07002er 12 Posted January 24, 2018 I’ve only had to deal with two PD’s over the years for FID issues and P2P’s: Bayonne and Kenilworth.Bayonne had a couple of speed bumps laid out for firearms applicants. One was their request that you provide several “neighborhood references” in addition to those required by state law. Not only was that illegal, it was an egregious breach of privacy, as was their old policy (at least in the early 80’s through 90’s) of actually sending a detective down and ringing the doorbells of the neighbors on each side of you to see what they thought of you, and to inform them you were looking to purchase a handgun. They still want your employment information, and will send letters to your employer divulging your intention to purchase firearms, asking them if they have any objection, or reason to think it would be a bad idea. There used to be a “General Information Release Form” given to applicants, which would essentially give them authorization to utilize any and all means of investigating you and your background. The latest kink for prospective gun owners was their edict that they will not accept any hand written firearms applications.Kenilworth has their own firearms packets they hand out, which—besides the required forms—includes a “lifetime address form”. Yes, they actually want you to submit every address you’ve ever maintained....from birth. LOL.Needless to say, it was not easy or pleasant in either town to challenge them on these illegalities, but with a mix of politeness, firmness, numerous letters and phone calls, and copies of relevant statutes, the respective PD’s eventually did the right thing and processed my paperwork using only the state required forms.One thing that stays with me is the words of one of the COP’s, who said, “We knew these additional forms weren’t needed, but the state police told us to keep using them until somebody bitched about it”. Such a casual dismissal of the infringements they place on our rights.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GunsnFreedom 245 Posted February 8, 2018 I was perusing my town's Firearms Applications Procedures and came across this doosey for CCW. I draw your attention to number c. Most of this stuff is fine (although I did not know it was an extra $50) I thought it was odd that they include c since technically you do not need an employment letter of need or (not and) a PI licence. I guess they put etc so you could submit a personal letter for need? Permit to Carry a) Completed Application in Duplicate (you will need THREE ORIGINALS, NO COPIES ACCEPTED) with four (4) photos b) Signed Consent for Mental Health Records Search Form c) Employment letter of need and Private Investigator license, etc. d) Photcopies of past permits, Firearms ID card e) Fingerprints f) $50 Money Order (BLANK) g) Firearms Qualifications Scores, etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capt14k 2,052 Posted February 8, 2018 I believe Manalapan Twp is also in violation of the law. Only 2-3 days a month 4 hrs each day to drop off paperwork and pickup permits. Last couple times took me 7 months. Going to apply again Tuesday 10am-2pm. Lastly they will now only accept typed applications. Sounds like age discrimination to me.Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume NJ Court ruled safety and making sure a bad guy doesn't buy a gun is more important than law and Constitution. Even though criminals usually don't go through the proper channels to get their gats.Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They too are covered by the 30 days. If so would the court rule the same way being additional fingerprinting is not required? In NJ they likely would.

I believe the gist of the decision is that the 30 day clock doesn't start until all the information, needed by the issuing authority to make the issue/not issue decision, is in hand. This is totally disingenuous since the process is not transparent and the applicant has no way of knowing whether the info is in hand, and two, the decision was rendered based on the time taken for the fingerprint check. At the time of the decision that was done manually. We now have AFIS which returns fingerprints results in seconds, not days, weeks or months. It basically boils down to police departments flouting the law by giving firearms applications low priority, understaffing and/or personal political agendas of CLEO's and using the court decision as their get-out-of-jail-free card. If this system is to continue to be used we need transparency that allows us to see where our application is, within the process, at any given point in time.

45Doll 5,873 Posted February 10, 2018 And of course the statute doesn't say anything about how soon after the application has been filed a PD has to request the information they need. "Gee... didn't I request that info 12 weeks ago? Must have forgot. I'll get right on that. Maybe." I remember when I applied for my first FID and permits the local PD asked me "What do you want a handgun for?", then stonewalled me for over three months. The last (9th) call I made went like this: Me: I'm calling about my permits I submitted three months ago. PD: You'll have to speak to the detective. He's not here right now. Me: This has been going on for three months and I'm getting no explanations. I want to speak with the chief, and if he's not in I'll come down to the station and wait for him. PD: (pause) Hold on a second. (longer pause) They'll be ready to pick up tomorrow. Me: Thank you, I'll be in to get them.

Twospot 38 Posted February 20, 2018 Back in August I moved to Mount Holly. I've decided not to pursue CoA for my FID. I will vote with my feet finally in the summer when my lease is up here and cross the bridge. However, if NJ2AS is still pursuing these clowns, check this out: http://www.twp.mountholly.nj.us/content/386/384/408/1313.aspx First if you see they send a letter of reference to your employer. Second, they outright state on the website process will take a MINIMUM of 3 months! Can't wait to get out of this armpit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobA 1,235 Posted February 23, 2018 In the instructions in the packet you get from Kingwood Barracks it explains that your application can be returned if your hand writing is sloppy. And let’s not forget the NJSP load of crap about picking up their mail. If we can track a package online then why not this process? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However I do find the demand for typed to be discriminatory towards older citizens. No chance my father could figure out how to type his application. It's also an additional requirement that law strictly prohibits. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spawne32 37 Posted April 8, 2020 Quick question regarding the FID process. After you do the background check and make that payment, I know there still is a $5 payment required by the issuing police department. Do you pay that when you pick up the FID or before? I have not been able to get any answers from the local PD regarding this during the shutdown. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
