I recently applied for a change of address on my Firearms ID. The ID I had was from the same town, I just moved to the other side of town. I showed up with the application on hand and was told the app was not enough.

I couldn't believe the $hit i had to go through! filling 2 different forms in duplicate, signing the mental health check waiver, wanting only money order...was told it could take up to 60 days. what is up with that??

I probably could have purchased an illegal handgun easily with no questions asked, but I'm a law abiding citizen.

Sometimes I wonder if the gun laws here in Jersey were written by a bunch of guys who never read the Bill of Rights. :x

yeah unfortunetly gotta jump through the hoops until we can get some reform...

 

Which we are trying to do..

 

Bill A-1384....

 

Supreme Court Case going on right now..

 

hopefully can get something going, plus there are many petitions being signed going around also..

 

just gotta keep up the fight for reformed legislation.

I remember one of our lawmakers introducing a similar bill, but it got shot down (no pun intended).

A few years back, they had a change of address for the whole town of Jackson, for 911 calls.

So all of your ID had to be changed. When I went to the local PD, I had to go through the

whole process again to get a new FID. Even though the number on the card is registered

with the State, the locals just took it as another way to get money out of you.

I got married in Dec. '09 and my wife went to our town in Jan. '10 to get her name changed on her FID card that she had just picked up in Oct. '09. She had to fill out the whole packet again but the clerk said it was just for a paper trail and being that she had just gotten her FID a couple months earlier that it would be a quick process.

 

Well here we are going on 3 mths later and still hasnt gotten a call that it was ready. I dropped off paperwork today for 2 more P2P and asked about my wifes paperwork and the clerk just sighed and said they will call when it was ready....didnt even check to see where her paperwork was. Scary.......
