So it appears there won’t be hearings for Burlington County, which is nice if accurate.

Update from admin in the Burlington county fb group : pasting pertinent info from there … “I then called the Burlington County court and spoke with someone in the criminal division. Once the police are done with their part, they send it via mail to the prosecutors office. They do whatever it is they do and if they have no objections forward it to the judge. The judge hearing these cases in Terrence R. Cook who is the presiding judge for the criminal division. If it is NOT rejected, he is not requiring a hearing (in person or via zoom) and is signing and mailing them back to the police department. He wouldn't/couldn't answer when I asked if they were/have been been issued thus far.” Burlington county Fb group for those interested: https://www.facebook.com/groups/286849840306649/?ref=share

If anyone in Burlington county wants to call and check status/light a fire under their asses below is the contact info you need for the guy handling. His name is Alex. Below is his direct extension. 609-288-9500 X-38604 The more of us who call the better. Maybe they’ll start moving their asses. Edit- Shouldnt need to be said but obviously be respectful if you call.

I posted an update in the other thread. Will paste it here and update going forward. I’ve heard nothing further along in the process anywhere. I check Facebook, Reddit, and here . “Money order was cashed yesterday. Hopefully I’ll have a permit soon. Burlington county Got packet from PD 7/5. Qualified 7/6 at rtsp. Prints done and app turned in 7/7. Police sat on for two weeks. Detective called references and employer 8/3. Sent to superior court 8/5. Forwarded to county prosecutor 8/15. Money order cashed 8/17. Will update when necessary. Hopefully sooner than later.”

I left mine blank for PD to fill in.

Money order cashed yesterday. Hopefully I’ll have a permit soon. Burlington county Got packet from PD 7/5. Qualified 7/6 at rtsp. Prints done and app turned in 7/7. Police sat on for two weeks.

Congrats

Just spoke to the Burlington county court again. They received my app and it was given to the prosecutors office yesterday. Now we see how long this portion of the process takes. My town (Mt Laurel) mailed it to them certified on 8/5. Find it hard to believe it took 10 days to go from Mt. Laurel to Mt. Holly, which means they’ve been sitting on it. Effing Burlington county…

Congrats

When I first moved here 15ish years ago and was getting my fid card that was a hold up for me. They were sitting on it because ct doesn’t have county level administration. When I called to get an update they asked for the nearest mental health facility to my town and then contacted them. Got the ball rolling.

I’m concerned that we’re only hearing good news from certain counties. I know that as of last week my app was/still is with the Burlington county prosecutor’s office. As for my county that’s the furthest along in the process I’ve heard of. As soon as I hear reliable information that Burlington county has issued a permit I’ll update. Hopefully it’ll be my own permit. Others in quiet counties should do the same.

Nice. Which county?

Fucking hell ...

Fucking Burlington County ... Any hopes of a nonbullshit filled process with the courts was dashed 10 min's ago. Called the court house to discuss turnaround times. They couldn't/wouldn't provide a turnaround time. Guy on the phone said all applications are going to the prosecuters office for review prior to Judge Terrence Cook signing them. They get 30 days then I'm having a laywer write a letter. We can't play games with these people. Hopefully they follow the law/guidance and I'll have my permit early September.

100% agree with you. I wanted it so I could reference it if needed in my phone call. I’m aware it’ll make little to no difference but still wanted to have it. That said, your link would indicate that the NJ Supreme Court directed the Administrative Director to release this document, thus giving it some weight. Again, I agree with you, I’m just saying that in a just world the mention of a directive issued by the state Supreme Court should be enough to get them moving.

Thank you! Just saved it.

Even though the woman who processes these told me I was done and she was mailing to superior court after chief signed last week, I’ve now gotten written confirmation that she mailed them last Thursday or Friday. I know it was posted here somewhere but I’m not looking through 38 pages … anyone have the statute handy that lays out the time frame the judge has to approve? I fear now the real wait begins. Someone earlier posted the judge approving in another county. He was part of the criminal division. Of the 4 judges I could find political affiliations for online that are in the Burlington county criminal division 2 are Republicans. Not that it should matter but maybe if one of them is handling they won’t drag their ass quite as much. I’ll give it a week or two before I call for an update and also ask who is signing. If anyone in Burlington county knows before then please share.

Besides being a bit pricey and needing another permit from anywhere it’s not bad. First time I applied it was approved relatively quickly. Renewal was never an issue … until I didn’t renew, like a moron.

Nice. I grew up in Fairfield County. I don’t miss the type of people up there( Fairfield County) but I do miss the landscape/scenery. Beautiful state.

Sucks. Where abouts do you work up there?

It should. I just talked to my girl there around 3 today. She is great. I’m approved. Chief will be signing mine and 9 others in the AM and she’s mailing to superior court tomorrow. So guarantee your buddies is with mine. She said we’re the first ten in our town. Feel free to give him a status update. as for discrepancy in calling employer, I’d assume it’s different detectives handling different folders. will get another update tomorrow as I have to go in for fingerprints. Let my CT nonresident expire like an idiot. Have to go through whole application process again.

Everything was current. PD gave me old form in their packet. I downloaded updated one and submitted that. I dotted all my I’s and crossed all my T’s. Thanks though. Appreciate the response. I’m just venting as there is really nothing else I can do about it at the moment.

Why is any of this part of the process? It is what it is. I expected it. Didn’t expect my PD to sit on it for 30 days. I’ve gotten pistol permits and FID changes done in an average of 7 days. If it goes more than 60 I’ll be lawyering up.
