redtornado23 0 Posted July 31, 2013 Just a quick shout out to everyone here, my buddy Mark told me about the forum and finally got me to apply for my FID/P2P after a lifetime of procrastination. The is week 5 and i haven't heard a peep in regard to anything being ready - although i know my references had letters mailed to them less than a week after i submitted my application. I was fingerprinted shortly after that...which was 3 weeks ago, so with some luck maybe only another couple of weeks to go. Anyway, i hope to be an active member here, not that i can give much insight, as i'm not even a gun owner yet...but i'm a quick learner and plan on being active at my local range(s) an get togethers as well. Thanks to everyone here for what looks to be a well informed group of people who don't mind sharing their knowledge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redtornado23 0 Posted August 19, 2013 Just received a call today from my local PD - supposedly all my paperwork is finished, the detective stated that the Chief just had to give it his blessing (sign it?) which should only take another week. We shall see... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redtornado23 0 Posted August 20, 2013 Tunaman, thanks. I have a friend in Rutherford who i've gone to Gun for Hire with a couple of times. I already plan on going to Meltzer's to buy my Glock. My dad was good friends with (i keep wanting to say Billy, but i think it's Izzy) so it will cool to buy my first gun where i know he spent a lot of time (and money). He was a big hunter and fisher back in the day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redtornado23 0 Posted August 26, 2013 Well, the wait was definitely worth it. I received a letter this past Saturday that all my paperwork was processed and ready to be picked up...so this morning i received my FID and P2P after starting the process on July 1st. The permit wasn't in my hands 30 minutes before i had my first handgun - a brand new Glock 23. I'm looking forward to giving it it's first cleaning and putting some 40 cal down range. To say i'm excited would be an understatement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
