papercutninja 24 Posted October 15, 2013 I have a pistol permit that is expiring soon, so I dropped it off at the PD to have it extended as I have in the past. I get a phone call from the office saying that I have to write a note to the Chief explaining why I want an extension before he can sign off on it. This has never happened to me before. Anyone else encounter this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ogfarmer 138 Posted October 15, 2013 Just tell him since it takes forever to get them issued you don't want it to go to waste and reapply and wait forever. Also explain that the firearm you wish to purchase is not in stock at the moment and should be available soon but reapplying would cause you to miss the opportunity when it comes in.

Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted October 15, 2013 It is entirely at the CLEO's discretion. He can make you jump through any hoops he wants. Sounds like yours isn't being a total hard-ass and will extend once you provide a note. I would imagine it could be something as simple as, "I haven't found the gun I want yet." Good luck. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
papercutninja 24 Posted October 15, 2013 Ahh, I didn't realize it was per the discretion of the CLEO. I wrote a polite note and dropped it off. Guess we'll see how it goes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4BGRINGO 139 Posted October 15, 2013 Good luck, my town won't extend them anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT Custom Guns 956 Posted October 15, 2013 Quite common actually - just be polite and ask for your extension based on the fact that the HG your looking for has been on backorder and you are a collector. You should have no problem as long as you are professional and to the point........... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duppie 73 Posted October 15, 2013 I have a pistol permit that is expiring soon, so I dropped it off at the PD to have it extended as I have in the past. I get a phone call from the office saying that I have to write a note to the Chief explaining why I want an extension before he can sign off on it. This has never happened to me before. Anyone else encounter this? When I moved to Monroe I had my first round of P2P's extended with no questions asked,Second round required a note explaining why I needed a extension . Third round of permits came with a note stating no extensions will be issued unless one can produce a receipt stating a firearm was purchased and will be delivered after the initial expiration of the permits.......... All within 2 years, so I would expect the same procedure to be the norm in coming years in townships with PD's that take a less than favorable view on our 2'nd amendment rights.

AlexTheSane 236 Posted October 16, 2013 I was told by the Sayreville PD that I can only get an extension if I have a receipt for a gun that is on backorder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
papercutninja 24 Posted October 16, 2013 I just thought it was odd, since i've gotten extensions in the past without the requirement for a reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

halbautomatisch 60 Posted October 16, 2013 Anyone living in a town where the CLEO won't sign an extension, or is insisting on proof of a back ordered HG should contact the mayor and ask them why the CLEO is wasting tax payer dollars by not renewing these permits. The town only gets the $2 per permit to process your application (NJSP gets the $18), hardly anywhere near the cost to process the applications. By not renewing the permits the only thing the CLEO is accomplishing is getting town residents to apply more frequently, which ends up costing the town more money - unnecessarily.

njpilot 671 Posted October 16, 2013 What's disturbing here is that it seems a few towns have recently started this new policy of not renewing permits. Is it just coincidence that these different towns all of a sudden started this same policy or did this maybe come as a "suggestion" from the AG or someone else in the state gov't?

As I alluded to in my post, I believe that township PD's communicate formally and informally and if like minded CLEO's see a way to curtail or delay legal gun ownership by not issuing extensions with or without the AG's blessing...they will. I think this is just the beginning and we will see it as a norm in just a few years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kman 56 Posted October 16, 2013 If your town won't extend your permit, then immediately reapply for a new one on the day the permit expires. That ought to teach them about how to reduce their paperwork burden. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the time frames in some towns ...I would be tempted to apply for more the day of pickup of issued permits... killing 2 birds with one stone...lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heavyopp 167 Posted October 17, 2013 I had 1 extended during the NICS crisis -- CLEO requested a note -- it simply said "due to the current state of NICS it will be impossible for me to use my 3rd permit" Permit was extended the next day... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sota 1,191 Posted October 17, 2013 Last time I simply said the firearm I was looking to purchase was out of stock currently but was expected in within the next 90 days. Took the chief a week to sign it but he did. Apparently mine was one one of the "nicer" letters according to the sgt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
