Medford Police Issue, Looking for feedback

[brocglock23 4]

I had a friend of mine pick up his firearms id card application and he informed me that they are requiring 4 references so I wrote the following:

 

I was recently informed by a friend of mine that you are requiring 4 references for a Firearms Identification Card. Per 2C:58-3f no other requirements shall be added. According to state law the only to forms required are SP-66 and S.T.S 033. The S.T.S 033 only requires 2 references.

 

2C:58-3f- There shall be no conditions or requirements added to the form or content of the application, or required by the licensing authority for the issuance of a permit or identification card, other than those that are specifically set forth in this chapter.

 

I hope you will review your policies on F.I.Ds and begin complying with state law. I decided not to publish this on your wall because I am not trying to make a scene publicly but I anticipate your cooperation.

 

Thank you

 

Do you think I was rude or could have added anything? This is obviously just an ice breaker but I felt something had to be done.

Open to opinions. Thanks guys.

Did you let NJ2AS know with their Operation Establish Compliance?

I believe it is well written and politely gets to the point.

I see nothing wrong with the letter.. Did your friend happen to list you as a reference? My only concern would be this may open him up to some additional unwanted scrutiny but way to fight the good fight.

Not yet, Their time and resources a valuable in other places right now. I will forward my correspondence to the NJ2AS if or when it becomes necessary.

He will be using other people for references and I will not bring up his name. I just told him to hold tight for a few days to see what happens.

Well if you do walk in to the place yourself to discuss this matter, try not to stare at their armbands & well padded caps

Interesting. Please do keep us posted.

Back in January Medford only asked for 2 references as per. Update?

[brocglock23 4]

this is what was given to him and he was told that the forms couldn't have the same references. I emailed several times and called 2 times I received no response.

Why does Medford require 'fresh prints' if your prints on file are more than 5 years old? I changed address with prints more than 25 years old.

 

Looks increasingly like Medford is making up its own rules.
