Fort Lee Bergen county Put in my app May 3rd received initial FID July 20 so not terrible i guess. But my reference was a Sgt in another PD so it may have helped me out. No additional forms but i believe if it was not for my reference they were going to contact my school/work. Put in PPs on July 20 been a week so far but they said theyre not contacting references since its so soon. Hoping for 30days or less.

Hey all, As you guys may have seen my previous thread complaining about pistol permits and such, i picked up my FID July 20th and put pistol permits in that same day. I am lucky bc theyre not contacting my refrences again so pretty much all it should be is that background check and A signature from the captain. Now I was wondering is this background check the same as the one they do when you go to purhase a firearm? How long does this check take? And who does this check? FBI and NJSP again? When i spoke with the captain he said once you have your initial FID then its a much quicker process to get your p2p. Which from what i hear is not necessarily true.

I was 20 when i filled out the form for my FID and it was on its way for the most part by the time i turned 21. But when i talked to the captain yesterday he told me to go right to him if i want a pistol after i get a rifle so thats whats getting to me. He didnt say fill out a form for permits or anything so idk its shaddy but it also seems like hes trying to be nice...

Called my PD today bc its been a week since they contacted my refrence(retired Sgt). Ive been trying to get them to amend my paperwork to add P2Ps since i just turned 21. The ladies at records have tried transfering me to the captain 2 prior to today. Luckly i get in touch w him today. So i explain to him my situation and he talked about my refrence and that i was spoken highly about blah blah and he told me to just buy a rifle. Now ive been wanting a handgun for a while now and hes trying to push me to buy a rifle telling me pistols r expensive and such and that i should buy a rifle and if i want a pistol to go back to him for permits. But to be honest i just want my p2p.. So i just politely say thanks for the help and we hang up. Later that day while im at work my dad at home gets a call that my FID is in. Im going to pick it up tmrw unsure whether or not P2Ps r added most likely not. Should i just ask to talk to the captain or any one have any good advice as to how i should go about this? My dad and gf both pretty much said to just tell him that ive been looking into handguns and i no what i want and such.

Just looking around and figuring buying ammo in bulk would be my best bet for saving money. I have a question about 9mm ammo though since im new and what not. Does it mean anything that the rounds say luger on them? I was looking at wolf and Brown bear ammo and they are really cheap in bulk. I was wondering if i were to shoot them out of a 92fs or sig2022 would they harm the pistol in anyway? Is it worth it to spend the extra cash? Pistol will b used for range shooting

I definetly am thinking of joining a 2A active group. The thing is though there are no additional forms but i did not give them the right to contact my school or employeer which my employeer was not on my app bc i got hired after the initial app for my FID. The PD is just going above and beyond to make sure all my info is correct on my app i guess and takin forever to do it. And honestly all this crap makes me just want my FID more and no way would i think to just quit on this process.

Lol. God fort lee is so bad with this crap. This is the kinda stuff that makes me want to get involved with all these 2A politically active groups and such. Why should my school or employeer be cotacted about this? And if i am going through the same process for a P2P and FID why cant i just amend to add a p2p? Like this crap is redic. My FBI check is in as are my reference letters! That should be enough proof!

No originally applied just for my FID no P2P bc im not 21. I want to amend it when i turn 21 since its the same stupid application and crap.

Im 20 i turn 21 in two weeks. Originally applied for only my FID since i am not 21. Sry for the confusion i am at work typing on my phone.

Sry to bump this tread and double post but i didnt want to create a new thread. So i called in again today to see wats going on and such. My papers from the FBI and state police r in! But heres the issue. No one knows wtf they r talking about. The lady today tells me i wont get a call from the chief til im 21 bc i cant own a firearm until i am 21 -.- i asked if i can amend the paperwork for a PP when i turn 21 if i dont get my FID by then. She sounded confused and didnt seem to know the answer. Pretty much it was just "when the chief calls you to pick up your FID ask if you can amend it. Otherwise i have to wait for the FID to come in then apply again and my refrences have to be contacted AGAIN. My refrences still have to be called and so does my place of work or school... I feel this is a bit rediculous that they may call my school or job! It makes me really nervous... Anyone else going through crap like this?

Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply!

So i just realized that there is a section to input whether or not you are employed on the FID application. I put in the app May 5th and i was not employed or even interviewed until a week later and started to work May 31st. I put N/A i think or student on the app. Is this an issue??

So i called up the records dept while at work. Told them what happend and asked if the chief has them. They said no way but theyll look around. I waited a bit and they found the letters... Sooo i say if you know your refrences mailed ur stuff back harass records til u get an answer -.-

So to start both references have the same address. (GFs mom and dad, dads a sgt) so anyway her mom gets the letter but dad doesnt. I go back to the station and request it to be resent May 24. The other letter was sent atleast a week earlier. Her dads ref letter was sent to the station the week before last. I had my dad go into ask whether my paperwork was in or not just to be sure. Records says they did not receive any letters. Now my gf's dad is saying it goes right to the captain. I do not know what is going on or where to go from here. Any help would be great. Edit: sry writing this at work so trying to clarify a few things. I live in fort lee my gf's dad is a retired wayne sgt.

Hey all! So my app has been in almost 2 weeks. The other day i went to mikes gun shop to check the place out. He said a few things that kinda put me on edge. I told him my app is in but just for the FID not p2p bc im not 21 so i figured ill get the p2p when i turn 21 bc it should be a shorter wait. I told him i live in fort lee and he said it might take 6 months. So it really got me worried bc if they both take 6 months that means i have to wait a year to get a handgun.. Anyone have any experience with fort lee or any infortmation on what i can do to help the process? He said it got better but idk what that means. Im really worried im going to have to wait a year for all this crap to go through.

Hey guys!! Been actually somewhat trolling this site for a few months lol. Really great info here. Just put in my app for my FID going in for fingerprints next thursday. On my way to purchasing my first firearm. I have shot at bullet hole once with my girlfriend and her dad he was an officer in the wayne police force. also shot at thunder mountain just some trap shooting that was my first time shooting a gun. anyway great site hope to talk to you all soon
