I'm looking into applying for the OGAM exception and have a few questions despite reading the sticky and a few other posts. I conveniently could not find any kind of instructions on the NJSP website on completing the forms or process. Thanks in advance.
1. Should forms SP015 and SP016 be sent to the local PD or directly to the NJSP? I have read different things and that the local police just forward the forms to NJSP which will obviously add additional lead time.
2. Is the original form with inked signature required to be submitted or is a copy acceptable? This is obviously not a problem with form SP015 since I would sign it myself but with SP016 that requires the FFL signature. If original is required, I would have to obtain the form physically from them vs them emailing me a copy and then submit the original.
3. How will I be notified if I was approved for the exemption?
4. If anyone who as applied for a OGAM exemption recently, please chime in on how long the turnaround time was.

Was thinking about this for quite some time, but can't find any specific info on this. Sorry if it has been discussed already, just point me out where :-)
I almost had a chance to try this on myself a couple of months ago (buying a handgun evening before a long trip out of state), but got lucky then.
So, hypothetical situation:
1a) You come to the store with your P2P, choose a handgun, commit to buy it (e.g. pay the whole price right away).
Store associate runs your NICS (Day 1) and gets a "delayed" response (seems not that uncommon, especially for Green Card holders). You fly out to Dallas Montreal the next morning for 2-weeks project. Next afternoon (when you are already enjoying Texas sun Montreal cold and French-speaking crowd everywhere sitting in an small office) you get a call that NICS returned "approved" (Day 2).
You can't take the gun that day, you actually can do it only on Day 15 or so.
It is fine as long as NICS results are valid for 30 days AFAIK.
(another version of this situation - 1b) - might be a friendly FFL running NICS for you a little bit in advance, let's say, on Day 1 with you coming to pick guns up on Day 6 after that)
Result is basically the same. While NJ NICS writes the date of request as Day 1, you actually take a possession of a gun on Day 15 (or Day 6 etc.).
Question: when can you buy the next gun?
a) On Day 31 (or 32 to be sure)
b) On Day 45 (or Day 36 respectively for 1b) for 30 days to pass from the moment you actually took possession of the gun
c) You can again run NICS on Day 31, and it will be approved, but you will be unable to legally take a possession of a handgun until Day 45 (or 36).
Question 2: in such scenarios, what dates go where in your papers?
As I remember, FFL can NOT put Day 1 in your P2P if you actually come on Day 15, because in this case it would look like he failed to return other copies of P2P to authorities on time.
Still back to OGAM, how NJ NICS system will know about the actual date of transfer?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Locations edited not to hit a raw nerve :-))))

It's been at least a few weeks since I last saw this asked, so I'm going to bring it up again
While there are many ambiguitiesin NJ firearms laws, this doesn't appear to me to be one of them:
So to me this clearly states that if I buy a handgun on day zero and starting counting on the following day, I would be eligible to buy a handgun on day 30. Doing a search, everyone advises buying on day 31. I called the NJSP firearms unit. I was told the law permits buying on day 30, but it was her "personal recommendation" to wait for 31. I just wonder if this is one of those gun store "NJSP requires us to see an FID before allowing you to handle a firearm" things. So my question is:
1. What was your personal experience buying on day 30? Approved or denied? No offense, I'm not interested in what happened to your buddy or what happened to your friend's brother's former roomate, just your personal experience where you have first hand knowledge of when your permit was dated, when NICS was run, and know you were careful about the day count.
2. And if you were denied, 1) were you told why?, 2) does it affect the way you have to fill out any future NICS requests?

Informative post intended to be a sticky:
One Gun A Month (OGAM) applies to the following:
HANDGUNS ONLY. If you need a "Permit to Purchase" OGAM applies, if you purchase your gun with ONLY an FPID card, OGAM DOES NOT APPLY!
I bought a handgun on February 28th, when can I next buy a handgun?
Regarding this - I suggest you read this. http://njgunforums.c...__1#entry502784
In my opinion the following is the safe and sure method to ensure that you don't end up in prison.
If you buy on February 28th, your first day of counting is March 1 (as per NJSP Firearms unit, see link above), your 30th day is March 30, you are legal to purchase on March 31. Some people will argue you are legal on March 30th. That's entirely your call, I am NOT a lawyer.
Please note that you can apply for an exemption from OGAM.
The forms are available on the NJSP website and to date, it appears as though all exemptions applied for have been approved. Due to the delays in obtaining an exemption, it usually only makes sense if you are taking delivery of 3+ handguns. Instructions on applying for exemptions are listed here http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/41324-filling-out-ogam-exemption-form/page__hl__exemption__fromsearch__1

Okay-I know this is stupid; but dealing with OGAM drives me nuts. I have two guns on layaway and have two weeks left to pick up one and then will need to wait 31 days for the other. How do others deal with this waiting period? I know I am a grown-up and all, but man, I am impatient!

Someone's been doing their homework! The dashboard has saved many people a lot of work in trying to get data that proves that more guns does equal less crime. Data on N.J. Permit to Carry Applications Shows Excessive Waits – Bearing Arms Ironically, Mrs. 45Doll and I just re-upped our PA LTCFS and it took all of three days online. And cost $26.13 each.
