Hello,
I recently moved to Runnemede, NJ from Philadelphia, PA. I am trying to obtain a FID and a permit to purchase a handgun. I have downloaded the application, the mental health record form, and tried to drop it off at the police station.
The clerk said I needed to make an appt with the chief of police, but that he wasn't it. She gave me a number and left a message. I called again, and finally got to talk to him. He said since I was from Philadelphia, it would take forever, and that he didn't have any appointments available. He said to check back with him in a few weeks. What kind of answer is this from a city official?
I just don't get it, I'm a responsible, tax-paying citizen, and I have no criminal or mental health issues. Any advice to even get this process started would be much appreciated.
