yep, not kidding. I'd heard before of different municipalities in NJ doing door to door checks. Seems like they knock on the door of a neighbor and ask if there's been any issues or anything with the applicant. I'm not exactly sure what information the intend to disclose. I suppose the idea is to detect any potential domestic violence, though i thought that's what the BACkGROUND check was for.

Bayonne, NJ I've been working on getting this thing for 4 1/2 months now. Dealing with things such as; "we sent the reference forms, I guess both must have gotten lost in the mail." "if WE didn't call YOU, it's NOT ready yet!" "It should be about a week or so." (that was 2 months ago) "we need to do a neighbor check, because your references aren't in Bayonne." (heard this today for the first time, months after applying) well, i spoke with them friday and after they yelled at me for calling, I'm told the FID is approved, typed up and sitting there but they need to do a "neighbor check" and the Chief needs to sign off on it. The Chief works on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I guess I'm close to the end at least. Anyone else have experience with the 'neighbor check'? I'm really sort of unnerved by that. I've just moved to Bayonne and don't know people here in town. Not to mention, it just seems like a blatant violation of my rights. What if a neighbor, who i don't know, says they do not want a firearm around? Is that grounds for denying my application, legally or otherwise? I don't want to have to hire a lawyer and appeal. it's so frustrating.
