My application has been with the Mercer County Superior Court for 70 days. The man who receives the application and sends it to the judge and back to the PD stated my application was received (Aug 26) and in the 50s. Therefore there are less than 60 people ahead of me and I'm still waiting. I understand someone mentioned on October 13th that Mercer issued two permits, as of today I still have not. At this rate, there has to be some sort of delay.

I was informed that I had approximately 50 people ahead of me. I'll post again once I receive an update.

I did send an Email to Strike Force today. Also, I don't recall the name of the person, however he is the person that receives and processes (sending and receiving the documents to and from the PO, judge, and police department) the application. The Mercer County Superior Court phone number is 609-571-4200. At the menu prompt enter extension 74050 to speak with the person in question.

The courts being involved goes back to prohibition. During that time, police chiefs issued liquor licenses to ineligible people that paid a bribe. It resulted in laws being written, which included the judiciary in the licensure review process. Consequently, a similar scheme was written into law for issuing carry permits.

Your assumption was correct. I submitted my application Tuesday July 19, 2022. Thanks for catching that detail, I corrected my original post.
