Time Period You Guys Have Been Seeing...

Just curious what you guys have been seeing with regard to time for hand gun permits to come in? Seems it's getting longer and longer.

 

I applied the first week of June with the NJSP, followed up the first week of September after not hearing a peep from my references... was told somewhat rudely I was in the system and being processed, but to date -- my refs have not been contacted nor has my $2 check been cashed.

 

Anyone else seeing longer wait periods?

Cant say I am seeing longer waits, Woodbridge is 3 months to the day for every permit.

 

Maybe try paying with a money order instead of check, maybe they wait to send the check out, wait for it to clear, and then start the paper work, but who knows.

I would call the NJSP firearms unit and explain how long you have been waiting and explain that you KNOW it doesn't take 3 months to run a background check could they PLEASE look into this for you and then tell them the barracks etc.

 

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. The quiet polite wheel gets ignored despite what the quiet polite wheel thinks about how they "might" delay its permits.

 

some of the current and former LEO's on the forum can tell you how long it REALLY takes to run a background check. I had an FBI check done in hours, to work on the FBI's premises. You can be sure criminal checks take no longer than a day and non-criminal no longer than three days which is WELL within the 30 day law.

yes...and No... Many Criminal checks go quick Because they are for Clearances or LE employment, Or, it's for someone in custody at the time..others take a while, and NJSP isn't as quick as you might think. We JUST got a hit back on a latent that was submitted in 1996 (no, that is NOT a typo) from a Burglary.... Guy is getting his charges 15 years later. Mutt has Nine..NINE Felony Convictions and he's out on the street.

Everytime I apply in Woodbridge the wait is 3 weeks. Not 3 months!

Good thought and I have done this... left a message... it doesn't appear anyone likes answering the telephone down there. I'll let you know what I am told once I speak with someone in the department.

Really ?!?!?

 

Im on my 6th handgun permit. 3 weeks has never happened! The police chief your brother in law or something ?

 

Last permits took exactly 3 weeks. Woodbridge does not have a police chief anymore. He retired and his spot is being filled by retired cops. If you are having a problem call the permit office and speak to Mary to find out the delay. She has always been upfront with me.

Sayreville here and each of the last 3 times it was right around the 30 day mark. It may take longer for some but I always check on my references and make sure they get the letter and return it and I also call the department at 2 weeks and 3 weeks in to see if there is anything that can hold up the process. I have averted problems each of the 3 times. I say calling and seeing how things are going and if there is anything I can do to help has assisted me in getting my P2P's.

I might as well be talking to a wall... two calls down to Trenton, another to the local barracks and ZERO call backs. I really don't want the added expense of having to get an attorney involved, but when do you decide to take that kind of step? After 5 months? 6 months?

 

Sooooo frustrating.

It is not impossible to get people on the phone down in Trenton. I have called several times on clarifications about legality/illegality on shotguns and rifles. I found them to be very helpful. Don't limit yourself to talking to one person there. Try to get anyone in the firearms department.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By leahcim · Posted

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
