jm1827 284 Posted March 25, 2013 Went to LPD today (3/20) to add a second p2p to my application, which they allowed. When I was done they assured me it would be no longer than two weeks for me to pick up my FPID and P2P's. They were very nice and extremely apologetic for the delay. Other then the VERY long wait it has been a very positive experience. Very pleasant folks. Glad your PD was apologetic, the NJSP have been telling us to basically "suck it up" things are busy and that is that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plode 0 Posted March 25, 2013 I may be finally getting my P2P's from NJSP Woodbine this week. I see they finally cashed my check for $6 for the 3 P2P's. 95 days and counting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Night Prowler 0 Posted March 25, 2013 Glad to hear that. I'm on day 97 and still waiting. Three weeks ago they called my references, and I'm still waiting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I applied at Woodbine as well. My check was cashed last week as well for an initial FID. I am on day 75 now. I hoping the cashed check means its at the end of the process and not the beginning.

anactivegrenade 25 Posted March 26, 2013 Applied for a couple handgun purchase permits back on 11/16/12 here in Linden. It's now 3/19/13 and I haven't heard anything back. I never had to wait more than ~6 weeks when I applied for the last few, anyone else in Linden having the same problem? We also have to fill out an extra form. Hey Rick, I applied back in 11/15/12, just a day before you. I've been calling them on a monthly basis, and nothing was getting done. I met with the mayor to complain, albeit respectfully, and he called the Chief of Police and the detective doing the FID paperwork. My application all of a sudden was "unstuck" and my reference letters were sen out, being the last thing to be done. That was February 27th, my references sent out their letters on March 4th, and I called yesterday as I've yet to hear anything. My neighbor's letter never made it to Linden PD -____-. So now I have to bother my neighbor again to have them resend another letter. This township definitely does not hold gun owners on high priority. Go meet with the mayor (go to the secretary, ask to meet the mayor to "discuss the police department", and if they ask why, say it's just a complaint - don't mention the FID until you meet the mayor, or else they'll send you to the door - wait until your actually sitting down with him in his office). Good luck. Edit: It's been 130-something days for both of us in Linden. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1LtCAP 4,259 Posted March 26, 2013 i just talked with a detective in lindenwold. we're in bad shape here. apparently, we're short detectives, patrol officers, and don't even have a narcotics unit. the detective whose job it is to do the firearms applications is wearing 4 or 5 hats. i honestly almost felt bad asking why the delay in getting my id. and i know he's not bullshitting me, because it's also what i heard from a prosecutor friend. the plus side, is that he said he's going to talk to the other detective, and see if he can get my stuff pushed forward a bit. no promises, but a very pleasant conversation though.

Similar type situation in Washington TWP SJ. Lost some officers, not able to hire new ones, etc. It is a mess. Coming up on waiting 100 days for my FID and P2P. Not confident I will see anything for several months at this point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not confident I will see anything for several months at this point. yea, what's been put forth to me, is that they're delibretley creating an emergency type...or a "needy" type of situation, in order to get the towns onboard with the new county police force. i personally don't like that idea, as i feel it will be incredibly detrimental to the towns using it.

SlipperyPete 0 Posted March 26, 2013 Well in Gloucester County they are trying to close the county jail, and use other county jails for the inmates. The claim is 10 mil savings, but who knows how they get to that number. It is scary. You take away the police, and you end up with nothing but problems. I feel for the officers who are putting their lives out there everyday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1LtCAP 4,259 Posted March 27, 2013 yea. lindenwold still has some nice areas, but i mean....when a prosecutor calls it "camden south", that says a lot, lololol. anyway, i'm gonna call that same detective next week, and ask him what we as residents/citizens can do to help them keep their force better equipped, and get back up to full strength.

jm1827 284 Posted March 28, 2013 I just got off the phone with the NJSP and was told that due to the volume of applications it will probably be another 3 or 4 months before my FID change of address is complete. I originally applied back in early December and am well over 100 days and counting and now looking at another 60 to 120+. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nikos 31 Posted April 2, 2013 Woodbridge Type: P2P permits Applied: 02/14/2013 Granted: 04/01/2013 Woodbridge usually cranks out the permits within a month but the rate of applications has increased recently setting them back a couple of weeks.

neon333 0 Posted April 4, 2013 104 days, and finally done. Although permits and FID dated a few days before I got the call. Same thing happened to me.

Redrum 0 Posted April 4, 2013 1. Application type: COA on FID and 2 permits 2. Police Department: West New York, Hudson County 3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD: Three different people but all were nice and polite 4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit: Applied 01/24/2013 and picked up on 4/4/2013 (70 days) 5. Documents required by the PD (aside from the standard application and the mental health release form) None 6. Notes - anything pertaining to the application process (unforeseen difficulties, chief of police calling your home, you hiring an attorney) They did knock on my door at 9:40pm one night to verify that I lived there. They did call work to verify my employment. All in all they were very nice to deal with and considering the hectic times they moved fairly quickly. I do know they are buried in applications. I went up yesterday to see how things were moving and they were nice enough to add a third permit. So COA +3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at it in a positive note, you will have a lot of time to stack up your money and buy ammo in the meantime. 65 days to be exact in union Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fmauto 0 Posted April 8, 2013 I sent in the standard forms to the Norwood PD for COA and one PP. I had everything in 3 weeks, this was back in Feburary. I delt with two different officers and they could not have been nicer or more helpful. They told me their biggest delay is getting the reference letters back in a timely fashion.

I called today and they told me that they sent it to the NJSP firearms division on 2/27 and it usually takes 30 days from there but with the backlog it is taking 60+ now so I shouldn't be looking for my FID before the end of April.

Chvl67 0 Posted April 10, 2013 I've focking had it with this. I want my welfare check, that shit would be issued immediately. This is completely unacceptable. At least the guys who have local PDs have "someone" to complain to in their Chief or mayor. Us folks who are stuck with the asshat State Police are stuck. This is such bs. I'm up for the lawsuit against the state for the interest on my un transferable PAID FOR firearms. And I'm about to lose out on another because the guy doesn't want to wait on my P2P even if I pay him now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
