New Background Check Every 6 Months?

I'm applying for my first pistol permits tomorrow. I have my FID for a couple of years and according to the info my town has available it says I will need to pay an $18 fee for a background check on top of the $2 per permit if I haven't had a background in the past 6 months.  Is this part of the NJSP procedure or is this a town thing?  If anyone has any experience with P2P in Nutley, I'd love to hear it. Here's the link for the nutley info from the town website

There are some towns that wil require the $18.00 fee everytime. I am pretty sure the background check occurs everytime. Some towns just won't charge you if you had a check done recently.

You also mention that it has been a couple of year since you got your FID, which would have been the last time that they did a full (mental health)  backround search. In this case I would just pay the $18.00.

The $18 fee is actually for your mental health check.

 

Everyone is require to have it done.

The nutley info says the $18 fee is for, "a Request for Criminal History Record Information for a Non-Criminal Purpose."

 

I'm only asking because you can't pay with cash or a check, you need to use a money order.  Didn't want to waste $18 if i didn't have to, but wanted to make sure I have all my ducks in a row when I hand in my paperwork.

 

Thanks for the info guys, looks like I'm headed off to Western Union!

Just another case where the State screws over gun owners.  They let me pay my income taxes with a personal check, they let me pay my property taxes with a personal check, and I can get my driver's license also with a personal check.  So, why do I have to use a money order to get a gun permit?  Aren't money orders what criminals use when they don't want people to be able to track how they move money around?

This is incorrect. There is no fee for the mental health check. The $18 is for the non-criminal background check (yellow form SP-212A). It is not statutorily required, but the police are tasked to do a thorough background check and most PD's in the state use the SP-212A to show that they have done their due diligence. Be glad because the CLEO could require that you get fingerprinted each time - there is noting in the statutes that prohibits that.

 

Adios,

 It probably won't be long before gun owners in the PRNJ have to have a "parole officer" to report to on a scheduled basis to report any changes in medical conditions, traffic tickets or any other event to disqualify you from possessing a gun.

Bob is absolutely correct. Lets not spread false info unless we are absolutely sure. There is no fee for mental health check.

 

The $18 is optional for the PD. since I see my pd officer regularly, and because financial services requirements include a ton of prints, unless it has been a long long time, my pd waives the $18. Typically, if it has been over a year since they last saw you....$18.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      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

      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.
