Right, so I guess the only real solution here is to just always have them on hand. So for example, if I get them in January, they'll be good till June. However, assuming my PD takes 3 months, I should already apply in April so I can have permits from July till year end.... Then repeat in Sept for Jan of year 2..... this make sense?

Yes, but wouldn't that FFL then need to charge for at least a NICS when I return with a permit? Also, if I find someone to buy from, say on a diff forum, how can I trust that he'll keep it on hand (until I return with the p2p) after I pay? Thanks

I know, right? But my problem is that I like to buy things that I want and on my terms. In other words, I do not want to buy a pistol just bc I have a permit that may expire. I need to buy a pistol that I want and that I've researched. I can't buy under pressure/urgency of a permit. Sad reality here

Thanks for the reply. I'm not new at all to (the misery of) guns in NJ since I already have a few, but just wanted to know what people generally did specifically regarding p2p's. It seems your response is pretty much what I figured i.e. just always applying and having them on hand. I usually apply for 2 or 3 at a time. The awful part is waiting months, not to mentions $20 for the background checks and another $2 per permit... it's like $50 a yr on permits I may not even use!

So my PD, like most in the state, can take a few months to issue my pistol permits. My problem is that I like to periodically browse for handguns to purchase. Now, for an online sale, I can buy and have it sit at my FFL until the permit matures. The problem for me arises when it comes to a private/face to face sale. If I want to buy and avoid FFL and NICS fees, it would mean that I'd need a pistol permit ready. But since they can take months to process, this is rarely the case. Obviously one solution is to involve a FFL and pay more fees. One other solution is to just apply for pistol permits every 6 months since they are valid for that long (including extension). This way I suppose I could always be ready for a local NJ private sale (and let them expire if I don't find anything I like)... Would there be any legal problems with this? Any other ideas or solutions? What do you do if you like to buy pistols relatively often?
