I'll put the disclaimer out there that I've known to be wrong, but I thought there was something which said that they had to be unrelated to you..

 

I use my buddies who are always applying for pistol permits the same as I am :-P

Honestly I would play it safe and avoid using room mates unless they have an alternative mailing address. They may turn around and accuse you of faking references otherwise then tell you to provide alternative references or deny you. Best to use friends who live elsewhere.

The references definitely can't be related.

 

At the same address is going to raise flags. Find someone else or have it mailed to their parents house or whatever.

The NJ Administrative Code says:

PK90, both me and a few of my friends who applied for our FPID's were told no relatives. In my town (Woodbridge) they even went as far as stating no LEO's.

Paul - can that guide be found on the net? That looks like some interesting reading.

can that guide be found on the net

 

Doubtful. they are given out during the seminars the state runs for PD's every so often.

A new revised one will be issued shortly.

In my town (Woodbridge) they even went as far as stating no LEO's.

 

That seems particularly silly. If they don't trust other LEO's to be references, what is the world coming to?

Why are references even needed?

When I asked they said they didn't want anyone playing favorites or calling in favors to bump up the processing time.

Why are permits or FPID's even needed? :?

Can't argue there.

 

A little birdie told me that a process is in the works where a new type of FPID would be issued with your picture. Once issued, no need to return to the PD for permits. Walk into any shop, pick out any gun, run the NICS, and the dealer fills out the paperwork. Of course, that would mean that all transaction would go through a dealer with no FTFs. But, we're talking years to get the details worked out. So don't ask me for any updates, because that is all I know.

I caught a whiff of this but from the other side of things.

 

I know a guy that makes holographic foil. The kind of stuff you see on credit cards. They're doing a number of anti-fraud things and his company is doing something for the state of NJ. He mentioned that they were working on an ID card that would be used for gov't services, certain restricted things like firearms...

 

I asked for more detail but that was the extent of it.

Oh great, not only $18.00 for the background check, but now a trip halfway across the state to get a photo taken so they can put it on a card like a license and now charge you $58.00 for the card that expires every two years.

Well, we all know where we are, so it might actually be not so bad.. If you don't want to buy anymore guns, just let it expire. At least you wont have to wait every time for another permit.

+1

 

And lets be honest... this would be alot better to have with the 1 a month....

 

as opposed to leaving it to paperwork.

If they go that route, it will probably be similar to the current NJ permits where a passport photo must be included. Any department can furnish the photo. It isn't a big deal.

I'm just not going to be so optomistic at this point.Sit back and think about it for a minute.Do you really think the peoples republic of jersey will EVER make it less of a hassle to purchase a firearm here?
