Just wanted to provide some closure to my original post... I recently received my approval for ID card and handgun permits. Took nearly 3 months. I do have one more question though. It says that the permit is good for 90 days. Does anyone know how to obtain an extention? Not quite ready to buy at this point... Thanks!

I thought that STS-033 (i.e. FPID/permit) and SP-066 (mental health) were all that you needed. Which other one are you referring to Tony?

Just wanted to thank everyone for their insightful replies!

Hmmm, so are we to imply that by asking for your employer contact information in the ST33, contacting your employer is permitted? If so, then the release form is really just a tool to ensure your employer's cooperation with the police and as such, would be permitted, justified, etc.

Hi everyone, Long-time lurker, first-time poster. So, I've made decision to apply for the FID and permit in Edison. I've read this forum and the pertinent statutes with a discerning eye (I recently became an attorney). Apparently, the township of Edison is requiring that applicants fill out a release so that they may contact your employer as part of their investigation to determine your eligibility. Does this seem proper to you? On the one hand, I can understand the public policy behind conducting a thorough investigation. On the other hand, I feel that this practice is over-reaching. For example, what information from my employer would they receive that wouldn't be made available in their background searches? At the end of the day, isn't this just a deterrent to those applicants who don't want their employers to know that they have applied for a permit for fear that they would become ostracized? Is anyone aware of other towns with similar policies? I suppose I don't have much of a choice... I'd be interested to hear your thoughts and comments... Thanks!
