Hello to all, Its been a long time since I purchased a handgun (30 years or so) and I'm finding conflicting info so I would like to find out how everything works. When I went to my local PD they gave me a package of stuff and said I had to be fingerprinted first. I have had my FID since 1978 and was fingerprinted then. When I moved to the town I live in now (Raritan Boro in 1998) I changed my address with no problem but 2 years or so later my wallet was stolen and my FID was in my wallet. When I went back to the PD they gave me a little trouble and made me reapply and I ended up having to go to court but the judge granted my request on appeal I was fingerprinted again at this time. I made the appointment to get fingerprinted but got a call from the police dept saying I did not need to get finger printed so I cancelled my appointment. Now in searching on the internet to make sure everything was correct I thought I saw something that said you have to be fingerprinted every time you purchase a handgun in NJ , I need to know if this is true so I can make sure I have done everything I can to ensure a good decision with least possible wait. Another question is  there a one month wait on purchasing in NJ? If anyone can give me the up to date requirements I would be very grateful

I just went last week in my township(08053) for the first time in 15+ years. Had to fill out a 2 page application. Could do it online if you want. I was there and had time so just did it there.   Already had my fid card from when I turned 18 in 1992. Lol. Had change of address in 2003. Yea it has changed a bit. I had my prints done in 2012 for a job. They (police) give you a link to go to to set up an appointment to get prints done then the place sends them to your township. Not sure of the cost to get prints done but I had to pay $20 for the company to send the prints from 2012 to the police. All done online. 

So between the $20 and 3 permits I'm invested $26 so far. 

Good luck

If you're getting your prints done by "Ident-to-Go,"  I think it's on the order of $59-60 for the initial set of prints. But that also serves as the NJSP criminal background check. For subsequent P2P or other requests, You need the criminal background check itself. That's done via this URL - NJ 212A Criminal Background Check...  But your municipality has to give you information to do it. The cost for this is $20.00.

WECOME!!!!!!

 

 

You shouldn't need to be fingerprinted again, but I have heard of some towns making people do it repeatedly.

 

You cannot buy more than one handgun in any 30 day period - so when you get a permit you can use it right away, but must wait at least 30 days after your first purchase to use a second permit.

Thanks to all who have replied, I only had a one page application to fill out and the officer I met at first said I had to go be fingerprinted even though I had been fingerprinted before so I made the appointment and paid online the 60 dollars for it. Later that day the officer called me on the phone and apologized and said I did not need to be fingerprinted again. I did the online 212a already and the officer actually drove to my house to pick up the paperwork for my P2P. I had been "inked" at the police station in 2007 when my wallet was stolen and I needed to replace my card so they did have my prints on file. I was checking as I thought I had read somewhere online that for the P2P you needed to be fingerprinted every time and wanted to make sure I had done everything as it needed so they could not claim I had not done something that was needed. The last time I purchased a handgun all I did was go to the police station , talk to the woman in the Chiefs office for a few minutes filled out the paperwork and waited while she brought it in to the chief and came out with my permit it sure has gotten complicated. Its been a week now hopefully it wont take too many more weeks . Thanks again for the replies.

      Must Watch Video 8 Seconds Faster
      8 seconds faster because “Smooth is Fast”. If you watch the video and keep track of the time, you’ll see that this shooter, C.S. (our shooter in the drill) is about 8 seconds faster than the majority of the other shooters. Listen to how long gunfire from other shooters continue after she completes her drill.
      Becoming a fast and accurate shooter, is a combination of acquiring skills and understanding efficient human movement. Speed and accuracy does not have to comprise safety, it should augment it. Learning to shoot fast and accurately is an acquired and appreciated skill. It takes time, instruction, practice and the development of skill to acquire it; and it will depreciate if it not maintained.
