It all depends on the town, it took 3 months for me to get the FID. And I am still waiting 6 months for handgun permits.

One item to note regarding the handgun permits, you have 90 days to use them. Plus we have the one handgun purchase per month rule here in NJ

WOW....LOL so glad i'm moving in the spring

With my recent experiences with the gun laws in good ole' NJ. I have some advise for those that are going to get their FID. When you put in for the FID and you have intentions to purchase any handguns, the best option is to put in for the handgun permits at the same time. You are going to end up waiting anyway. This was advice I was given by a very helpful and friendly woman that used process the FID and pistol permits in my municipality. Unfortunately, she has retired.

Plainfield it took 3 months for my FID and first pistol permit Additional pistol permits I am at 6 months wait.

After all this time, finally my muncipality finally set themselves up for the online background check. I completed the online form, paid my $20 and lets see how long it takes. Just a refresher, I submitted my request for additional handgun permits back in July.

Unfortunately not, it seems my municipality needs to set themselves up for the online background check. This has not been done yet

That I was correct that the online background check cannot be used for my municipality. And she has to check with her manager to see how they are going to proceed. This is a new person doing this at my PD than in the past.

i gave them a ring, the are going to find out what is going on.

After some extensive research, I have found out that the Plainfield PD does not accept online request for the background check. Of course I find this out after finding the correct ORI number and then receiving a message that "The selected ORI number is associated with CITY/AGENCY- PLAINFIELD PD. Currently selected agency is not accepting any online requests."

I have the special number I have the special number from the township, but they didnt give me the link thanks

Does anyone have the link for the online check? I received a phone call from my local PD yesterday and they informed me that Applicant Flow Sheet was missing and I needed to go on the NJ State Police site for the online check. This information was not given to me when I dropped off the forms thanks

It's just ridiculous they drag it out

I checked into it and my PD doesn't do that online background check. However, it has been two plus months and I still haven't heard anything. I called them yesterday and the response I got "we are still working on it" Got to love NJ

Thanks guys You do bring up an interesting point. I don't think my local PD does that online background check. I think they do that themselves, but I'll find out

Never heard about the background check online. Didn't have to do that for my FID on a side note it has been a month since I submitted my paperwork. And I know my references got the letters and sent them back already But I haven't heard a thing...welcome to NJ

I know the feeling, I want an M1 Carbine, but they are not allowed in NJ. Probably cause of those riots in Plainfield when they were stolen in 1960s from the Plainfield Machine Co. Probably have to get a Ruger Mini 14 which is close

Thanks, it would probably be more for use at the range, maybe self defense..but this is NJ. I have heard that some of them are crap..some aren't. Just been giving me a bit of a headache as how many there are..same when I went looking for my AR-15 and ended up with the Ruger AR556. I've been looking at the Springfields as the price is good, and they seem to be well built. thanks

I'm looking to purchase my first 1911, and am curious as to which of the numerous 1911s are preferred? Are some better than others? thanks

Thanks for the info

I already have my FID, and I am looking to get a few more handgun permits. Do I need to go through the entire process again including the fingerprints? Or do I just need to fill out just the - Application for Firearms Purchaser Identification Card and/or Handgun Purchase Permit?

It took about two months, but I finally got my FID today. I can now not just look anymore....Happy Day I haven't joined a club or range yet, but I will start to look for one.

Hi I am looking at Winchester 73 and Browning Hi Power to start

Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself to the community. I am pretty much a novice to the gun hobby and am looking forward to interacting with everyone and learning as much as I can. Just submitted all my paperwork for the FID today thanks
