gunnarsport 13 Posted February 26, 2016 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quickkill730 3 Posted February 26, 2016 I recently did an address change and permit to Spotswood. Took two weeks. Could have been sooner but I had to wait a week to get finger printed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 permitSent from an undisclosed location via Tapatalk.

jm1827 284 Posted February 27, 2016 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
