Mr.Stu

What's the statute number that says that you can only carry the specific handgun that you qualified with? It's hard to be charged under a statute that does not exist. While you're looking for it, try to find the statute that gives the judge the power to restrict your permit to a specific handgun. Hint: we're applying for a PCH, not an RPO permit.

I qualified with a Glock 26. Everything else is easy after that.

It has to be 3 separate ones signed with wet ink by all 3 references, you and your notary.

It used to be that RPO could not have a permit over the age of 75 but that was struck down earlier this year. There is no age limit on civilian carry permits.

To be accurate, the judge can restrict the permit to a type of handgun. A specific handgun is not a type.

It makes perfect sense. Doesn't everybody else's prints change as you cross the Delaware?

As I posted earlier, NJSP have finished their part for my application and said they are sending it to the court today. I just got off the phone with the criminal division manager for Hunterdon county. He told me that they have approximately 30 applications on the Judge's desk right now, but none that are approaching the 30 day window. He mentioned the 30 days, not me so I am pleased that they are observing directive #06-19. They are sending applications to the prosecutor's office and he did say that they had experienced a hiccup with where the prosecutor was sending them back to at the court, but that has now been ironed out. Hunterdon has not issued any permits yet. Because of this, he could not answer my questions about whether the judge is calling for applicants to appear for a hearing, or whether the permits are being issued with any restrictions on them such as which guns can be carried. He said to expect to have my permit well within the next 30 days and gave me his direct extension number to call if I had any further questions. He was a very forthcoming and friendly sounding guy and I am hopeful that Hunterdon, at least, is not going to be introducing delaying tactics. He said that they are being completely open and honest and he laughed when I responded with "Well one would hope you are, being a court official"

It appears that the Trooper at the local barracks compiles all the information for the investigation, e.g. mental health check, fingerprints, checking references, etc. and then forwards your packet to the FIU for approval.

I believe the most common single part of the gun to fail is the magazine - some consider them consumables as springs and feed lips do wear. It is always a good idea to have a spare with you.

That's all I can find in the statutes too. However, there is this part of the Admin Code: I'm clueless about how this is enforceable without a statute or what the penalty would be.

I'm sure Mrs. Peel meant barter protection for food, not a stick-up job. Right Mrs. Peel? Right?

Your best bet is to call them and politely inquire about the status. Update on my app: I just called NJSP FIU because they didn't reply to my email from last Tuesday and they said my app is being sent to the court today. Curiously, the lady that answered the phone asked me what county - Hunterdon - and she then gave me my surname without me telling her. She hung up pretty quickly, so I was unable to asked her how she knew who I was. I'm guessing I'm one of the first from Hunterdon to go through NJSP.

My references were phoned within a few days of submitting the app. You applied via NJSP Washington?

Isn't there a Federal law too?

Welcome! The laws here are just as dumb as CA, just a bit different.

I really wish people would read the statute. The renewal process is exactly the same as the initial application. Fringerprints, quals, application form in triplicate and notorized, photos, the whole shebang.

As with all these types of case it depends very much on the question(s) presented and where (i.e. which level of Court) it is decided. SCOTUS decisions apply across the whole country. Circuit Court decisions apply only to the States covered by that Circuit. CA is 9th Circuit, and we are 3rd Circuit. Circuit_Map.pdf

If you have US Law Shield with the multistate option, you can ask their lawyers. I did a trip to WV with mine and asked US Law Shield before I went. I was put in touch with a guy called Todd who is their Nappen equivalent in WV. The short answer was to remove the VFG to make it a pistol as the concept of a non-NFA other might be hard to explain on the side of the road.

I'm "that guy" that takes back the "single use" bags and uses them again.

The jokes on them. I carry 10+1

Whether true or not, the idea that the Judicial branch takes direction from the Executive does not make sense to me. The Judicial branch takes what has been written by the Legislative branch and makes sure the Executive branch is following it correctly.

You don't need anything else. A notarized declaration of ownership is an alternative if you don't have copies of the executed PtPP forms or a receipt from the purchase.

Reading that part you underlined carefully, it says types of handgun. Make, model, caliber and serial number is a specific handgun, not a type. Semi-auto or revolver would be types.

Identogo have offices in other States too. You don't necessarily have to come back to NJ.

It doesn't say it anywhere that I can find, but it is what NJSP seem to want to do. In the good ol' days, before FARS, I would have someone else witness it for me and it was never an issue. When I handed my packet in to NJSP for the carry permit, the Sgt. at the desk signed it as well My guess is that they trust another NJSP Trooper, more than an ordinary person.
