Easy transaction and good communication - would definitely do business with in future.

Driver's license would be my first thought - do you have a NJ DL and if not, the DL Number would likely not match what was associated with the FID which in theory could be problematic?

Bayonne took a photocopy of my license as well - didn't seem like a problem to me since they all have to match (DL, FID, P2P)

When I got my FID and P2Ps a week or so ago, there was an officer in there along with what may have been a retired Det or other LEO helping get the paperwork straightened out. My guess is that they're getting crushed under number of requests along with some pressure to get stuff pushed through...

To possess a handgun in NY, you must have a permit issued by the county court system.

Awesome - should be a great day!

:Bump: Anyone else interested in the class this weekend? I'm very excited to get some training in - PM me if you're planning to come!

I'm a big fan of the M&P line. I have a MP45 as well and enjoy it. However, the 9mm version has become my favorite. Welcome to the forums.

Are you a member of any shooting organizations such as IDPA, USPSA, or 2A organizations such as NJ2AS or ANJRPC? They likely report their rolls to the mothership. Other possibilities might be gun show registration... or if they have a subscription to something like Jigsaw or data.com they could possibly segment you out for a mass mailer. Best to not ask how...

A saving grace for the counter-man, the renter likely had FMJ bullets that, barring hitting something solid, wouldn't have deformed too much... whereas, the counter man hopefully had HPs. A through and through would be better than something pancaking.

Guy here said that their inventory system tracks at summary item level. This means if there are variants of a particular platform, they don't see stock in each category so they don't get more ordered.

Had the same experience with NY state.

This the same day as my GFH class - January it is...

It's not a matter of not knowing which I want - I have the list... it's more which I should buy first!

Final count.... 15 weeks :-( Any chance you want to meet up at the Bayonne Range tonight?

Kings - great point. I'm currently shooting IDPA most often as plan to occasionally shoot USPSA. I'd love to play with the steel stuff at some point. I think the next purchase will likely be a HD type pistol though the idea of getting the M&P 22 is interesting since it would fit my current holsters. The attraction the to Pro would be a pistol I could use for a division other than SSP and enhance further - magwell, stippling etc. 1911 would be a safe queen I think and would likely live in 9mm if I had a choice. Thanks for the feedback brother.

Today is a happy day, Bayonne PD gave me a ring to let me know my FID and 2 P2Ps are ready for pickup today. They'll be in hand and I know just what to do - BUY. BUT, I'm uncertain of what to buy first... I've wanted a number of guns and have been lusting over oh so many of late. I know that I want a Glock in the safe at some point, and I know I already have the M&P9mm. I'm thinking about an M&P Pro 9, a G17 or G19 (in FDE if possible), some sort of 1911 for kicks... then long guns :-) Anyone have suggestions? (Edited to include Poll)

Took a little bit longer than I expected... Dropped off 3 August, got the call today 19 Nov (15 Weeks) 1. Application type (FID/permit w/ existing FID).: Initial I.D. and 2 P2P 2. Police Department where you applied.: Bayonne PD - Avenue C, Town Hall 3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD.: Det Schaefer 4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit.: 15 weeks 5. Documents required by the PD (aside from the standard application and the mental health release form). NONE. 6. Notes - anything pertaining to the application process (unforeseen difficulties, chief of police calling your home, you hiring an attorney, etc.). There was a delay at the NJSP as told to me by one of the sergeants. I had submitted by fingerprints at Morpho 27 July but as of mid october, they hadn't been received back from NJSP to local PD. Then of course, there was Sandy that slowed everything up.

I'm a big fan of the M&P 9. With some loving to the internals (polishing the sear and some spring work from the Massachusetts Legal 10lb pull), this firearm has become a sweet shooter and a joy to run.
