Letter "b"

Update**: Spoke with my Local PD.. Mine came in today. Looks like we are finally done with this Essex County Ordeal! Now, according to them, i just need to wait for the chief to sign. God knows how long that will take! haha

yea.. i don't get it though. If they are "Starting H".. why is it that my last name starts with a "B" and i still haven't heard from my local PD?

My last name starts with a "B" and i can confirm that I have not received a call yet. Tried calling over the past couple days and the Sarg in charge was not available.

This could easily be picked up by other media outlets. All we have to do is point out the article in the Wall Street Journal and any conservative commentator with half a brain will be using it to bash the liberal gun agenda.

This is excellent news. Great job.

I just left her a voicemail. Will definitely be sharing my story if I get a call back... I'm surprised by the lack of commentary. Finally some traction and all we hear are crickets? lol

EVERYBODY GET ON THIS!! IM AT WORK OTHERWISE I'D BE CALLING NOW!!

Exactly, that's what i'm wondering. Does anybody know if they do this by snail mail, or if they do it by fax or phone?

Again, does anybody know how long it should take the police department to find out that the mental health check has been cleared? For example, if Nancy has "cleared" those who have last names that start with A through C, when will their respective police departments get word of that? A day later? Two days? A week? All insight welcome!

I've been waiting since September 20th, 2012 for two PP's. I already have my FID. My last name starts with a "B".

I guess the question is.. how long does it take from the point of time that Nancy "sends it out" to reaching the actual police department. Any ideas?

I sent the following email to every media outlet i could possibly think of: Title: ATTN: NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS EFFECTIVELY STRIPPED OF 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHT Hello, My name is Michael. I am a resident of New Jersey. I’ve lived here for my entire life, and have never felt so betrayed by my state. New Jersey is a typical “blue state”. That means that on social issues, New Jersey leans blue. It also means that during presidential elections, more of our residents regularly pull for the Democrat. However, that does not mean that there are not conservative-minded people here in New Jersey. One of the rising stars in the Republican Party is our Governor, Chris Christie. In any event, I am a gun owner. In New Jersey, in order to purchase a firearm, one must first acquire an FPID (Firearms Purchase Identification) card. Receiving one of these cards requires extensive background checks (criminal and mental health) and even a trip to the local police station to get fingerprinted. Once someone acquires this card, they are then allowed to purchase “long guns”, such as rifles and shotguns. Additionally, if a New Jersey resident is interested in purchasing and/or owning a handgun, they must also acquire a separate permit for each and every purchase. That means that they must already have their FPID card, and then they must go through the same system of background checks for a separate permit that is good for one (1) pistol purchase. As you know, Hurricane Sandy ripped up through the east coast and caused a ton of damage. New Jersey was one of the states that took the most damage. According to New Jersey’s Essex County, part of the damage sustained was to the building in that county (Essex, the most populous) that holds the residents’ “mental health records”. These mental health records were apparently on index cards in the building’s basement. This hurricane happened in October of 2012. Six months later, the mental health records have not been restored to their previous status. There have been conflicting reports on whether or not they have even been restored at all. However, at the very least, we know that no mental health checks for firearm purchases have been undertaken since the storm hit. I applied for a pistol permit during the month of September. According to law, my permit should have been granted to me within 30 days, before the hurricane even hit. Effectively, I, along with the rest of Essex County’s residents, have been stripped of our second amendment right to bear arms. Will this take another six months? Will a good portion of New Jersey go without their second amendment for an entire year? What does this mean for other states that are considering legislation similar to New Jersey’s? Will they all have to fear losing their constitutional right every time a storm hits? Furthermore, I must ask myself… If these records were for welfare recipients, would they have been restored yet? Or… would the state have withheld welfare payments for six months? I sincerely think that they are taking their time on this one. What about you? Thanks for listening. I hope you can bring this to everyone’s attention. It sure does shine a light on the disturbing reality of liberal legislation. Best, Michael

Big Daddy Frank Frank is bull shitting, lol

No. If you are waiting on an FID card now, and legislation passes that states that magazines are limited to 10 rounds, you will not be getting your FID after the fact and be capable of buying magazines of 15 rounds. I too agree that we are being lied to. This is a bunch of BS.

i think the funniest (not really) thing about this whole ordeal is that nobody even knows.. Could you imagine if this was Montgomery County, Texas? Just imagine if for one reason or another, nobody could purchase a pistol in Montgomery County TX for six months and counting!! It would be A) all over the news and B) causing widespread demonstrations and C) maybe worse. But here? Nobody even knows except the ten of us who contribute to this thread on NJGunForums.com. LOL how sad it is to call oneself a citizen of the "American" (barely) State of New Jersey!!!

And liberals wonder why people aren't comfortable with allowing this kind of stuff to happen in their home states...

wow. this is unbelievable. it really is hopeless at this point.

Let me take this further. Is it worth the wait? What if i were to just get a stock CQB? Still over 90 days?

Damn. This sucks. hahah. Okay. I suppose i will be doing that.

Hi Everybody, Some of you may know that I'm currently waiting on a couple of P2P's. In any event, I just finished on my AR, and have recently gotten the itch to purchase a very very nice 1911. I've looked at all of the well known "custom" companies, and I'm 99% sure that I've settled on Wilson Combat. I'd like to have a custom CQB. My question is, how do you guys go about doing this? Would i be ordering this firearm with the help of my local FFL? Again, i want a CQB, but i'd like to add some custom options (i.e. omit cocking serrations, add gold bead, add personalized engraving, etc.) to the gun. How would i go about doing that? Also, in your experience, how long does this take? If i received the P2P tomorrow, would I be able to receive the gun, with all the customization in place, within the 90 day period? Let me know. Thanks, Michael

I just spoke with the Sargent at me local police department. He informed me that she told him the same thing...Checks will *begin* on March 13th. With that being said, she informed him that there are thousands that she needs to complete, and that it is going to take some time. I wouldn't expect anything until the year 2027. lol

Not me! I have a Glock 19 boxed with my name on it just waiting to be picked up... I'm starting to think that it might be best to just grab a couple goodies for my AR and focus on that for now. Might have to pick myself up an EOTECH to keep busy lol

This totally sucks. I don't even live in Essex County, and haven't for years. Just because i once lived there, i have effectively been stripped of my 2A right?

You act like we are going to get Jim Demint as our governor in New Jersey or something.
