Essex county mental health checks

[carl_g 568]

To whom it may concern,

 

I have been trying to apply for my initial NJ FID card and a p2p permit. My local PD has told me that everything is in order and that they are just waiting for the mental health check to come back from the county. There are several threads on this topic located in the "NJ Gun Laws" section. You can find them below:

I called the county adjuster multiple times and she had informed me that their records were destroyed in hurricane Sandy and that it would be a couple of months to do any checks. During a follow up phone call today, the kind lady had told me that they were still "around 4 weeks out" before they could process any mental health checks. Essex County is huge and all of the residents are being prevented from exercising their 2 amendment rights. I believe Evan Nappen has been contacted. Is there anything that your organization would be able to do to help the citizens of Essex County?

 

Thanks for your time.

It is important to note, it is not just citizens of Essex county, it is anyone who has lived in Essex in the past 10 years as well as anyone in a surrounding county who includes Essex as part of their mental health check.

Any reply from NJ2AS?

I didn't know that. Glad I moved out over 20 years ago.

We spoke with our attorney about this. He is already working on it on behalf of ANJRPC and promised to let us know as soon as he hears anything.

I called Bloomfield PD today to ask about the status about the application, and they told me that it would take them 6 months to rebuild the system. The Essex county mental health check is all that they are still waiting for, I applied back in the beginning of December. When I applied though they told be it would only be a little over a month and didn't say a word about the health check problem. Shouldn't they already have known back then?

 

I'm really not looking forward to waiting a few more months!

Essex county did not admit to the local PD's that they had any problem until mid December, so when they told you about a month they were being honest. This is what happens when everything is stored on index cards in a basement.

Spoke to nancy @ Essex County. She said 3/13 they would have the records back. Then she mentioned they might not be in alphabetical order..... Unreal...
