Anyone on here have news from Bergen county?

Posted yesterday on FB

I skimmed through comments and didn't see any mention of restrictions or any other info from op.

Also notbsure why he didnt redact any personal info, but that's on him

Kind of odd that there’s no photo on the permits isn’t there typically a photo on concealed carry licenses?

Bergen is absolutely issuing and relatively quickly. I applied on 7/22 and had the permit in my hand on 09/02. Permit was actually issued on 08/24 so just over a month. In Bergen county you better have an absolutely clean record though. They are denying for excessive traffic violations and anything else that may be considered controversial. My advice in Bergen county is to not call the court or the local PD. You will get the permit but have patience.

That is the docket number assigned when the court receives your permit. The number where you put ### shows how many permits applications they received before yours this year.

Thanks I figured it was something like that. 

Also anyone know what's going on with Warren County? I had a friend apply around the same time as I did (his was maybe a little sooner if you factor in he got his finger prints done a few days before me) . Anyway Warren county almost immediately cashed his money order and its been over 30 days since they cashed it with no status update.

Because NJ has always been chock full of police chiefs handing out permits to carry as if bearing arms was a constitutional right or something?

Of course. The police chiefs care about your rights. I mean look at the delays still with the purchase permits. 
The judge is needed to keep these rebel mad lad police chiefs in order cant have them just following the US constitution  and all.

Maybe somebody in an appropriate county should post one showing Phil Murphy or Matt Platkin as the holder?

How about we keep photos of the gopher to a minimum.

"Sensitive" locations should be limited to locations where you are screened by metal detectors before you can enter.  Courthouses, Airports, Stadiums, and many schools.  This way you can be comfortable that there is a minimal chance that a bad guy will have a gun there.  If a location wants to be "sensitive" they have to pay for that security at their entrance.  As far as alcohol consumption, it should be the same as driving, you can not carry while intoxicated.  A car in an intoxicated person's hands can be every bit as deadly as a gun.

pretty fast, he got his in a little over 30 days at the court level.

Has anyone on this forum got their PTC in Middlesex County (excluding the people on Middlesex FB)?

New Jersey as most of on here should be well aware believes that they are a country in and of itself, and can make up their own rules and disregard federal law as well as constitutional precident…. I have personally been hassled in New Jersey or more than once north central and south by those thinking that regardless of 218 one must have a permission slip from New Jersey.

How has this not resulted in countless lawsuits? Even more importantly, how has this not resulted in gross cop on cop violence?

agree, not a good idea...

BTW who assembles the card, local PD or the county and are they being laminated?

TIA

I believe the law says you can have any court review your application that you plan to carry in. 

Maybe ask your PD to send your application to Morristown if you live near by. 

Hudson county update - turned in my app to Hoboken PD on 7/5 and (with all of my previously listed tribulations) have still not heard anything from the court or the PD. PD claims it's in the hands of the court. I'm over 90 days as of today. 

I might call the clerk but still a little concerned that they'll use my packet to start their wood stove if I do.

It might get "lost."

PTC issued in Morris County, out of Mount Olive PD

Permit holder states he must carry court order with him that specifies which gun he is qualified to carry. Appears to have no other restrictions.

+100 this

Everyone should email Strikeforce with time lines. Keep track of all your dates. This gives them the all important data they need to present to the state. There is no consistency across all the counties and towns in "times" or "restrictions" so your help here is very important. Also, if you haven't, join the NJ 2A orgs, they need your support, freedom isn't free.

I just sent my tale of woe to the Strikeforce email address, with a timeline. 

I dropped off my packet on 9/6 and was told this morning it's still going through in-house checks. I figure I'll give it till 30 business days? What's the strike force email?

The statute says the PD has 60 days to deny, otherwise it is approved by default. They may explicitly approve sooner.
