Is following up on the Permit Status more harmful than good?

[jgofnj 5]

How much is too much in terms of asking when the permits will be ready?

 

I received a call from an officer who told me everything was cleared and I should have the permits in 2-3 days. I waited to the 3rd day (this past Monday) and called to ask for a status. The woman said it would be this week, so all of a sudden it

Every time they exceed the day they told you... call and get a new day.

If it's really just waiting for 1 person to type up a form, pester them to no end. Seriously - they'll get sick of it and get it done just to get you off their back.

Yup

[sirsloop 1]

yeah, Don't think its not their job to take care of these FID apps or something... ya know they aren't doing you a favor by making you wait.

OK, I will call and ask again. I was just concerned that maybe it would just make them wait longer just to irritate me.

 

I just feel like saying, "What's going on, how long does it take to type this up, what have you done the past 5 days while it was ready".

 

I just don't see that going to well.

Just go into the station and said you got a call saying they were ready to pick up!!!

In my experience, asking does not hasten nor slow the process. Asking is just asking. Calling the mayor may have an effect on hastening the process however.

I'm pretty sure there is some kind of rule that unless you call and ask they just don't do it...

[sirsloop 1]

HAHAH... yeah! The world belongs to those who ask!

I usually pre-occupy myself until they send me a letter/call me.

Update. Finally got my FID and Permit today. Took about 55 days - not too bad.

Congrats, not too bad at all. Took 18 weeks for my last permits.

Do you realize what you just said? It's 2010. The electronic age. You just waited 55 days for what should have taken REALY no more than 3. What ever happened to email and electronic signature for your references? Not even to mention the state police...

 

You've just been milked by an antiquated system staffed by lazy beaurocrats.

And you love it. Ok so I can't spell...

Mine took 27 days and I know the chief

As far as pistol permits go this is acceptable, the law says 30 days..

Just followed up on my FID & PP yesterday - Apparently they're still waiting on 1 reference, who did send out the letter. Also another check which will take only a few hours... They re-sent the reference request in case it got lost in the mail.... sigh.

call your refrences and ask if they were done..

[Krdshrk 3,877]

I know they were sent in. My friend who sent in hers sent it in like 2 weeks ago. I'm figuring it got lost somewhere in the building.... sigh.

When I send in references, I keep a copy, just in the unusual case that they "get lost". :roll:
