I've got a client filed in Kingwood 5 months ago and just got his FID last week. Hurry up and wait!

Was the DWI in New Jersey? I am currently appealing an FID denial for a client who had an out of state DWI and was denied because the DWI was considered a crime in the state in which he received it. If it was in NJ, DWI is a Title 39 traffic offense, not criminal.

I am an NJ attorney currently working with about 15 applicants throughout the state and having helped many more in the past. In my experience a decision within 30 days is the rare exception. There are a few unreported decisions from both the law division (superior court) and appellate division that have interpreted the 30 day limit to apply "unless good cause for denial exists" Now we just need a court to limit "good cause for denial" to the limited exceptions of N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3. Back to the OP question, I've found that a letter on my firm letterhead addressed to a township/city attorney can sometimes speed up the process. The township attorney doesn't want a lawsuit against the town and will sometimes nudge the PD a bit. On the other hand, it would take a deep-pocketed client to front the thousands needed to bring a good case based on the delay and the city attorneys know that. Overall, enforcing the time limit has no easy answer in my opinion.

Good evening everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself. I haven't always been interested in shooting; its quite new to me. Over the last couple years I have assisted many clients in getting their permits or appealing their denials and the sport kind of grew on me. Now I can't get enough. I'm looking forward to participating in the legal discussions on the forum.
