Well, the verdict is in.... they made me wait 22 weeks just to DENY my application, because i was arrested for marijuana possession 10 years ago when i was 17... i hate this state... if you asked me this morning, i would have said i like living in NJ, now i absolutely hate it

im having the exact same problem... can anyone suggest a lawyer?

Hey all, Ive been waiting for my FID and PPs from my local PD for a pretty long time. I applied in mid September and haven't heard anything from them, aside from when i call to complain and get a cock-and-bull story. Its been like 20 weeks or so, so i think i might seek the help of a lawyer. Has anyone had any experience using lawyers in this capacity? Can anyone recommend one? Also, how much might something like this cost me? I assume all a lawyer would do is call the police and pester them for me...but i dont know. Anyone have any advice for me? thanks in advance

Week 19: just went by the police station, the detective was nice and all, but no luck gettin permits yet. he said that he never got my background check back from the state, so he called them and he said that they're mailing it to him, which is why its taking so long... i asked him if it would take much longer after he got the background check back, and he couldnt give me an answer, said maybe, it depends. he told me i could stop inquiring and he'll call me when something happens. :roll: :angry-screaming: i want my permits!!!!

Thanks alot guys, i'm certainly going to come one of these wednesdays, sounds like a great way to start getting into shooting! I look forward to seeing you all there :text-thankyoublue:

ive always loved the look of the Beretta 92, but for some reason i thought it would be on the big side for me, ive got average-small sized hands. meeting up with some guys would be awesome, ive been wanting to get into shooting as a hobby for a long time, but cant convince any of my friends to come. ive been hesitant to go by myself, i dont wanna look like a tool and not know what im doing, ya know?...maybe ill get a NJGF shirt, so you can recognize me, and head down there one of these wednesdays

Hey all, im looking into buying my first gun, that is if my permits ever come through, and ive narrowed it down to a few and was hoping for some opinions. im generally pretty broke all the time, so ive been looking at less expensive full size 9mms, heres what ive narrowed it down to: Ruger p95 S&W sigma series (sw9ve) Taurus pt 24/7 does anyone have experience with any of these? also, feel free to suggest alternatives. im open to buying used, as well also, i wanted to see how some of these fit in my hand, so i went to the bullet hole in bellville, and they told me i cant even touch a gun without my FID card... anyone know where i can hold, or maybe even rent one of these guns? any comments or opinions are welcome, thanks in advance!

ill second that, about the good food! love it.... thats good to know, i pass that dicks all the time. my fiance works right next door... ill check it out sometime, thanks!

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone! I know just what you mean about the area, i lived off campus for 3 years, had 1 car stolen, the next car broken into and radio stolen, and had my place broken into 4 times, once they actually came into my room and took my wallet while i slept....very unsettling as far as HD weapons, i was planning on getting a 9mm handgun for my first (about to make another post about which i should get) and ive also had my eye on a mossberg 500.... im a little broke at the moment, so we'll see! very excited! :banana-dance:

Hey folks, hows it goin? Ive been lurking around the board for a few weeks, and making a post or two, but i figured i should formally introduce myself. Im a total n00b when it comes to firearms, ive only shot a bolt action .22 when in boy scouts like 15 years ago, but i loved it! Recently moved in with my fiance here in New Brunswick (not the best area), and decided its about time to invest in a HD weapon. Ive been researching firearms extensively since i applied for my permits in september, and hope to get some good advice from you all on the subject! So, hello!

thanks for the advice! ive called twice and gotten 2 cock-n-bull stories, so i think it is time for a stop in... the only thing im afraid of is that theyll say "stop annoying us, itl be ready when its ready" and then theyll move my application right back on the bottom of the stack out of spite... every time i talk to the detective he treats me like im ruining his day by asking when my permits will be in.... next time im passing by, though ill stop in

17 weeks :evil:

been waiting 15 weeks now, since september! called today and the detective said they were waiting to get the prints back from the state police... great, i hope i can get myself the gun i wanted for my birthday in february, waiting is the worst

10 and a half weeks now for me, how hard can it be to do a background check? :evil: :evil: :evil:

Hi folks, its my first post here! Ive just been anxious waiting for my FID and PP to come through. Very excited to buy my first gun! I submitted the paperwork on sept 24th in Montclair. When i submitted it they told me it would be about a month and a half. Since tomorrow is 8 weeks exactly i decided to give them a call today. The lady i talked to said it usually takes 7-8 weeks, and had me leave a voicemail for the detective. He seemed pretty nice when i did the paperwork and fingerprinting, but he hasent gotten back to me yet. I cant wait!
