They use the same distributor as bullseye tactical supply. Both websites are exactly the same except for obviously, their company name.

I completely agree with that. However, in my situation this is not a "need it now" purchase. I don't blame shops charging what the local market is dictating at this point in time given the recent release, but I'm not going to pay a premium simply because I'm an early adopter.

For anyone that has seen the VP9 at their LGS, what kind of prices are you guys seeing? I walked into a couple of shops today and tried to negotiate on their ~$800 asking price for the LE kit. Is this really what the gun will go for? Or, is it simply the early adopter's premium?

PMC Bronze is one of the cleanest rounds I've shot. I went to the range recent and upon my return home, I could barely find any residue/powder I needed to clean. I cleaned out Dick's last week when they had an ammo sale. They had at least 15 boxes of PMC at $10.00 on top of the $10 coupon they give if you complete a customer satisfaction survey. The associate forgot about the 3 box rule so I took advantage of it haha

PA would be a possibility if I didn't have ties to NYC during some points in the week. Sadly, Jersey will be my home for a while.

That sounds like a possibility. I work in Whitehouse Station.

Hi All, I received notice that my lease will run to expiration without renewal this year. I don't really know why since I pay my bills on time, live rather quietly, and take care of my unit. Well, I started getting more attention from building management as of late since getting my FID and going to the range with all my firearms. This is probably me being paranoid, so disregard that last statement. Anyways, as I search for an apartment, could anyone suggest any towns in the Scotch Plains (Union County) area which has police departments who actually follow state law as it pertains to the FID/PP process? Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification. Sorry to bug you, but here's a hypothetical situation. In speaking with one's local PD, they indicate they do not know how to do the online form/system. They further give the indication the old paper 212a will need to be processed which will delay the process. However, when speaking with the state police unit handling the online checks, a unit member states and confirms the local pd is online with the new system. How would one go about pursuing the matter with the local pd?

Has anyone read through the new instructions as of late? I can't believe I didn't read the updated instructions when I recently applied for 4 p2p. http://www.njsp.org/info/pdf/firearms/071614_firearms_appinstruct.pdf It appears the SBI is no longer taking paper 212a forms effective April 2014? Can anyone confirm this?

No offense, but it's far from being like Camden. I grew up in Glastonbury and had no problems navigating through the streets of East Hartford. All in all, I remember growing up we used to joke about some of the other towns bordering Hartford more than our neighbor to the west.

I remember this incident when I was still living in Connecticut. I also remember something similar in my hometown where a man who was OC'ing was arrested while on lunch break because one of the employees called the police: http://articles.courant.com/2010-04-18/news/hc-open-carry-guns-0418.artapr18_1_gun-owners-gun-laws-permits

Based on what I read, it appears to be the case that information is "pushed" to them. Where the information gets pushed to, that's where I still have no idea. I will most likely stop by one of these days and let them know to call the NJSP That was my primary intent in going blindly into this process. That, and I wanted documentation on my end information had been submitted to the state in a timely manner.

Apparently I am the first individual to use the online form in my town according to the nice records lady at my local PD. Since I am essentially the guinea pig, is there anything I can do now to "educate" my local PD? Or, will the be this be the cause for a relatively long wait until I finally cave in and do the paper form and pay in money order? Does anyone know how the information is transmitted to the PD department using this method? Thanks!

Quick question to all, Has anyone ever used the services of a lawyer in order to compel an answer from the pd?

Yup. I was told it was sent to the firearms marshall. That's the interesting thing. I googled my town to include the keyword FID and a few people have been given that response when there was a delay. I live within the 22nd district, I think that may be a dead end. However, i'll make contact with the ANJRPC. I suppose it is time to write that letter to my cleo, then to the town manager and mayor if no response is given.

Good Evening Everyone, I am currently waiting for a decision from my local poilce department in regards to my initial FID and P2P. I submitted my paperwork on April 04, 2014 and was told the current wait time was six weeks due to the volume of applications they received. I know by law a decision should be rendered within 30 days. However, as we all know this is not the reality we are all faced with in many communities here in New Jersey. I was understanding with the timeline given, handed my paperwork over, including payment in the form of checks and went on my merry way. Both my checks were cashed on April 10, 2014 and my references received their paperwork and submitted everything by April 18, 2014. On April 28, 2014, I called the records section of the police department, was told they had all my paperwork from the state for the final stages in the process and should receive my letter to pick up my permits in one to two weeks. Two weeks and more passed, so I placed another phone call on May 23, 2014 inquiring once again. At this point, the kind records person couldn't locate my paperwork but agreed to follow up. A few moments passed and I was told my paperwork was no longer with them. The person stated my paperwork was with the firearms marshall for a final review then to the chief of police for his signature. I was instructed to wait for the letter informing me I can pick up my permits. Today is now the two month mark since I began this FID journey many of us have experienced. My situation is somewhat different in the sense that all my paperwork is with the decision makers in this matter, and I am now left in limbo. I am tempted to write the chief of police a letter inquiring as to the decision of my permits, but a bit apprehensive since this may aggravate the situation. Given this, should I hold on writing a certified letter and give more time to pass hoping my letter will come in the mail? I know many will suggest going to the police station and follow up hoping it is laying there waiting for me. I am tempted to do this, but it appears to be a town requirement that I receive my letter in the mail before going down to inquire. I am prepared to write a letter as well to both the Mayor and Town Manager as well to assist if my initial letter goes without a response. Thanks!

I know there is a multitude of this type of question and I do apologize in advance. I am currently waiting for a decision from my local poilce department in regards to my initial FID and P2P. I know there is a difference in expectations versus reality in regards to this matter. I also understand there is a difference in the 30 day response statute and application of that statute by the individual towns. If anyone has any experience dealing with Scotch Plains, it would be greatly appreciated. I want to handle this as professionally as possible and would like your feedback. Applications Submitted: April 04, 2014 - I was told six weeks was the current turn around time given their deptartment's work load Checks were cashed and cleared on April 10, 2014. References returned their letters to the PD by April 18, 2014. On April 28, 2014, I called the PD and inquired as to the status of my application. I was told I was in the final stages and I should receive my letter in one to two weeks. As of today, I have yet to receive any indication from the PD. I have a pto coming up this Thursday, and I wanted to stop by the PD and inquire in person. Is there a different approach I should take? Thanks in advance.

After viewing her voting record, I understand completely lol.

Thanks everyone! I read through the other thread and indeed, there are a lot of people from Fanwood/Scotch Plains.

I wanted to introduce myself to the forums. I'm originally from a small town in CT and moved to Scotch Plains because of my Job. I grew up target shooting with my father and the scouts, all the way through high school until I went to Rutgers for school. I moved back home and continued until I moved back to NJ three years ago. I have not done much in terms of target shooting since I moved to Scotch Plains, but the itch got me and I'm currently waiting for my initial FID with one p2p. I have been a lurker on the forums since I started my application, which has been great since I cannot do anything at this moment until I hear from the town. With that said, greetings!
