Thats interesting. I know that they used to call at some point. I was a referral for someone else. The NJSP called me. It was kinda funny because my buddy happened to be standing right next to me.

This was back in 2012-2013, post Sandy Hook gun grab panic. As a matter of fact, they called both of his references. Because the other guy called him a few minutes later and said they just called him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kc17 620 Posted March 19, 2020 I had planned to apply for more permits next month. By my estimations, that timing would have allowed for the new to come in at about the same time as current expiring and/or being used. With the current craziness going on I just applied for them now. One reference already submitted; I'm confident the other will be done by the end of business today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kc17 620 Posted March 19, 2020 The references receive an email with a link to a survey asking them questions about the applicant. This replaces the phone calls they would receive from the po-po. I've never been on that side of the fence, but from what I understand it is just a few questions and the whole process is less than a minute or two.

I heard similar from my FFL although he told me that process you describe usually takes about 7-10 days for our local barracks from when receiving the approval email. I am going on 30 days now. Just hoping it didn’t get lost somehow as I have a $1000 Sig Sauer sitting in my FFLs safe that I would like to have at home with me instead. Seven to ten days is very good. With FARS, my total wait time from the moment I complete the application on line to the time I have the permits in hand is about 3 1/2 months. I deal with the Red Lion barracks in Southampton.

CMP 2 Posted March 19, 2020 I beat the 3.5 month mark as my NICs check just came back this afternoon. Total wait time of 87 days. In 2012/2013 I waited almost 6 months and heard of some people waiting much longer during that time, so comparatively speaking I guess 3 months isn’t too bad.

Guest Posted March 25, 2020 The Sargent I spoke with at my local PD basically said the same thing. I had already applied for a FID and he said it was still going to be processed. If I wanted a handgun permit he recommended holding off/halting on the process until the order was lifted. I told him since I wasn't interested in a handgun permit and had not applied for one I was grateful for the information but I would like my purchaser id to continue the process.

chris327 30 Posted April 15, 2020 Has anyone submitted a fars check recently? I submitted on March 16th and the state police background check is still not even completed. Normally it's a few day turn around for me. Reached out to my local pd and they are waiting on the state police for it still. Wasnt sure if this system too is just this backed up or what.

The background check is normally in quick but never got updated. References were done but that's all. Makes me wonder if they aren't even processing them at this point.

chris327 30 Posted April 15, 2020 Thanks guys. So it seems to be a common theme I guess. Dont do the background check for the fars system. Now nobody can buy pistols unless they had permits. And no new finds out there. So they got what they wanted and less guns being sold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted April 15, 2020 I picked up my FID today. I started the process March 13th so a month and 2 days later the deed was done. I did not get any handgun permits just a straight purchaser id I am not sure if that had any impact on how fast my id was processed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
