That's amazing.

i know that my first planned purchase once iI get mine will be to scour the earth for the CZ 75B Matte Stainless..(or Hi-Polish).. but that's just me.

You probably already are aware of this but if you find what you want before the paperwork gets to you, hold/pay in advance/order the item and have it held for final purchase. It's getting harder to find a specific gun.... even a plastic one

I'm patiently waiting myself. The last go around it took two weeks to get my FPID and p2p from the day I got finger printed. So far it's been a week... keeping my fingers crossed!

applied with the Oradell PD.....officer in charge (Peters) told me to expect a 2 month wait

 

got approved in 16 DAYS!

 

the officer in charge stayed on top of it, very professional and pleasure to work with

OP: When I lived in Randolph in the 80's I'd typically get pistol permits in a week; no extra forms or references either after the very first permit was on file. That was with Chief Booser, who was definitely Pro 2A. Who's the Randolph chief now?

 

Then I moved to Sussex County and had to use NJSP. Oh well.

Current chief in Randolph in Robert Mason. The woman that does all the paper work, Kathy, is great to deal with.

One month in chester and still waiting

does this not prove that it CAN be done in a timely manner?

I'm in Edison and over the thirty days already. A friend recently had his FID processed in Piscataway in about thirty days.

+1000!!! We're all definitely elated for you!!! I wish everyone in NJ seeking and FID and/or PPP could have your good fortune!

While admittedly jealous, very happy to hear it CAN be done in a timely manner. Is it me, or does it seem that towns that assign an officer seem to process faster than " the lady behind the counter" ?

that is a pattern i've noticed myself......my 2 other firends dealt with a "lady behind the counter" and it took them about 6-7 weeks....my other 2 friends dealt with an officer and got theirs in about 3 weeks

 

i got mine in 16 days dealing with an officer

 

i think the ladies usually have tons of other paperwork they are in charge of

Not my experience, I dealt with "the lady behind the counter, as you put it". Kathy was very professional and moved stuff along quickly.

No disrespect to the young lady behind the counter... She was excellent. Walked me through each form to be sure all was filled in correctly. Also told me to bring her back the completed form once I was done with the bio app so as not to risk it getting lost.

 

I'd guess the process varies from town to town.

My next purchase, god willing, will be Walther PPQ in 40 Cal for my Home defense gun. I own two hammer fired CZs right now and want a striker fired pistol. They are both in 9MM and I want a 40 cal. The PPQ suits my needs nicely.

[SURFINGJERSEY 0]

Congrats on the fast turnaround. I hope the same is for me. If so I should get a call any day now. (fingers crossed)

[dtown223 12]

My last set actually came TOO quickly

(I know that sounds crazy)

I've been so used to waiting 4+ months, when they came back in 6 weeks I was (am) scrambling for $$

[va_bank 0]

4 months and waiting. 5 more years and I'm out of this f***ing state.

[jdubsss 0]

Just got 3 p2p (with existing fpid) in 3 weeks from the day I got fingerprinted.

[DSD1026 48]

got my letter today that my permits and FPID are in, am going to pick them up tomorrow.. 6 weeks from start to finish.. (well, 6 weeks and a day)

[SURFINGJERSEY 0]

Went to the P.D. today and I was told another 4-5 weeks. This is ridiculous, already has been 7 weeks. Good thing I applied for more than 1 permit

always apply for at least 3 brother

 

even if you don't use them they only cost 2 bucks

[jm1827 284]

I am at 11 weeks and counting...

It's funny you say that.. When I first decided to get my fpid, I figured I would only get 1 permit so I could get a 9mm semi, but thought maybe it was a good idea to apply for 2.. Now I wish I would have applied for 3.. I already have my 2 permits planned out so I won't have any left over for a "great deal" or something.. I think once I use my 2 up, I will immediately apply for another 3 right away..

 

Ive also heard that if you apply for more within 6 months of your initial application they don't need to re-do the background or mental health check (don't know if that's true, can someone shed light on that?)

9 weeks in north hanover

S&W M&P 40 or 9 can't go wrong

[Night Prowler 0]

Any body know how much longer after the state police call your references for p2p?

[SURFINGJERSEY 0]

Depends on where you live. I'm going on 6 weeks since my references were contacted

Not cool. My buddy asked the trooper if they were about done and he said it just had to go to the secretary. I'm not going to hold my breath.

[DSD1026 48]

Interesting.. My refs weren't the last thing I waited on, it was the county mental health check, but it was only about 2 weeks after my refs and then it was done.. 6 weeks total

[Sludog 0]

I called my police department Stafford twp asking about the status of my license and permits. I turned papers in on Jan 31 and it will be 6 weeks tomorrow. I figured I was getting close but I was just checking. To my surprise I was told that everything was approved on Feb 21 and they were just waiting for employment verification from my job which was mailed out Feb 8. She said once they get that the detective will approve the license and permits. It seems that they delay was not my town but my employer. Called employer and they said they did not receive which I believe is not true and I am siding with my PD this time. I asked for the fax number at work to have the pd fax them the verification to speed things up. Looks like another week to wait but should of had this done last month.

[jm1827 284]

Congrats Sludog- I am going on 13 weeks and waiting for a change of address!

[david8613 69]

anyone know what the turn around is like lately in Hudson county, it's been awhile for me and i just put an application in today...
