He told me, "WHAT HE HEARD" (not gospel) was that for Atl. & CMC, the judges don't want to look at them and approve them - so what they are doing is having a clerk make a pile and once they hit 60 days or 90 or whatever it is, they are going to approve by default, not review and approve. He speculated that this might somehow give the judge an "out" if something goes down with the permit holder - i.e. Judge can say "I didn't review and approve it, It was automatically approved statutorily pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:58-4c."

ToddD 59 Posted September 12, 2022 Just had my hearing in Burlington County. Judge confirmed I’m the first in our county. Just asked to confirm make and model. Read restricted places to me. Carry IS NOT restricted in our vehicles. Said he’s signing today and putting in the mail and that I should have physical permit by the end of the week but that I am approved. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Variant 16 Posted September 12, 2022 I am going to start the process for applying now.

ATFspymen 15 Posted September 12, 2022 8 hours ago, MJFNJ said: ATFspyman here is a quote dated a week ago from Facebook page "Angel M. Dios Union county just started sending out letters this week as per the judges request. If yours was prior to his request to do so or pending, you may still get one. I reached out for a status to my friend who is the assistant criminal División manager in Union this is the info he got from the investigator working for the judge isenhour. He said permits should prob start getting issued in a week or two." another quote with good info "Union Criminal Division Criminal Division Main Number 908-787-1650, ext. 21250 Robert Eppenstein, Criminal Division Manager 908-787-1650, ext. 21152 Michael Jan, Asst. Criminal Division Manager 908-787-1650, ext. 21038 Roberto Toca, Asst. Criminal Division Manager/Pretrial Service 908-787-1650, ext. 21037 Annalisa is the person to contact" Hope this helps. You might want to hook up with someone who has access to Facebook so you can read the all the posts. Mike Do we need to appear before the judge? Also has anyone gotten a permit yet or are they going out this week? Are we getting any restrictions for our permits from the judge in Union County? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn’t that reversed? I did my prints first but my PD is very organized and noted they received them when I dropped off my paperwork. I followed the steps that were on Recoils website: Fingerprinting – All applicants must be fingerprinted for initial and renewal applications. Applicants can visit www.IDENTOGO.com to schedule an appointment. When scheduling, the applicant must provide the investigating agencies ORI# (contact your local PD for a number), a fingerprint service code (2F164B), and a contributors case number (Use the applicants last name, month, day, and year of application. Example: John Doe applied on Jan 8, 2022. Contributor Case Number: Doe010822.) Fingerprint results must be received within ninety (90) days of application.

If true, this reminds me of the bad old days in my town when it took 6 months of showing up to inquire at the police station before the Local Police Chief would sign a permit to purchase a handgun. Frankly, I have no idea what to do if a county judge decides to just sit and do nothing after receipt of a police department approved application. In other situations a person can go to the next higher level and bring an action in Mandamus to force the judge’s hand. Any such action should be taken with great care and planning and with the advice of an attorney experienced in such matters. As to Middlesex County — So far all we hear is crickets.

The courts can sit on PD approved applications for months, years who knows! The whole "car carry" restriction based on what I know is more isolated to a few instances whereas in our case it's a widespread issue. Please notify strikeforce if you haven't already done so.

Bushmaster1313 61 Posted September 12, 2022 Here is a quote from a case about mandamus in New Jersey: ” A writ of mandamus is an appropriate remedy "(1) to compel specific action when the duty is ministerial and wholly free from doubt, and (2) to compel the exercise of discretion, but not in a specific manner." Vas v. Roberts, 418 N.J. Super. 509, 522 (App. Div. 2011) (quoting Loigman v. Twp. Comm. of Middletown, 297 N.J. Super. 287, 299 (App. Div. 1997)).“ In the case of carry permits, I would say that if there is no doubt, the Judge could be compelled to approve the permit, and if there is doubt the judge could be compelled to hold a hearing and issue a decision within 14 days thereafter. Note: Getting mandamus against a judge can take a very long time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nooch450 41 Posted September 12, 2022 As far as I know the automatic approval of 60 days only applies to the police station or state police barracks. I don't think there is an automatic approval in the court system. There is a 30 day court procedural time frame. But without consequences or automatic approval what good is it?

If a judge wants to take the coward's way out and not sign, it's not the worst result we could have. As long as the permit gets issued. The judge can't both hide behind the 'I didn't review it' excuse and also add add a bunch of restrictions to the permit. Can't require a hearing, either.

Kadayo 39 Posted September 12, 2022 18 hours ago, Kadayo said: Reloaderz let’s you shoot the qualifier twice at that price. You can either do two guns or a second chance if you failed it the first time. They also let you put up to four firearms on the qualifying sheet. You only need to qualify with each type of firearm once. IE hammer fired postols and striker fired pistols. I qualified with my SR1911 and Glock 26 but my permit has 4 pistols on it. Good price if you ask me. GFH would charge $300 for 4 pistols for non members and you would have to shoot the course 4 times. One other thing I forgot to mention is that Reloaderz considers you holster certified after taking the CCW qualifier with them. Meaning you do not have to take firearms fundamentals ($253.23) and holster draw ($133.27) in order to draw from the holster while using the range. That was huge for me as a member.

That's the million dollar question. The PD has 60 days and the court has 30 per directive 6-19. What happens after the 30 days has passed? We cannot carry until the physical card is in our hands. 23 minutes ago, Lostboy said: I signed up for Law Shield and Anjrpc today just for this reason.

How can you get the permit without the judges signature? I do not believe there is any automatic approval in the court system. If they are refusing to review we are simply on hold.

nooch450 41 Posted September 12, 2022 Timelines for issuance are useless without consequences for those who don't follow them. Why should they care? New Jersey never followed their timelines before. Just look at the history of FID and P2Ps... 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
