Bonnevil79 0 Posted February 22, 2015 Just went this morning, came in and out throughout the day before giving up just before 5. Now to try and get my permit extended. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drjjpdc 39 Posted February 25, 2015 Is there longer wait times for permits this year? I submitted my paperwork and $18.00 check to my local PD before Christmas and I still don't have my permits. Is everyone else experiencing this? John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark42361 8 Posted February 25, 2015 Is there longer wait times for permits this year? I submitted my paperwork and $18.00 check to my local PD before Christmas and I still don't have my permits. Is everyone else experiencing this? John my fiance submitted paperwork in September, she finally got the call that they were ready and picked them up yesterday.(6 month wait) they were dated for 2/5/15. So the 90 day expiration date is 20 days old already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin125 4,772 Posted February 27, 2015 Well, last Saturday I waited a little more than 90 minutes. They're gonna need to find a new acronym without an "I" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin125 4,772 Posted March 22, 2015 NICS submitted 11:30am Saturday Mar 21st. As of 5pm.... No response from NICS office on mine or anyone else's INSTANT background check. On Friday, the near useless govt. employees at the NICS left at 2pm because of the snow. Nearly everyone else in the private sector continued to work all day. This departure probably created a backlog. My FFL dealer checked with a few other shops and was told they had zero NICS responses on Saturday as well. Great system. As far as it being fixed...it isn't. And it won't be any time soon given what I've seen in our state govt. workforce. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njJoniGuy 2,129 Posted March 23, 2015 Because of the backlog created when the state closed early Friday due to the snow. Most of Saturday was spent processing Friday's leftovers Saturday's submissions are being handled today And on and on it goes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,569 Posted March 23, 2015 I am soooooo glad I don't have to deal with that. AND, about one-third of my customers have a CCW, so no NICS is even done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melgamatic 66 Posted March 31, 2015 I bought a CX Storm on Monday around 2pm, and the store Rahway Heritage Guild (aka NJ FAG) was still waiting on their checks from 11am, 3 hours earlier. I still haven't gotten a call that my check from yesterday is done yet... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
