NJSP emailed me yesterday letting me know that my NJ Retail License has come back (again) from NJ Superior Court and it will be mailed out today. So, I should have it by end of next week. ATF received my paperwork on Saturday. We are officially cooking with gas!!!

After some rethinking I have finally submitted my ATF paperwork. I contacted ATF and they sent me another packet. I was pretty sure that I didn't fill the first one out correctly so I got another and re-did it. Apparently the IOI will help me when they come for inspection if I missed anything.

The trooper emailed me today. My paperwork is being re-submitted to Bergen County Superior Court and will hopefully be on it's way back to me in a few weeks. Fingers crossed...

Honestly... no. The trooper I dealt with was as easy as pie. He’s busy and doesn’t give a shit either way. At least that’s the feeling I got. He just wants to collect his paycheck and go home. Unfortunately that affects my ability to make a paycheck. But I honestly don’t think it’s malicious. ATF... some of the most efficient civil servants I’ve dealt with. Friendly and they get it done. I text an agent when I need advice on how to proceed and he responds very quickly. He does it simply so I don’t get screwed down the line and have something out of order.

Still nothing. I emailed the trooper and if nothing had turned up by yesterday (Friday) then on Monday he is going to re-submit to the courts and get a second license going. So, another month before I have a hardcopy in hand at least.

My NJ Retail License is still "lost". I emailed the trooper in charge of my case and asked if they can send a replacement. I've not heard back and honestly, don't expect to until I send a second email. The best part... my buddy applied for his "pink card" and has already received it. Go figure. I filled out the ATF paperwork and that will get sent Monday as long as I have my buddy's stuff to send as well. I figure I may as well send it all in together. On another note, the office is coming along. I'm trying to make it a gun shop that doesn't look like a gun shop. I want a nice atmosphere to work in. I'm happy with it. Pieces and parcels of it are on my IG: Bullygunworks

I'll have to take a good look. I'm planning on giving them a complete look-see this weekend.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. I brought the remainder of my application (ATF) to work and will Get it in the mail either today or tomorrow morning. I appreciate the direction.

Problem is that if it's not here when ATF does the inspection I can get delayed. That's what I'm hearing anyway.

Soooooooo.... yeah. My NJ Retail License was sent, certified, to my office. I am not there often and the carrier did not know who I am and/or where the mail was supposed to go. It got sent back to NJSP. I spent most of Monday sorting out my mail situation. I did get to meet the carrier and she seems very nice and willing to help in any way she can. Additionally the building manager assigned me a PO box that is a more direct link to me (I didn't know it was an option). So hopefully that will be all sorted out now. I also have working internet, which is good. It's just this damn retail license...

I agree. That said, it's also been a dramatic concerto of unfortunate circumstance.

Buy a t-shirt big boi...

2 weeks and I have not received my NJ Retail license. I've also not received some other mail that I've been expecting (at my shop/office) so I A) reached out to NJSP to see if they have a tracking number. The Trooper in charge did not have one on hand but will ask one of the assistants when she is back, hopefully tomorrow; and B) reached out to my building manager to make sure I'm not missing something regarding the mail. Again, as soon as I have that retail license in hand I will mail my ATF packet. I'm a bit frustrated but all in all I'm certain that it will work itself out.

I mean... maybe

My NJ Retail License to Sell Firearms is in the mail. Left Trenton on the 23rd according to the trooper. I went to Tuxedo Park, NY and got my fingerprints done this morning for ATF (paper/ink) and as soon as I have my NJ License in hand I will submit my ATF paperwork. I was advised by ATF to not submit until I actually have the paper in hand as any delay in receiving it will delay my ATF paperwork which is less than desirable. I am truly on the move now and am hoping to have it by end of August.

My town is not allowing anyone besides workers in the building... Dont get me started.

ATF requires hard copy paper/ink fingerprints. Finding someone that still does paper/ink printing that's open (COVID) was fun (not!!) However, I did find somone in Tuxedo, NY and have an appointment on Monday the 26th of July. Additionally I'm still waiting on a response from NJSP about my retail license. They've had it in hand since the 13th but the trooper in charge of my case is not answering emails and no one in firearms is picking up the phone. Kinda sucks. I figure that the trooper I've been dealing with is on vacation but really guys... I'm paying rent here.

I have the paperwork from ATF and will be sending it in in the next day or two. I'm waiting to hear back from NJSP. They received my Retail License from superior court on the 13th. I emailed the trooper in charge of my case but have not heard back from him yet.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... That warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you arrive home to a packet from the Department of Justice.

It looks like my ATF packet got lost in the mail. I called them yesterday and the gent said it went out on the 6th. I have not received it yet. He then took my info and promised to call me back. 10 minutes later he did with priority tracking for FedEx. The packet should be here today. NJSP has not received my NJ Firearms Retail License yet either. The court clerk was not in yesterday as evidenced by her not answering the phone, so I'll reach out again today. I do have t-shirts for sale if anyone is interested. I have 1 small and a bunch of Large and X-Large. DM me with a cell and I'll send a pic.

Hopefully he's "modding" it in to a CZ...

I just got off the phone with ATF. My application packet should be here in a week or so. I also spoke with the superior court judge's clerk. She has my retail license and will be turning it around to NJSP either tomorrow or Monday. So that "shoulddddddd" be in my hands in a week and an half or so.

About a month, give or take.

What's a Sig?

Heh. That makes two of us wishing it was done.
