DragonSoul 1 Posted July 7, 2020 Last week I applied for my firearms id and gun permit. I noticed that they also needed a consent for Mental Health record search. Did the initial application that I filled out have that as part of the application process? Because I saw two questions about mental health on the application. Or do I need to fill out the consent for mental health form separately? Appreciate any clarity. Thank You! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InFamous 311 Posted July 7, 2020 If you've lived in Jersey for 10 years or more there is no additional forms you need to fill out for the Mental Health check. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DragonSoul 1 Posted July 7, 2020 I haven’t from 2010-13. Apparently can’t go to local PD if not an emergency, then you get an answering machine when you call and emailed over a week ago. So I’m curious if I need to just bring the form signed to the local pd, or bring the form there and sign it in front of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InFamous 311 Posted July 7, 2020 You used to have to sign it in front of them. With the introduction of FARS I'm not 100% sure what the new procedure would be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s the problem, trying to figure out what to do next, but no way of finding out. Think I’ll head over to the PD and ask. Unless someone else knows. Thanks for the help!

The detective who handles applications in my town only works certain days and others in the office had no answers to any of my questions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have called about 5 times and once to their primary number, which then sent me to the original number I’ve been calling. And the call always goes to a recorded message. Might be better to go there and hopefully get the day(s)/hour(s) the person works, so I can finish this last piece. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd try the records department, ask who is in charge of fid applicationa but dont ask to speak to the detective(they might just transfer you back to his voice mail) ask when would be a good time to call him.

DragonSoul 1 Posted July 11, 2020 Just an update: I was able to get through and speak to someone in the firearms office. I asked about the consent form for mental health. He told me that I already consented when I did the application online and there was no need to fill the form or bring one in. Figured if others were in my position with the same question, that this would help. My criminal bg check was already done. The person I spoke with, said it’d probably be 2 months before I hear back. I hope not, but we shall see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
