Quickest permit turnaround time?

Recommended Posts

Just out of curiosity, what NJ town/city is typically the quickest to turnaround handgun permits?

 

I am in Robbinsville (Mercer Co.) and ever since I got into this hobby back in 2011, I have got 6 permits. All of them took NO LONGER than 13 days for me to get the permit

in my hand. I currently have another application in yesterday and I suspect it will take the same amount of time. For the 2 permits I got late last summer, the Dectective

called my 2 references the next morning, hard to beat that, I would think.

 

We do, however, have a new acting Chief (a female, first in Mercer Co.), so it will be interesting to see if the process changes are not.

Did a private sale with someone that lives in Union Beach, NJ and he said 4-5 days he got his permit.  My town however takes 6-8 weeks.

Paul:

 

Is it illegal to issue in less than 7 days from date of application, or just illegal to use it in less than 7 days from date of application?

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob<------too lazy to look up the statute

You're right Bob. No one can acquire a handgun within 7 days of application. But you know what happens when someone gets their permit. The ink isn't even dry and they are at the store buying. They could unknowingly break the law.

 

No handgun shall be delivered to any person unless such person possesses and exhibits a valid permit to purchase a firearm and at least seven days have elapsed since the date of application for the permit

I grew up in Vernon, Sussex County and I remember getting my first P2P when I turned 21, the complete process was done in 3 weeks, and each additional P2P I got were all right around 2 weeks. 

 

Flash forward 30 years or so and I am consistently waiting 5 months through the NJSP.  Sorry had to vent!

As pointed out previously - you can't use it until 7 days from date of application

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
