JonMann84 0 Posted October 23, 2013 1. Initial FID and 1 PP 2. Hazlet Township 3. Robert Dispenza, Special Services 4. Start to finish 2 months 5. No additional docs required 6. Mr. Dispenza is extremely helpful and rather fast considering he works 2 1/2 days a week. (Mon, Tue and half day on Wed). Mine was also held up 30 days due to a moron who agreed to be my reference then got all nervous he had to sign the paper. What are friends for, right?!? The detective did originally forget my Pistol Permit, but had it ready the next day for me. He told me the process with him typically takes 2 1/2 weeks, guess I am lucky I live in Hazlet.. I know Old Bridge is brutal, took my buddy 8 1/2 months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D. Stallone 1 Posted June 5, 2014 There is an error in my entry on the form. It says I applied on August 24th of this year, it`s supposed to say April 24th. I must have selected August by mistake. But with Aberdeen, it took 40 days from submission of forms to receiving on FID and 2 p2p`s. Applied April 24th, received June 3rd. P2p`s and FID were dated for June 2nd.

Wile E 0 Posted June 16, 2014 Just went to Lacey PD today to get a permit to purchase a handgun (already have FID). They have a form titled "Firearms Application Instructions" which clearly states "This process may take several months." (see attached) What happened to 30 days? Will update when permit is received. UPDATE: Received call on 9/19/2014 from detective re: employer clarification. Received call on 9/24/2014 that permits were ready.Total 100 days...I guess that's what happened to 30 days. When I asked why it took so long I was told the detectives were very busy. lacey.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Less then 72 hours and permits were in hand What?! 3 days for permits?! Damn. I'm jealous I am waiting for my permits since the beginning of May, and it all halted because the detective can't reach one of my references over the phone, and my reference (despite trying numerous times even with me being with him and leaving messages on a voicemail) can't reach the detective...

Detective commented they lose about 1 in 10 requests. Something about that is off. When I met with the Detective who did my paperwork he acutally laughed and said he would have my mental health check back by the next day and made mention that, thats the quickest aspect about the whole process.

Wow. I spoke with Connie in Woodbridge and she stated the mental health check is the lengthiest return time out of the whole process. She said it could take 2-3 weeks but that I was lucky because I don't have "Smith" as a last name. For me it'll be three weeks this Friday since I applied. Fingerprints are done and they have my references so now I just gotta wait. At least I completed NRA Basic Pistol last week with Dawn/ShootNJ and I'm constantly researching about difference handguns and accessories. Keeps me busy when work's slow.

I have one of those smith type names. They made some changes to the mental health process and What normally takes less than 40 days wound up at 3 months. I think in the end Connie did all the work to help me, everything else was back in less then 3 weeks my wait was just for the mental health. Could have made me mental!!

But other people in town still have waited months Interesting. I am guessing you got the blank reference forms from the PD before and just made more copies ? I will ask my PD. How about mental health check ? They dont run it everytime in your PD? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Police Department where you applied: Woodbridge PD 3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD: Connie (she's the best!) in the downstairs permits dept 4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit: 32 days counting weekends/holidays 5.

weekend_junkie 129 Posted September 27, 2014 Something about that is off. When I met with the Detective who did my paperwork he acutally laughed and said he would have my mental health check back by the next day and made mention that, thats the quickest aspect about the whole process. I live in Hudson county but used to live in Bergen county. Hoboken did a mental health record check in both to cover a 10 year history. As I'm told, Hudson took way longer than Bergen. On the bright side, i called the Hudson county office and spoke to a very nice gentleman there. He couldn't tell me about my record request, but I learned that he is an instructor, teaching Boy Scouts over in the Bayonne range. Good to know there are interested people somewhere within the system. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
