[JaredC 6]

[Soju 153]

Go back some other time and find somebody who knows what they are talking about.

[tommy3rd 132]

you can also print a copy of the law and bring it back there. I think I saw the actual statute posted somewhere on this site.

[Joelk 61]

Just keep in mind that renewal is optional, and up to the police department/chief.

 

2C:58-3 f. Granting of permit or identification card; fee; term; renewal; revocation. The application for the permit to purchase a handgun together with a fee of $2, or the application for the firearms purchaser identification card together with a fee of $5, shall be delivered or forwarded to the licensing authority who shall investigate the same and, unless good cause for the denial thereof appears, shall grant the permit or the identification card, or both, if application has been made therefor, within 30 days from the date of receipt of the application for residents of this State and within 45 days for nonresident applicants. A permit to purchase a handgun shall be valid for a period of 90 days from the date of issuance and may be renewed by the issuing authority for good cause for an additional 90 days. Etc...

I guess you could go with this

 

N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.7 Validity of firearms identification card and permit to purchase a handgun

 

(b) A permit to purchase a handgun shall be valid for a period of 90 days from the date of issuance

and may be renewed by the issuing authority for good cause for an additional 90 days. In no event

shall a permit to purchase a handgun be valid for more than 180 days from the date the permit was

originally issued.

But it seems to leave "good cause" open to the department's interpretation. Does this usually fly through without any issues for everyone else?

Woodbridge Permits window took me 2 minutes to renew.. thats some bs your fighting thru

[Rifleman1 32]

You can also contact the State Police to fill them in on what transpired and who you dealt with. I understand that they may call the PD to straighten them out.

[Pizza Bob 1,488]

To say that there is "no such thing" is just wrong. However, it is discretionary and your local PD may choose not to extend them. All it really requires is the chief's signature and insertion of the new expiration date (180 days from date of issue). If there was "no such thing" ask them to explain the blank fields on your permits for the chief's signature and the new date. Good luck.

 

Adios,

POI: The extra block is for the renewal date. No extra signature needed. The person who renews it usually initials next to the renewal date.

[Maksim 1,504]

Renewal is up to the police department.

[JaredC 6]

From what I know, he's wrong, however you're still screwed aren't you? You can't expect them to extend them AFTER they've expired.

so how long is average time until i get new permits then when i hand in the paperwork

[JaredC 6]

they were issued 11/08/11 but i didnt get them until he called me on the 15th

HUH?

 

They expire in February.

The wole point of an extension is FOR expired permits. The extension date always begins the day AFTER they expired for an additional 90 days, no matter when u renew them. You could walk in on the 179th day, get it extended for 1 day and puy a pistol that day.

[Maksim 1,504]

Not necessarily true. Many departments will tell you no, as they can, and extensions are their power to do so.

 

Some departments will tell you to bring them in the week they expire, some before, some after. Some will tell you to just apply for new permits.

[matty 810]

What paul said, they aint expired yet

 

[PK90 3,570]

The renewal should be done prior to 90 days from the issued date, because if they are done afterwards, they have already expired. BTW, they expire on 2/6/2012.

Yeah, every PD is different, i was just giving an example of the extreme.

Nothing in the statute states an expired permit cannot be extended, only that a permit can be good for a max of 180 days if extended. I have in fact renewed permits a month expired. The obvious answer is to just ask your PD for future reference.

[PK90 3,570]

I was actually giving my opinion and not stating fact. Or the lack thereof.

[Vzguy 13]

I just submitted my FID and 3 PP, and was told by the Sgt, that the PP can be extended for 90 days, and then for another 90. 180 total.

[halbautomatisch 60]

They CAN be extended one time for an additional 90 days, to be valid for 180 days total

[M4BGRINGO 139]

I have to wait until the week they are ABOUT to expire to get them extended, takes about 2 minutes to get this done.

 

I don't think the PD has to extend them though, that's up to them.
