So if you want I could sell it to you, it’s still packed at FFL dealers place...I am not even sure if it is legal or is there another million years paper work involved in it ... Have you contacted ANJRPC Strikeforce yet? They are here to help. If the State Police already did the background check, the town has 30 days to issue the permit as stated in law. I don't want to deprive you of the awesome 92X, I been hearing great times about them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did contact them sent email with all detail. It’s been couple of days and I assume under circumstances they have limited mobility. So giving them couple of more days. I am also planing to get life membership of ANJRPC. This is the last thing I wanted to do that tussle with police while they are under so much unnecessary scrutiny. I have also simultaneously contacted couple of lawyers too! Let’s see if anything yield any result! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks to this thread, I seen the StrikeForce link and already contacted them. I do, and the firearms officer at the barracks actually gives me the time of day when I call to ask about current status, but I’m still waiting. I guess I’ll just wait longer....

45Doll 5,874 Posted June 19, 2020 Just for comparison... When applying for handgun permits in Madison in the late 70's the first question was 'why do you want a handgun?'. After I got past that and submitted the application it was about three months of waiting. Then finally, after calling for about the fifth time and getting the runaround I asked to speak to the Chief. After a brief hold the answer was 'you can pick them up this afternoon'. After moving to Randolph about three years later, I applied for permits and had them in my hand in less than 10 calendar days. Several times. Chief Booser understood his oath and responsibility and didn't play politics. Up until about three years ago I experienced permit delays anywhere from three to ten months out of NJSP Sussex Station. Then a new firearms trooper was installed and the wait time dropped to about four to six weeks. I believe some changes were also made in the Firearms Unit in Trenton over time which improved the process a little bit more after that. And now of course the permits come through already extended so they're good from the get-go for 180 days. So in my experience the primary factor is the people involved, not the system they use.

You do realize that you just confessed to lying on the ST-033 (or FARS equivalent) on a public forum. That right there is enough to deny you any firearms.

Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted June 20, 2020 I never had to deal with a NJSP barracks as an issuing entity, but if I am understanding previous posts - your permits will be printed at NJSP headquarters in West Trenton and then they may wait for inter-agency mail to reach your specific barracks, What I'm saying is, it may still take a considerable amount of time before you actually have permits in hand. Be patient. From what I hear, a remedy to the above is in the works. No more paper permits - electronic ones. Once you have been approved all a dealer has to do is download your electronic permit to complete the transaction. Not sure how/if they are going to integrate NICS into that, but it is another step in the right direction. If we have to live with this draconian permitting system, they can, at the very least, make it efficient. I would guess that a "state mandated system" and "efficient" are probably oxymoronic.

Adios, Pizza Bob Yeap...I got email from Trenton that it was printed and mailed to local police station on 6/19/2020...so hope that this week would be end of this saga!!! I really hope that system transfer to electronic system soon and everyone involved with it get relief! I am in IT and I can tell you that technically that is project of max 6 month to year but bureaucratically and politically it’s different issue!

45Doll 5,874 Posted June 30, 2020 I happened to stop by my FFL yesterday and they had a sign up that there were over 1,200 requests in the queue stretching back to Friday. After the St. Louis self-defense incident the clamor for guns and ammo is only going to get worse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smith 3 Posted July 1, 2020 alright so finally after all this wait, I got permit in hand!

NJ NICS system at its finest. Still have to run a NICS for each purchase even with a P2P. I put one in on Saturday AM, didn't come back until this morning. And now i've added a PPQ to the collection.

A NICS check must be run at point of sale for each purchase. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The point (by design) is to make obtaining a firearm in N.J. such a major intrusive hassle as to discourage all but the most determined. So far it has worked quite well with N.J. gun ownership rates among the lowest in the nation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
