I highly doubt my local gun store or FFL report anything to the municipalities...

S&W 686

I always do, it is a continuous cycle, i pick up my completed permits and submit 2 or 3 more, then repeat.

Nice "beater" rifle!

Same here only I am goinng directly through the NJSP. I have been averaging almost 6 months on each transaction whether it is P2Ps or change of address on an FID

Exactly, based on my expereince you wil lbe waiting anywhere from 5 to 7+ months.

I contact the NJSP all the time for my permits, they are always professional and at least appear to be working with me. Although I question how effective it is, they have never appeared "pissed off". After 2-3 months, then I will contact the AG, NJSP super, LT Gov, Gov and my local representatives.

Any idea on how it is going based on exit poll data, etc?

No brainer- Lonegan!

I have spoken to an NJSP supervisor from the firearms Investigation unit. He basically told me that the long lead time is a function of the increased demand across the entire system and the lack of manpower or ability to authorize overtime. He was very sympathetic but in the end basically told me that they were working as quickly as they could and the delay was because demand was 4 times higher than it has been in the past.

Saw a similar situation in my neighborhood last year. i was out jogging and I saw a few kids in their own backyard and they were obviously playing a paintball game. They had goggles on and bandanas and were running around chasing each other. It was a very large backyard (3 acres maybe) and they were nowhere near any of the other neighbors. As I jogged by I thought to myself, wow- that looks like fun and these kids looked like they were having a great time. Never once did I think there was anything wrong with it, as one of the kids waved to me as I jogged by, just like he would normally do. Well, wouldn't you know on my way back when i passed the house again there was 3 state police cars there. One of the neighbors must have called the police on what was obviously an innocent game of paintball by a group of 15-16 year old boys in their own back yard.

The only follow up I received were from my pro-2A state representatives.

When did you receive that email?

Congrats and welcome aboard!

Same here, and nothing yet.

And then they will all vote for us...

I wouldn't put it all on Eli. Let's face it, Eli didn't become a bad QB over night, a lot has to do with the the o-line. The difference between a very bad o-line and a very good o-line is maybe 1/2 to 1 second more protection. O-lines can make average QBs look great (remember the Redskins in the 80's) and great QBs look awful (If anyone remembers Archie Manning with the Saints). The second problem has a lot to do with the option reads of the receivers, I have seen plenty of plays where the receivers choose the absolute wrong route to run based on the coverage they had. The modern NFL passing game requires some smarts as well as athletic ability for receivers and I think that may be where some of the passing problems lie. Ever notice why there are so many talented cover corners in the NFL these days? Many of them would be great receivers but they just don't have the football IQ to read coverages and make the right choices. Then there are the reads that the "hot" receiver has to make. Just my $0.02

After I lost my Peavey in a bar fire I went through a slew of new Fenders, Crates a newer Marshall, and a few others before I finally broke down and bought a Boogie. I wish Peavey had good tube tube amps back then but there was a void in the early 90's where almost everyone was going solid state, and they all sounded like crap.

That is exactly what I did last time. I called, emailed and wrote to the state AG, NJSP superintendent, the governor, the LT governor and my local state representatives. I guess that trimmed it down from 6 months to 5 and 1/2.

It absolutely could have been worse, but honestly, every time any laws are passed it gets incrementally worse for gun owners. When was the last time we were cheering because there were any pro-2A laws passed? It seems like there is a gradual decay of second amendment rights across the board, well maybe not across the board but definitely on the coasts and in Denver. They just keep chipping away by throwing up as many bills as they can and seeing what will stick. So, they propose 20 anti 2A bills and 2 or 3 stick. We walk away cheering because we see it as a "victory " when in reality it was still 2 or 3 more anti-second amendment laws. Rant over.

And I am a member, Thanks!

NJSP quotes 2-3 months but in actuality takes 5-6 months.

This reminds me of the Joe Pisarcik era...not good at all!

I remember Cherry Ridge back in the late 70's early 80's when there were no range officers. During the week we were almost always the only ones there and even on weekends there was usually one of the ranges that was completely vacant. Ah, the good old days!

Love it!
