How long is everyone waiting. Stopped in to check today. Filled out last Sunday and still 5 people in front of me. A week really. NJ is so messed up and hates us gun ownrrs.

Ours took about 7 days (including a weekend).....wasn't a big deal for us. 

Not trying to be snarky, but it's a huge deal. National INSTANT Criminal background check should take 10-15 minutes tops, just like it used to be before people realized the need for self protection due to the rampant violence that was permitted (and often encouraged) across the country. Since the pandemic has abated (or never truly existed) maybe the NIC delays are due to the influx of carry permit applications that are sitting ignored by some PDs and many courts? And let's not mention the double 2 hr.+ round trips to the gun shop.

While I now live in Texas, I bought a pistol last week. NICS check took 5 mins. 
 

NJ is playing (stupid) games. 

Today, NICS finished work from the 3rd.

NJ is simply playing games, deliberately taking longer than needed.  I live in NH.  When I buy a handgun, the shop calls it into the state and stays on hold until they provide an answer.  It's rarely more than a couple minutes.  NH uses the same process as NJ, where you call into the state and the state then uses the Fed database along with checking whatever they do at the state level.

It used to take a day or so but the NH legislature told the NHSP to get their act together or they'd be taken out of the process entirely.  

Once the PTC lawsuits settle down, there really needs to be an effort (lawsuit!) over this insane NICS delay.. No doubt its fully intentional, and sadly people are slowing becoming accustomed and accepting of a 5-7 wait..  Just plain old wrong...

Do NJ LTC holders get to bypass the NICS check when buying a firearm?

That chart was last updated June 2020…maybe it will change for NJ. 
 

Doubtful, but maybe.

It would make sense to exempt anyone with a permit to purchase a handgun from NICS checks, since the permit to purchase background check is way more rigorous than NICS, and very recent if the permit is still valid.

Only if the unicorn that you're riding was born on a Tuesday.

On the 4th of July, during a hail storm, followed by a stampede of elephants and one baby zebra

The reason I asked that question is that CHL holders in Texas get to bypass NICS. 
 

Didn’t know if it worked the same way in NJ now that you CAN get a CHL. 
 

Shoulda figured NJ would still be fucking gun owners.

And I bet "they" are trying to throw more obstacles in the way.
