Maksim 1,504 Posted May 29, 2013 Just visited my local PD to pick up my permits. Time from dropped off to picked up less than 4 weeks. When I initially dropped it off, I was told about 5 weeks additional to the 3 it usually takes for permits. To my surprise, got a phone call last week that permits were ready, exemption and all. Talking with my detective, he was amazed himself. My references are good people and return them promptly, but.... he was astonished and made comment that... 1. State Police was very quick with the Exemption approval. 2. Mental Health Check came back quicker than usual. Seems like someone got onto the state police to make changes.

checko 180 Posted May 29, 2013 They don't mind giving you your permits quick now cause NICS takes a month haha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted May 29, 2013 They don't mind giving you your permits quick now cause NICS takes a month haha. Yeah..... don't think so. My PD is always professional about it. =) He is not a gun gun guy, but.... he does not stand in the way of people buying guns. Was funny, he was making a comment how it is so stupid that any time Obama opens his mouth about guns, the next day, he has a ton of people calling to get more permits, and new FID. he did mention things were slowing down again for new FID and permits.

John, did your references return the forms already? Or do you know the hold up. It still depends on the department, but the state is doing a better job in the recent weeks. Nics is down to 10 days, from my talk with a few FFL's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhunted 887 Posted May 29, 2013 They usually do. Just saw my detective and waiting on SP... I wish it was at least uniform more often than not. Kinda ticks me off when a few seem to be fine while others are in a holding pattern like a late flight to the North Pole. Gonna give my refs a call to be sure.

checko 180 Posted May 30, 2013 exemption? to get around OGAM. If approved you can take possession of multiple handguns simultaneously and only one NICS call. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sludog 0 Posted May 30, 2013 Can you adopt me so I can get this exception too? Today is day 21 for NICS for a pistol and rifle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted May 30, 2013 Doesnt help with the length of the NICS check. Just how many you can take possession of when NICS comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nitrospaz9 10 Posted May 30, 2013 What excuse did you use if any to get the exemption? Wondering how it works Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted May 30, 2013 What excuse did you use if any to get the exemption? Wondering how it works It is pretty much a rubber stamp. You have 3 boxes, 1. Inheretence by will, 2. Collector, 3. Competitor. You have option of writing with extra stuff. I just chose Collector. I signed the forms on 4/29/13, gave them to the PD next day, and the approval day of the exemption is May 3rd.... so essentially it was processed the same day or next day when State Police received it.

mrejda 1 Posted May 30, 2013 Posting a quick OGAM & NICS question ITT as I dont want to start a new one. I have 2 P2Ps coming in the next few weeks (hopefully) and am looking to buy 2 pistols, one from an FFL and one FTF. The FTF is a coworker and so I can execute that at any time. Can I do the following?: Buy FTF, Purchase/Begin NICS check of Gun2 from FFL at day 20 or so, take possession of Gun2 after NICS clears/30 days. Or would I have to wait the full 30 before NICS can be initiated? EDIT: Disreagrd, I'm reading through another thread below with the same discussion. Silent Patriot wrote a novella on it.

Maksim 1,504 Posted May 30, 2013 Do you submit the forms to the your local PD or to the NJSP first? It was supposed to be through your local PD, and they sent it off to SP. HOWEVER, if you already have the permits, some members have reported success sending it directly to SP themselves. If you need your pistol permits, you have to go through your local PD as on the forms, you need to write the permit number iirc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I completed my sections on forms SP015 & SP016 as instructed and mailed to the FFL he said he will fill in the rest of the needed info. He said they were mailed to NJSP. I had someone check with NJSP today and they have no paperwork on file for my exemption. I was also told that the forms go to local PD first and they send them to the SP. I started this a few months ago!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
