FYI - You live in NJ which means you have no rights. Aside from that, welcome and now wait for the license and permit.

That's so awesome.

Hoboken PD never called my references, the only sent them a 3-4 letter questionaire and asked for a little bit of their personal info(address which they already had, employer, etc). Hoboken PD turned my FID and P2P around in less than 2 months.

Lawyers are just going to threaten lawsuits that will never happen. If you were dealing with a local PD, you may have luck with that. You're dealing with the state directly..they'll move at their own pace and the only thing you can do is politely ask them for updates.

Hiring attorney is going to get you nothing but wasted money and a pissed off police barracks.

Try to "plead by mail". Cite your distance from the courthouse, your clean record overall good standing as a citizen and ask them to consider this with your guilty plead. They may change the citation to a parking ticket or something.

Morpho is the state's fingerprint place. Either do it, or move to a different state and buy a firearm. This process warrants full disclosure, if you're not ready to give that then you're going to be hard pressed to get your FID and P2P, assuming you want a pistol. Why are you trying to avoid putting information in?

I try to keep it slim. Sitting on a huge wallet while riding a harley..sucks. =)

Yes, here are a few shots. I now put my card behind my drivers license and it fits fine.

Juvenile records can potentially come into play when you're applying for stuff like this. What was the other misdemeanor for? if you're convicted of anything, it's pretty much a discretionary NOPE from your local Chief if he wants to be a jerk. You had 30 days to apply. and now you have a rejection on your record. Your best bet is to: Look into expunging both charges(not sure how the juvenile charge works). Once that process is started and complete, lawyer up and apply again. Provide all of the paperwork showing the expungement. OR - Move out of NJ, get PA residency and buy your toys there. Move back. Good luck.

it's difficult to tell a VET and an active LEO to stfu. That guy has brass balls.

It's terrible.

I used an MD and an FL reference. No issues from Hoboken PD. That township is bs'ing you.

Dropped app off on 5/7, fingerprinted on 5/14. FID/P2P ready as of 7/11. Picking up today.

I am boycotting this poll due to the OP spamming the chatbox! BURN HIM!

Did you get printed by MorphoTrak?

How were you yelling at them and disrespecting them? You stated facts.

NYMetsFan420: Why did you have to return the fingerprint form? You don't have to return anything, you just get your prints done and wait. That form is a receipt of your fingerprinting. It says on the form you're supposed to keep it.

That's not a fair comparison to make. Having someone die in a car accident is worlds different than having someone die in a gun accident. Cars are a necessary, required, evil for most people to go about their daily lives. You can not say the same thing about a firearm. =/

I wouldn't feel comfortable owning a firearm or keeping it in the house if I was married to a widower who lost her husband in a firearm accident. that's just my .02.

For the most part, it is the field officer's discretion..which can be.....

That's so full of crap and delusional. Let's be realistic, you don't need PC to search a car. Refusing a search is PC now-a-days.

What is the big deal? This endorses, hopefully, transparency for an FID. Go ahead and put another endorsement on my DL. I'll gladly take that "ENDR: M F" sure why the hell not. I always carry my license..and its less likely to be identically destroyed like some crappy piece of paper done on a type writer is.

Both of those charges are no reason for you to be denied the right to own a weapon. That being said, the CP of your township can deny you and then you can go to court to discuss it or even meet with him to discuss. Apply for the FID, deal with issues that come back if you have to. There are a few lawyers here and there that love to do pro-bono firearm work, or even work with firearm related issues on the cheap for the exposure. Expungements are good, they will take a few months to happen depending on how the court clerk reacts to it. Expungements can be done for the most part yourself, you only need a lawyer to "sign off" on it i believe.
