fatty 241 Posted October 11, 2016 Welcome to the forums. Most of Bergen county isn't so 2A friendly... which I'm sure you're already aware of in Ft Lee. Hope you get your approval soon Any idea what you want to buy first? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJGF 375 Posted October 11, 2016 Welcome. You will learn you have to be very patient in some parts of NJ. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svinfinity 0 Posted October 11, 2016 Yes, I haven't seen a lot of information on the wait time for Fort Lee, but it seems to be about a year. 9 Months to go... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted October 11, 2016 Don't be passive about it - call them for status updates. Confirm with your references that they got and sent back the letters, confirm with the PD that they received the reference letters. etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svinfinity 0 Posted October 11, 2016 Everything is straight and has been "sitting on the detectives desk for review" every time i call. Frustrating, but i don't want them to toss my app to the bottom of the pile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Svinfinity 0 Posted October 14, 2016 I stopped by this week and they told me the detective is currently reviewing my case. Then it goes to the lieutenant. After the lieutenant, it goes to be signed by the chief. Who knows how long each process takes. Glad you joined in, welcome. Have you tried stopping by?

Cereza 106 Posted October 14, 2016 I stopped by this week and they told me the detective is currently reviewing my case. Then it goes to the lieutenant. After the lieutenant, it goes to be signed by the chief. Who knows how long each process takes. You might want to let them know they're in violation of 2C:58-3f: f.Granting of permit or identification card; fee; term; renewal; revocation. The application for the permit to purchase a handgun together with a fee of $2, or the application for the firearms purchaser identification card together with a fee of $5, shall be delivered or forwarded to the licensing authority who shall investigate the same and, unless good cause for the denial thereof appears, shall grant the permit or the identification card, or both, if application has been made therefor, within 30 days from the date of receipt of the application for residents of this State and within 45 days for nonresident applicants. A permit to purchase a handgun shall be valid for a period of 90 days from the date of issuance and may be renewed by the issuing authority for good cause for an additional 90 days. A firearms purchaser identification card shall be valid until such time as the holder becomes subject to any of the disabilities set forth in subsection c. of this section, whereupon the card shall be void and shall be returned within five days by the holder to the superintendent, who shall then advise the licensing authority. Failure of the holder to return the firearms purchaser identification card to the superintendent within the said five days shall be an offense under subsection a. of N.J.S.2C:39-10. Any firearms purchaser identification card may be revoked by the Superior Court of the county wherein the card was issued, after hearing upon notice, upon a finding that the holder thereof no longer qualifies for the issuance of such permit. The county prosecutor of any county, the chief police officer of any municipality or any citizen may apply to such court at any time for the revocation of such card.

If you pay in full, some places will hold the firearm for you until the paperwork comes through. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svinfinity 0 Posted January 8, 2017 So after a few months, i called. They claim they called my reference a month ago but didn't pickup. So they just call once, forget it and not mention it to me? They give me a number and tell my reference to call the Detective friday. He calls on Friday, then is told to call back Monday.... 6 Months so far with a ton of BS. I have never broken the law, i'm not crazy, i pay my taxes. Why do i feel like they are treating me like a criminal and idiot? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Svinfinity 0 Posted January 10, 2017 My reference called this morning as directed. Guess what, the detective wasn't even there. Why would they tell me to call Friday, Monday if they arent even there? I've done all i can, now i can't even get them to call my reference or answer the calls to move forward. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
