I thought most of the Cable (Optimum and Verizon Fios at the least ) providers started to give out wireless routers with their packages. Do you want just call them and see instead of shelling out money for new one ? Ofcourse, if you own one, then its yours to keep when you change providers. Also see if the existing router is setup by the cable guys in the beginning, just to make sure none of that PPPoE set ups are configured in the router.

Am I reading too much into it or TSA stressing too much on how "they dont have authority to do anything and local police dont keep them apprised".

My Big, Huge, Innovative Idea for Gun Control: Start respecting my 2nd for what it is, a natural right. Period.

When the state comes to respect the 2nd amendment "and bear" portion without playing legal games, we will talk about training. Lets get "shall issue" on carry (bear) and we will get to discussing the training program requirements comparable to what some sane states have done. On a lighter note, imagine you have to carry your car, dismantled, locked in separate boxes, take it directly to the track (without deviation), assemble it there, and only then you can drive it on track. Now, you want to add 'training' requirements to drive 'that' car. See the logic ?

First thread, so be gentle. I have a friend who just wanted to do some target practice with pellet gun. Apparently, these are available over the counter in Mexico WallMart but not in PRNJ. Upon researching, he concluded that there was no way to own a pellet / bb gun without FID. So he went down the permit process and got FID and handgun permits. In the process of researching legalities, he got educated in 2nd amendment, stupidity behind some of the laws and responsible ownership. Forget the original pellet gun he wanted to buy, he is now proud owner of few handguns, a shotgun and few rifles. Strange way the PRNJ laws actually helped someone get guns that he never thought he would have.

Another guy reported that he had to submit DL AND Passport copy for at NJSP. Is that standard practice too ? I got my FID last week with local PD - no pics, no DL, no passport. Just the standard forms and two references sent out.

Interesting. Could be a NJSP thing. From the forms downloads from NJSP site, I have never seen any requirements about additional documentation. If anything, the docs said if we dont give SSN out, it could delay the processing.

Is taking copy of DL, Password, Birthcert a standard practice ? I submitted the usual paperwork (main app, health release and two references) in Park Ridge, PD on 11/19/12, FP on 11/29/12. After few nice calls, got my permits on 12/18/12. No other paperwork.

Update: Called PD today, asked the lady nicely about getting estimate so I dont bother them during holidays. She said everything is good and will try to get the papers signed by Chief tomorrow. Got a call in the afternoon that the permits are ready. She said she got hold of Chief as he was in today without waiting for tomorrow. Awesome. Within 30 days and very professional treatment. FPID, and Hangun permits are in hand. Thumbs up for Park Ridge PD. Now I am at loss as to what to buy, so many reviews, options and variations :-)

I am not a lawyer, but let me try to put it differently. What I read is that judge rules that the PD was within law to go beyond 30 day limit when the PD was waiting for other information to come in in the interest of "public safety". So, one may stand chance if they can prove that PD has everything they need and delaying the app for the sake of delaying. I think it would be hard to argue if PD is genuinely waiting for the info to come in from other agencies / parties.

I have read multiple times that the quoted law was ruled against by a judge allowing PD to take their own time in the "interest of public safety". Exactly what "lunker" said above. Not sure if every PD is aware of it. You could always let them know that you are going to follow up with AG - nicely. Worst case scenario, they do what they do best - delay. Best case scenario, they will magically find the missing paper work and what not and get your the paper.

I submitted paperwork in Park Ridge, NJ on Nov 19th. FP on Nov 30th. Called on Dec 11th to make sure they got the references back. As expected, the lady could not find one of the references, only to find it the second day. She said she will follow up with an estimate. Ofcourse she never did. They all have been very professional so far. But it concerns me as it started out with the traditional "we didnt get your references yet" story. Anyone here with expeperience from Park Ridge or surrounding Bergen County towns ?
