I put one in on Saturday AM, didn't come back until this morning. And now i've added a PPQ to the collection. Congrats on the PPQ, where did you get it? I have 3 permits coming my way, and wanted to add one PPQ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far it has worked quite well with N.J. gun ownership rates among the lowest in the nation. Indeed it’s by design but what exactly they want to design? Whatever it is I don’t think it is great implementation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smith 3 Posted July 7, 2020 Does anyone know what’s NICS delay. My FFL dropped application on Thursday. Still no response( as expected)...does NJ adhere 3 days federal rule? So can he hand me over the gun after three days of application and no NICS response? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smith 3 Posted July 8, 2020 On separate note what’s general opinion about Sig Sauer 1911 scorpion 10mm? I am thinking just to get another one as I received two permit and I don’t want to go through this nightmare in near future at least not before I change the state of my residency...

I also stocked up when I bought this gun. I found some places they have 9 mm but cheapest I can find right now is 50 cents/ round. It’s freaking double or triple regular price!

Krdshrk 3,872 Posted July 10, 2020 Just spoke to the local PD - he's completely backlogged - he said he's got about a year's worth of applications within the last 3 months. With 2 assistance helping, he's still got a ton of backlog. It's been 40 days and he estimates another 2 weeks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They make it sound like it takes 90 minutes to process each application. What's the big deal? Isn't most of the process automated? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bomber 1,089 Posted July 14, 2020 'Firearm applications are up 250% in NJ this year.' "94,954 firearms applications submitted". How many are new applicants verses existing FID holders getting Purchase Permits . Brick township lumps them together the article. My guess is a good chunk of that number are existing FID holders.

Bomber 1,089 Posted July 14, 2020 "Maurice Elias, professor of psychology at Rutgers University believes that most people who put their permit to use and actually purchase a handgun are doing so "defensively," not to "go out and shoot somebody." Or to put it another way, according to the professor, "most" people who legally purchase a handgun in N.J. won't go on a shooting rampage.

Tunaman 538 Posted July 15, 2020 These are the retard professors teaching our kids. He has no right or knowledge of fact that ANYONE will use it offensively. "certain unnamed percentage" yea right.

The part not in italics and quotes is my translation of what the professor said. Essentially damning honest N.J. gun owners with faint praise i.e. "most" people who purchase a handgun in N.J. won't go out and shoot someone illegally, (but then again some probably will).
