic violence is a great way for liberals and (D) politicians to tug at the heart strings of the general public.  We take people who are (maybe or maybe not) guilty of committing a crime, and label them for the rest of their lives as well as take away many of their other rights...Which in some cases is justified but in many others is beyond the scope of reasonable punishment.   Mind you, just the accusation of DV can be grounds for some people losing their careers (especially law enforcement) or lose their 2A rights.

     

    But, you know, it's for the kids.

    OK, update on this...got a call back (within a 3 hours of leaving a message). Captain of the unit apologized for the delay, said the unit was inundated after the San Bernardino shooting, but he said everything was done/cleared and that I'd have the new FID and permits next week. Considering the horror stories I read hear about delays and additional hoops in other towns, I have to say that 6 weeks wasn't awful (keeping in mind that I applied for the 212A background check two months earlier).

     

    One important note, going back to the OP - NONE OF THE FORMS HAD TO BE NOTORIZED.

     

    Been trying to get into contact with the head of the FIU, do you have the extension for his line?

    Wait for a denial letter, if one is coming. Appeal if yourself and save the money. You have nothing to prove. The burdon is on them. If the Superior Court Judge rules in their favor, reapply, get denied, then hire an attorney.

     

    Sent from an undisclosed location via Tapatalk.

     

     

    Great advice and I was considering this option.  Any guage of how difficult it is to file the appeal?  Any guidelines or user-generated process for filing an appeal, and by that I mean is there already an existing thread or website with information/tips/tricks for filing an appeal?

     

    Thanks again
