If I sell a pistol to a private buyer through a FFL and want to buy a different pistol, will I get "credit" for the one I sold which will allow me to buy a pistol without a new permit or will I still have to apply for a new pistol permit?

That would be a fair, equitable, and quite logical solution.

So of course NJ won't allow it.    Unfortunately, you'll need a new permit.

The good news is that permits seem to be easier to get. I got the email this morning that my permits have been approved. Turn around time? 9 days going through NJSP Washington.

Yeah but I have to use my township police and they seem to take their time. The permit I applied for last year took 5 months to get approved.

New electronic permits seem to be much faster in general.

Yes, on RT-57

Unfortunately, each handgun transfer and purchase does require a pistol permit. Every six months or so you should always apply for six permits.

I don't have kind of money! I know the permits are cheap, but once I have them I feel duty bound to use them and I don't want a huge pile of Hi Points.

As it is, I'm being tempted by a friend who wants to off load some Dan Wessons and a Springfield. I can easily afford the Springfield. The Dan Wessons are a fair bit more.

I get it but I hate to have to ask people to be my references and have to fill out the questionnaires.

It’s always better to have to option to buy the handgun and rather wanted to buy a handgun and go wait for more permits.

I have them too but I don't want to take advantage of them and end up pissing them off when I really need them.
