Letter to the Chief as mentioned and waiting, they have your file don't worry. Some towns process FID applications quickly others take their sweet time, county doesn't matter. The other option would be contacting a firearms attorney who'd charge big bucks to send a letter to the Chief which may or may not expedite things.

Citing N.J. statutes to the local PD will get you nowhere. To quote NJGF member "Fslater"- "I'm sure almost everyone here already knows this, but the precedent for ignoring the 30 day STATUTE (it is an actual statute) was set by a judge in Camden years ago who ruled public safety supersede the statute, and a card need not be issued or denied until the issuing authority has competed it investigation (without any time limitation what so ever). https://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/100166-first-time-gun-applicant-been-over-6-months-bergen-county/ You're only three months in, others have waited five or six months lately. If you're going to contact them again limit it to the Chief only (he signs FID cards), in writing, (no e-mail, no texts). Keep it short and to the point as a follow up to the phone call with him regarding the status of your FID application. Don't bother mentioning the call from the retiree, his prostate was probably acting up that day.

1981 sounds about right. Mine was a 1994 and had a Police Magnum rollmark and no Wingmaster logo. Beautiful bad ass looking shotgun but the short police forearm stock was awkward, plus it was heavy and kicked hard even with target loads. I still have my Remington 1100 20ga purchased new at Walmart, I'm never selling that..

The above situation is why I can see many people getting to the employer question and not taking their FID application any further. (124gr9mm- Rest assured the calls received and your firearm ownership have all been duly noted in your company personnel file.)

Its way older than 98 with the Wingmaster rollmark and no Police markings Rem Police 870's models did not have fancy grade stocks. That one has a lot of hard miles on it and will probably sell for a riduculous price. I'm still kicking myself for selling a mint in the box Police 870 a year before the panic hit. I would have got double what it sold for.

Contrary to common belief around here some PD's do contact employers, my town is one of them. Its an insidious question and shitty for the PD's to call since employment is supposedly not a condition for approval. That question was deliberately put there to discourage certain people from applying and possibly cause issues with their employer if they do.

Forgot to mention 12ga pump shotgun recoil=brutal. Another thing to consider for HD weapon; what if you just want to investigate some noise or whatever outside the house without revealing you're armed or the neighbors seeing you in the driveway with a shotgun. Handgun can easily be tucked in a back pocket.

I was going to mention that but firing off a N.J. compliant AR with a pinned and welded muzzle brake indoors would likely cause permanent hearing damage.

I'd suggest a 9mm semi-auto handgun as primary HD weapon. Shotgun as backup. Shotguns, especially pump action, are poor choices for primary HD: Very easy to short stroke under high stress conditions, low capacity, slow to reload, heavy, difficult for female family members to use.

Yes, letters work. When the IRS or a collection agency go after someone they send a letter.

Thats part and parcel of the commie psychological humiliation process. Rubbing your nose in it by forcing compliance with ridiculous rules and mandates.

https://www.estatesales.net/NJ/Somerset/08873/2785848 Here is one; check out photo # 205, thats a 2.5 gal Rubbermaid can in the garage, if they have lawnmowers or other power equipment they almost always have gas cans as well. Hit a few of these and you have more cans then you need and probably lots other stuff too.

Estate sales are great sources for old style fuel cans at give away prices. Check out https://www.estatesales.net/NJ/Northern-New-Jersey for listings in your area. Last estate sale I went to they had a bunch of them in the shed, I'm already well stocked so I didn't buy any. I would suggest several 2.5 gal cans if you don't have the strength for the 5 gal. size.

Depends on the season i.e. losing power in a northeast winter verse a summer storm. Bare minimum is heat, (if winter conditions), and water to flush toilets, without those the house is almost uninhabitable. Add senior citizens into the situation and it gets even more difficult.

And for sure he will be a reliable committed hard core leftist. He won't be recusing himself or suppressing any negative information, real or imagined, on republicans.

Yes, I've used Monmouth Arms. Okay, didn't know that- Thanks.

Thats another question. What if instead of pinning the stock the FFL just removed the collapsable stock, then transferred rifle and stock separately?

Is an AR carbine with a MOE front pistol grip (broom handle type) N.J. compliant. ? If not, could the transferring FFL just detach the offending pistol grip and then legally transfer the rifle? -Thanks

Thanks to Gov. Jim (flim-flam) Florio N.J. got it's own AWB in 1990, four years before Clinton's 1994 AWB. He rammed it through his first year in office as the dems always do with unpopular legislation hoping voters will forget. In fact, the national AWB was modeled on the N.J. version. Florio was bounced out after one term but the AWB remains, which the old bastard remains quite proud of BTW.

No way in hell would I submit to an interview with the cops unless I'm under arrest and have my attorney present. He should have contacted a firearms attorney when they tried pulling that crap. But this is how local PD's bully and intimidate FID applicants who are babes in the woods and unfamiliar with the process.

Irreplaceable. They just don't make them like that anymore. This year is going from bad to worse.

Right. Murphy would have no problem with implementing NY or CA style laws in N.J. He is just biding his time.

Caught me off guard. I had my FID my since the last days of the Clinton administration but owned Elmer Fudd guns; .357 revolvers, shotguns, a few .22's and considered myself well armed. Also, the Obama era panics didn't concern me too much because I had Fudd guns and other stuff going on in my life at the time Eventually I decided to modernize the "arsenal", sell off some items and use the proceeds towards AR's, double stacked striker 9mm, etc, a year or so after Trump won and was starting to build out when the covid scam hit. I got some really good deals but at the same time sold off items for half of what they're selling for post covid.

The laws here in N.J. were passed years ago, we're already SOL: FID cards, intrusive background checks, 10 round mags, 1 gun a month, handgun purchase permits (registration), N.J. compliant AR's, etc. What they're pushing is N.J. type laws applied on the national level. Thats going to be a tough sell in congress. Biden has nearly zero political capital and this is not 1994.

Last I read it was 112,000 guns sold in N.J. through September of 2020. Even adding another 20,000 a month that is still less that 200,000 for the year. New Jersey has long way to go to get anywhere near 30%.
