The township Lt called me this AM and I went right up to the Police station and Have MY Permit and and Fire Arm ID card...MY Stupid ex-Employer still has to send the letter that they sent the bad reference for the wrong person.. This is great for my legal action with the employer. Now my husband and I will pick out our new firearms. I am getting excited. Thank you all who helped me with support to fight this. Last Friday everything seemed bleak on my prospects for the permits.

It is strange that the township police did not ask for any more money...now that I think about is is kind of odd. The place the Lt from the State police recommended is Ocean Tactical...

Well....As of yesterday the stupid lawyer for my employer had not called back the PD...and of course it still needs to be investigated. The conversation that I had with the state police LT said that their response or lack of response would be telling. On Friday the LT/DT called and left a message with the employers lawyer...No response was recieved. I re-filled out paperwork... Today the I called the township LT and he stalled stating he still needed to get the employer stuff settled. I reminded him that I may have lost my job because of this inquiry and the timemg of the unfavorable reference was suspicious. Again for its brevity and lack of specifics. I reminded him of the conversation with the state police. He continued on the tack that he had to follow the procedures. My husband spoke to him and was quite upset over this nonsense. He threatened to file a complaint/lawsuit and go to a judge over this and that we were evaluating our options. A short time later I recieved a very friendly call back from the township LT. He made the call himself to the employers lawyer. The lawyer explained that it was all a big mistake and the letter was to be sent on behalf of another employee who they did not feel should own a firearm. I placed a call to the State Police again and just recieved friendly call that I explained the recent activities. He reassured me that I should recieve the permit without any further delay. I asked him for advise on what I should buy and he asked me what I wanted the firearm for personal protection or target shooting. I explained I had initially wanted something for target practice but after this mess I woonder if personal protection might be more suitable. He than gave me a reference for one of the Retailers on this website. And he welcomed me to the Republic Of New Jersey. He also said that this was all good for my lawsuit against my employer Phew.. What next

I think to get even.... I will run for Mayor in this one horse town.... I Never thought I would feel good having to litigate ...Next battle my wrongful termination and harassment suit... ...After that the NJ Department of Enviormental Protection also knnown as the New Jersey Delay Evade and Procrastinate.... 08758

After I get my permit my husband and I plan to buy something each he has an 2 old 22 Winchester rifles. I want to by something nice and learn to shoot it well. We are planning to try a lot of firearms out...THANKS TO ALL 08758

I have good news. I will pick up my permit tommorow. It seems as if a few calls of righteous indignation helped me. I called the NJSP Tuckerton Barricks to ask about the screening procedures. I was referred to the NJSP in Trenton to the Firearms ID program. I left a message on voicemail and then called back later in the day and spoke to a administrative assistant who took my information and passed it on to the head of the unit. I was called back and we discussed the situation. I read the 2 line letter that resulted in my denial. This man actually called the local police Lt. and discussed it with him and a call was placed yesterday to the attorney who wrote the letter for my employer. The rationale was that if my employer was serious that I should not own a firearm that they would respond in a timely fashion. As my initial reference sat for at least a month or more and then was so vague. The letter from my employer came 3 days after I was fired... No one returned the call to the PD. SO I HAVE MY PERMIT. My employment lawyer feels that this is the continued harassment on the part of my former employer and that with all other references and background checks OK it seems as if the local PD and NJSP do too. I will post tomorrow when I have the permits in hand. 08758

Thanks all...I have contacted a lawyer recommended by NJ2A and put him in touch with my lawyer who is involved with the wrongful termination issue. My husband is having kittens with this. He was born in 1939 in Berlin Germany and gets all upset when he/I have to confront goverment bullies. Just filling out any goverment paperwork gives him the shakes. The employment lawyer couldn't believe that she got a lawyer to send the letter to the Detective. THANKS AGAIN

Thanks for the help. My attorney is in NY and said he thinks this is crazy on the part of my employer. The letter is dated after my termination date. It is just a big mess 08758

My husband and I applied for permits in our town in Ocean County. The detective called yesterday and said that he had good news and bad news. The good news was for my husband who recieved his FID and a handgun purchace permit. The bad news was that my employer did not agree that I should own a gun. I have recently left this employer and have a case for wrongful termination with them. I have called the attorney that is representing me on this matter. The detective said I could go before a Superior court judge about this. He also suggested I could reapply in a few months. I just wanted this to go to the range when the grandchildren from Montana are here and to have legal ownership of any of the guns my husband may own if anything happens to him. Any Ideas or suggestions?
