My township PD has been very communicative. This a fantastic FB post. Straight copy/paste below. No editing. Good afternoon Old Bridge 2A residents We just wanted to update our residents on our progress in the processing of a permit to purchase, a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card (FID) or a permit to carry. As a lot of you know, we have been and will continue to be out in front of the pack in processing times in comparison to other municipalities or agencies. There are however some pieces of the investigative puzzle that slow things down such as out-of-state mental health checks or clarification/disposition of a criminal record. We are often waiting on a court to provide us with an official disposition of an applicant’s prior criminal arrest charge(s). This takes time. Some states are slow in response to a mental health record check which is also conducted via U.S. Mail. We do not take any shortcuts in our background investigations. If there’s a question that needs answering, we will find the answer or wait on an applicant to provide needed documentation so we are confident in approving, or if need be, denying an application. Now, with that said, we want our residents to know what our average turn around times are. Again, these are averages and cannot obviously be applied to each and every applicant’s unique background check. When we are suddenly inundated with applications, things slow down a bit but they do not stop! We remain diligent in our processing of your applications. We have an average of 14 days for permit to carry applications that do not involve out-of-state checks. This means that from the time we receive your complete application till the time we send it up to Middlesex County is about 2 weeks. For those carry applications that do involve out-of-state checks, we are averaging less than 30 days. Carry permits are entirely done on paper and utilize the postal system for documents. They are reviewed and approved on business days. We email the applicant when we forward the application to the Middlesex County Superior Court. Under the statute (N.J.S.A. 2C:58-4), the judge assigned to review such applications (in our county that is Judge Joseph Rae) will either approve or deny it. We have no control on the how Judge Rae will do so as that remains the judge’s prerogative. For permits to purchase and FID cards, we are averaging about 8 days. We are constantly reevaluating how we process both the electronic and paper applications in an effort to become even more efficient. This, we feel, better serves our residents. Please remember that you can either email, call or stop in should you have any questions concerning your application. Our dedicated staff is well versed and eager to assist you. Thank you! Acting Chief Donald Fritz, Jr.

I'm not disagreeing, but 11 handguns later it's high time you get a revolver or two.

Congratulations! You are quite the man...thanks for all you do. It doesnt go unnoticed.

County: Hunterdon Fingerprinted: 6/30 - Easton, PA Applied via: NJSP Washington 6/30 Approved by NJSP Washington: Approx 8/9 Approved by NJSP FIU: 8/15 Received by court: 8/18 Docketed by court: 8/19 Approved by court: 9/14 I don't have it in hand yet, but I'm told it is restricted to the guns I qualified with. When I get the paperwork I'll know about any other details.

Senator Cory “Spartacus” Booker introduces bill to limit how gun dealers may dissolve their businesses By John Petrolino | 1:30 PM on September 13, 2022 Share Tweet AP Photo/Steven Senne Spartacus is at it again. Senator Cory Booker from New Jersey couldn’t sit idle for too long without bringing forward some sort of an anti-gun proposal. In his free time, when he’s not embarrassing Garden Staters with his antics in Congress, or allegedly slipping out of the back door of his Newark home when he was mayor to head to his real home, Booker loves to trample on the fundamental right to keep and bear arms. Booker, who fancied himself a people’s mayor of sorts, with his publicity stunt living in a building scheduled for demolition in a high crime area, has no need for firearms when he has security to look after him. Funny how Booker’s alleged experience did not set off any light bulbs on why the Second Amendment is so important. Had the then mayor and now Senator been paying less attention to allegedly slipping out back doors, and having guests come in through back doors under the cloak of darkness, he would have figured out quickly that a firearm is borderline a necessity in the city he managed to mismanage. On September 8th Senator Sparticus introduced a bill to limit how dealers that lose their licenses shall deal with their inventory. https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2022/09/13/senator-cory-spartacus-booker-introduces-bill-to-limit-how-gun-dealers-may-dissolve-their-businesses-n62286?utm_source=badaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&bcid=00ea90fbf351bbfd29c96affd26f2dca49954a466ec9e3e8139f308bd8a1cb93

Honestly your only hurting the defendant vs the overreaching state.... Imagine some BS gun charge like someone caught with a loose hollow point in their car.... As a juror YOU could protect a defendant's constitutional rights from state overreach with your vote. But now the poor defendant will have to face a bundle of anti gun, uber liberals.... Yes jury duty is a pain in the ass and every time I've been selected fortunately I haven't had to go however I would have, and I would have upheld the US constitution.

I paid $3.29 at BP in Phillipsburg yesterday.

It's 10-14 next month, your still good FRIDAY 10/14/2022 FROM 6:00pm-9:00pm at CliftonMasonic Lodge No. 203 1496 Van Houten Ave Clifton,

No way should being diabetic preclude you from absolutely anything!!!!! There is no question on the application that you would have to answer to that or anything else for that matter, heart disease, autoimmune disease, cancer….that is not mental health.

Is his assistant Dorothy?

Allocated? $274,000 Actually spent $3.50.

The “division” is FIU in Trenton. Based on my application which was submitted July 11 and sent to the court on August 10, I would say about a month or so is what it takes. Of course the apps are now just sitting at the court, with no action. I don’t know what it will take to move it, but something has to give. They can absolutely have a Morris county judge sign it (same vicinage) if that judge isn’t signing for whatever reason. But something has got to give. These delays are simply unacceptable.

NJ.com reports: A gated estate, State Police protection and the Middletown PD adds patrols to the area? Any other neighborhood in the township flooded with armed LEO after cars stolen in the area?

Congratulations!

They said they were going to send it to NJSP, but I asked if I could pick it up from the clerk at the court as NJSP have 'lost' my purchase permits twice before. They said they would let me know.

I am in Monmouth County. My money order was cashed as of today. Could have been cashed over the last week or so as I don't check daily. My fingerprints were done on 7/22. Application went in about a week prior... Has anyone else in Monmouth County seen movement with judiciary, apart from the person who received on appeal?

I've seen a bear eat a dirty diaper so I'm sure they could make do.

Too many people here are panicking over the car carry restriction. The whole process is so new to Jersey, and police departments and courts are still figuring out what to do. Sure, there may be some activist judges applying restrictions to permits. I think this will all shake out over time as challenges are brought forward to the court regarding these issues, and new directives are created to address them. At least get your process started and hand in your application. Hopefully by the time your permit comes up for renewal in 2 years, all of this stuff will be worked out. Don’t sweat it.

I just jumped over there to take a loki too. Totally unacceptable, well both Dan in emails and Nappin in his Sunday "sermon" this week said they are hot on the car carry issue, I am glad at this point mine hasn't made it to the OC judge just yet. I also read somewhere (maybe even here - lol) that OC has only issued 5 permits post SC ruling.

Well first you have to call the PD and find out if your application was sent to the court. I had to call them a few times in which they were not very happy with me to keep on bothering them. But I didn’t really care, if they would’ve just called me back the first time I called I wouldn’t of had to call them a bunch of times. After that you have to call the court 609-402-0100 ext 47333. Her names milly. Really nice lady and helpful. She has the applications organized on her desk by town.

They'll fix that shortly, to allow just 10 clicks before you have to reload the page, then 10 more clicks, then reload... It is NJ, after all.

They didn't tell me to do anything other than they are holding apps "in a box waiting for guidance from the state or something." If you haven't done so yet for your country, report it to strikeforce.

Report it anyway. They said it’s better to overreport than underreport.

Update to my court letter in Union NJ, my money order has finally been cashed today.

Why can't PD reject application first place? Now resubmit will take another 2 month, this is really upsetting. I am in Somerset but can't see anyone approved from there as well. It will be nightmare to see all upset people soon, I am sure they could say - ink color is wrong, reference is out of NJ, fingerprints are not correct code etc All this just to show their hate to us.

At this point the slow rolling may benefit us slightly giving Strike Force a chance to get rid of some of those restrictions before our Permits are issued and we have to go through a bunch of shit to get them amended. I have a pistol I would like to ad I'm wondering how I'm going to have to get that added to my permit and the reason is I had to wait 30 days to execute the permit and now it sits in NICs purgatory that is currently 7 days behind. I also have had pleasant interactions with the Firearms crew in Records at Berkley (Bayville)

Dropped off original packet to local PD on July 20. Clerk reviewed everything said we’re good. Got a call on 8/7 that it was missing copy of DL. It was on my desk and didn’t see it. Dropped off asap. Called a few times and just told its being processed. Called today and told it was sent to court last week. I was one of the first in my town they said. We’ll see what happens. None of my references were contacted. Money order not cashed yet. Toms River area.

There are already examples of disregarding the law. Cannot carry in a vehicle - illegal Can only carry specific handguns - illegal Placing restrictions on a permit without holding a hearing to allow the applicant to address the Judge's concerns - illegal Openly refusing to process any applications - illegal

Honestly - I believe the Strikeforce is aware of what's happening in ALL counties.

Not a very good technique if your support hand is unavailable for some reason: Managing a child, grappling with your assailant, injured, etc.

Not ignorant at all. Been around a while and tried a lot of techniques for carrying a handgun. Carrying a handgun with an empty chamber when you don’t have to is garbage. It does absolutely nothing to your ability to safely carry a gun and actually makes protecting yourself with a firearm more dangerous. You will not find a reputable instructor in this country that advocates for this method of carry. Plus, if you ever speak with an Israeli instructor that is honest, they will agree that their method is inferior to carrying with a round chambered.

Deactivating the safety, or forgetting to is the result of insufficient training and practice. I compete with striker fired guns without manual safeties (Glock, P320, XD/XDm) and guns with manual safeties (1911, BHP, CZ75). I have no issue making the gun go bang when I want it to from the draw. If you don't handle your gun regularly, yes you could fluff the safety. You could also get a bad grip, not have your sights aligned at the end of the draw stroke, all sorts of things. I have even seen a gun get pulled from the holster and tossed across the range as a competitor swept his concealment garment out of the way - his hand never touched the gun and he earned himself a DQ. Words from top tier guys - "You might practice until you get it right. We practice until we can't get it wrong."
