40 days sounds prety good to me-

If you are re-applying, yes. If you initially apply for more than 1 permit then no

Watched it a few times, found it quite entertaining

Congrats Sludog- I am going on 13 weeks and waiting for a change of address!

Yes- let's hope so. But even P2Ps are taking months to get so it seems like we have to demonstrate need!

Called and spoke to an NJSP officer today and he told me that they are processing 4-5 times the normal number of FIDs/P2Ps and that it would be at least another 2 weeks before my FID address change is complete. As of today I am going on 13 weeks.

I call every 10 days or so and have stopped in twice. Apparently it hasn't helped but I still keep trying. I am polite, and always ask if there is anything else I need to do. It seems like the NJSP are beginning to get a little tired of us calling. I am sure they are busy, but enough is enough already.

This brings up a good point, and that is- how many additional FIDs have been applied for since last December? I know the NJSP oficer I spoke with told me that it has been "through the roof". It makes me wonder what the aggregate total might be?

He needs a new TV show...

Seriously considering moving out of NJ, it would be difficult with young children but definitely not impossible.

A firearms ID, which is required to purchase rifle or shotgun could take 5 months these days, it all depends on the PD. I have heard some on this forum getting theirs in less than 30 days, but there are also some outliers that have waited 5-7 months. I would say the "average" is probably 2-3 months. I have been waiting over 3 months through the NJSP.

Welcome!

Going on 12 weeks now for my change of address...

Last fall I had 2 extra tickets to Notre Dame BC up in Boston. Face value was $45 I paid $140 each for the tickets, 10 rows back on the 40 yd line and with NDs record they were going for $350+ on Stub-Hub prior to the game. Game was completely sold out. At the game people were tripping over themselves to try and buy tickets, one guy came up to me and asked me how much, I told hm I would sell them for face value, $45 each. He offered me $20 and wouldn't budge. Needless to say he didn't get the tickets!

Thanks- looks like a nice gun!

Hopefully this is the week for me...going on 12 weeks now! And it has been killing me because I saw a bunch of guns I would have bought last week if I had my FID!

Done!

I actually learned on a Marlin myself, unfortunately I sold it many years back. I noticed Vernon in your home range section, I grew up in Vernon and also shot at Cherry Ridge

Thanks for the input everyone, especially for the info on the smaller size rifles.

I wouldn't worry either, I have used many of the same friends over and over and thay have also used me as well and never once have any of us been asked if we were related

I think my 13 year old daughter might be able to handle a Mosin!

I think it is time to start teaching my kids to shoot, they are old enough and hopefully I can now find the time. I need some recommendations for a 22 for my kids, ages 13, 11 and 8. I am leaning toward a bolt action but would consider a single shot. I have glass I can put on it, was hoping to get them used to hitting paper @ 100 yards. Thinking about a Savage MK-II or possibly a Marlin XT. What would you suggest?

But it is still hilarious

Yes I do, no local PD. I am going on 12 weeks just for a change of address!

NJSP wanted to see an original birth cirtificate and kept a copy
