Isn't there also an $18 fee for something?

So...we could set up a floating shooting range 3 miles off shore?

I applied in early June and was told ther was a 4-5 month minimum backlog due to volume.

+1- mine is close to 50 years old and still functions perfectly.

When I lived in Vernon, the local PD would typically have my permits ready in 2-3 weeks. Lately, having to deal with the NJSP (because i don't have a local PD), it has been taking me anywhere from 5-7 months for any firearms related permits. A change of address on my FID took almost 6 months. Some of us have started writing to our state level representatives, the state AG, the NJSP superintendent and the governor, just to let them know what is going on and asking for some relief.

Political grandstanding, saying " I did something to rid the world of these evil weapons of mass destruction".

My favoite is hands down my S&W 686

State police in Hamilton are telling me 4 months minimum for a P2P.

They asked me for a copy of my FID for pistol ammo.

I like this show as well, some hard living out there.

I noticed this too, a definite double standard.

Thanks for the heads up!

1 month and counting for my P2P through the Hamilton NJSP. They told me to expect a minimum of a 4 to 5 month wait.

1. Application type (FID/permit w/ existing FID). FID change of address 2. Police Department where you applied. Hamilton NJSP 3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD. 4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit. 22 weeks (154 days) 5. Documents required by the PD (aside from the standard application and the mental health release form). No extra forms 6. Notes - anything pertaining to the application process (unforeseen difficulties, chief of police calling your home, you hiring an attorney, etc). Called every 2-3 weeks, was told that the delay was due to high volume.

The State Capital can't keep its backyard clean because 1) there are very few police officers left on the force- can be as few as 4 officers on at one time, 2) there is little incentive for people in these inner cities to get an education and work for a living and 3) gangs fill a void that is created when the traditional family structure breaks down. There is nothing any of these laws would do to reduce violence in our inner cities.

Ron Dancer is my rep as well and he has actually helped draft several pro-2A bills this year. He is a straight shooter, no pun intended, so I take him at face value.

Agree- not cheap but excellent every time For the price you can't beat it, used to go there all the time when I lived in Morros county.

My wife actually just emailed me about this. She also suggested a quick access safe and for me to teach her how to use our guns. Very scary!

This, and, years ago people used to use the range for midnight 4-wheel driving. I am talking back in the late 70's early 80's. There is actually a paper road that runs up to the back of the 300 yard range. Don't know if it is drivable any more but it used to be used for off road dirt bikes and 3-wheelers (before the day of quads).

Welcome!

Thanks!

This is true, especially since online dealers have no way to verify your age, so they use a copy of your DL. I know FIDs have you age on them as well, but when I questioned several on line dealers they all wanted a separate document to verify age.

I remember shooting at Cherry Ridge back in the late 70's and early 80's. Back then there wasn't even a range officer. Many times my dad and I were the only ones at the range, and if there did happen to be someone there during the week odds are you know them from town. Weekends did draw in a few out of towners.

Was there last weekend as well, was in #8 with my daughter. Yes, there are 21 lanes.

I agree 100% that our prez should play no role in this whatsoever, unfortunately he has already lent his support and used his position to influence the outcome. But to be fair, I highly doubt he would ever overstep his boundaries...yea right
