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....
I searched for a NJ forum just to see if others had a crazy long wait time for pistol permit issuing. I submitted mine to my local municipality. SP Buena Vista on 3/31, which both of my references submitted the surveys immediately.
5/27 got confirmation for NJPortal that I had been approved.
6/18. Still no permit. I’m starting to think it will never come.
