Week number 27 now for me...despite the detectives's assurance that it would by "next week" when I called to inquire 2 weeks ago. Uggh....

 

What letter are you? I called last week and left a message and haven't gotten a call back in a week.

Yes, they called both references.. I applied for 1 permit in early Jan.. then passed by about 1 month ago during my inquiry and asked to add a 2nd one for $2 more. Picked up both Monday AM.

 

 

Great news!!! Did he call both of your references? And when did you apply for the 2 PP's?

As I said two weeks ago, my file was moved to the detective's office for final review and reference calls. As of today, my references still have not been contacted. I am tempted to call the detective to see what is going on but I'm worried it would annoy him enough to put my papers at the bottom of the pile. Advice?

 

 

Aside: It's a sad reflection on the way things are that I am fearful to ask for something that I should be entitled to.

Well, after 219 days, I got the call that my permits were in, and I picked them up on my lunch. Last name 'P' in Belleville. Good luck to everyone else still waiting. Should be soon now.

Congrats Turbo. I know we had both been dealing with this from the beginning. Have fun!

I called the Belleville records department today.

 

Detective Giacobbe told me that they're processing the records roughly in the order that they were originally filed (which is good for those who have been waiting longer). He said he's got about 125 applications to go through but to expect a call when your permits are ready for pickup.

This really was a crazy experience. One thing I know for sure - and no offence to any LGS's who frequent this forum - I absolutely will not buy anything from a retail store in NJ. All my purchases with be private sales ftf or from retailers in PA. The entire system in NJ is broken and overpriced, and I will not support it.

Anyone with any news in West Orange? I was told last week, "if i haven't called you, it's not done." Which is actually less reassuring than what I was told previously.

 

LOL... Bloomfield PD says, "If you did not get the letter, that means it's not done!"

So I just heard from Nutley PD and they are telling me they still are waiting on my Essex county check. Something is fishy. Anyone else been told they were still waiting on their mental health check?

Letter H.

 

Just spoke with Gus and you may want to make sure he has your mental health check. He told me that was all he was waiting on for me, yet when I called Nancy at Essex county she said she had never received the request (even though Gus has a proof of delivery). So he is having to send mine out again.

I last spoke with him 3 weeks ago, he said at the time that they had received up to letter "G", and since I was letter "H" he expected my check to be back by the following week. I have not heard a word from him in the last 3 weeks. This makes me nervous that I might be in the same boat as you. I will try to call him tonight but I know it's rather difficult to reach him on the phone. This is pretty unbelievable. I think I'm on track to soon be the record holder for the longest wait during this whole fiasco.

Got lucky and was able to reach Gus on the phone a few minutes ago, luckily he told me that he had finally gotten my check back this week and it shouldn't be much longer. I am finally in the home strech it seems.

Hopefully he processes it and puts it for the Chief to sign this week so you can get them next week. Congrats!

You can buy rifles and shottys in PA as long as you have a valid FID that matches your license so long as the guns are NJ legal.

Sorry to hijack the thread a little.

Are ARs treated as a handgun or rifle?

 

It's a rifle, but the catch is that most PA AR's are not NJ compliant so you are going to have a hard time finding one that is OK to bring back into NJ. Once they cross the Delaware those normal AR's become super dangerous and start killing people all on their own.

I thought Bloomfield did references by mail... Or do they do it by mail and call?

      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.
