I dropped off my full packet this morning at my local PD (Hopatcong, NJ - Sussex County). The admin at the records desk said everything was ok and I was good to go...I asked her for my code to get finger prints and she said I did not need them since I had "activity" within the last 6 months (she was referring to my 2 pistol permits I put in for and received in June). I asked her to clarify exactly where that information came from and she said they received it from the state police....I told her that's not what I heard and she said she's been putting all applications through like that...
It goes against everything I've seen, including the June 30th email from Mark Campagna at the NJSP which was posted earlier in this thread. I'm thinking I should have insisted on speaking with one of the detectives or someone higher up at the dept. Do you guys think I should go back and get further clarification on this? Could be mistaken, but I don't recall seeing anyone else have this particular issue. I'd hate for months to go by only to find out my application is lost or rejected because my local PD didn't follow the directions.
