Thank you everyone. I will take the advice as offered and micromanage the process. I will keep you posted should anything discussion worthy happen.

Hello: I am new to the forum, reside in Hoboken, NJ and am about to submit the necessary forms for my first firearm purchaser identification card. From my initial research, I understand two forms are necessary to submit to the local police department if I am applying for a FPIC only – STS-033 and SP-066. I also understand permit turn around should take 30 days or less per NJ statues. I went down to the Hoboken Police department to get the necessary forms and they provided me with the STS-033 and SP-066 as well as a three additional HPD issued forms: firearms applicant questionnaire; a domestic violence questionnaire; and an 8 item summary of firearm transportation, liability, address change, etc. All three must be signed by me, the applicant. I know there has been some discussion on the forum about Hoboken residents in the same situation where they just fill out the paper work so to not rock the boat. That seems like a logical approach if you want your FPIC but I also do not want to provide any additional information if it is not legally required as it is my right as I currently understand. Additionally, HPD said it would take 3 months at a minimum to issue my FPIC from time of application submission as they are “really, really busy”. Do you think it is best to hire a lawyer to expedite the process as well as ensure the proper paper work is filed? I have a clean record but given all the additional paper work, it seems they may be looking for any reason to deny my application. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.
