so this is the story >>>>>

i am trying to submit my application for permits for *get this* over 3 months .... the detective who is in charge is nowhere to be found. i am calling everyday >>> he doesnt pick the phone. i left messages >>> he doesnt call back. i went down to the station >>> i am told he is not there by other officers. the ONLY time when i actually got to talk to him was a month ago >>> it was another try on my part to find him and as i am walking up to the door to ring the bell that says "firearms" guess who comes out???? and who wants to guess what he told me >>> he said that he is very busy right now and cant talk... and that i should call him to make an appointment. when i told him that i can not get in touch with him EVER he told me to leave a message .... NOW i was never rude to him, i never asked him to do more than he is suppose to, i have done permits through him before and never had a problem. so can anybody suggest a !realistic! approach to this issue?

Call the chief? Mayor? Dedicate a day and say you won't leave until you get to see him? LOL

i did think of all of those at some point or another BUT cmon you know how our locals are. i dont want to start s--t >>> i might be living in this town for a while and since people who are mayor / chief / an officer like never change in NJ municipalities and its a family business also ... well you know what im getting at

This is unbelievable. Why do we get treated like criminals. They should be SO happy that we are willing to go through the proper process to obtain a permit. In the end, they get more information on us then they could ever want. This is a disgrace.

Well it sounds like you have been more than reasonable... maybe make a trip down there and demand an appointment with this guy. Explain you have been trying for months and you won't take no for an answer. If they say "oh im too busy, say are you busy a month from now? Are you busy two months from now? If he honestly says yeah i'm too busy a month from now he's blowing smoke up your ass.

I would go to the Chief and/ or the mayor. Its the point of it. If you can't get them on the phone or even in person, that's rediculous. Your taxes go towards paying their salary.

Tell them that if you don't see him immediately you're going to Elizabeth to buy some guns outta a white van RIGHT NOW. See if he comes out

 

no dont do that but it would be funny to see what happens

 

 

what town is this, btw?

.... also... why do you need to see the officer to submit your permits? Just get the paperwork, fill it out, and drop it off with the receptionist. After 30 days you can start harassing them.

call the mayor's office. they would love to know that your tax dollars are not doing their work. I bet you will have permits or FID within 30 days too.

Try with the state police?

state popo will just tell you to call the local popo

Call the Firearms Investigation Unit:

The will in turn call your local PD to say "WTF" for you.

 

In theory at least... :|

+1 They will help you.

OR, one could do NOTHING but post on an internet forum about how the police treat you and wait for the approval a year later bitching the whole time.

so do you have a suggestion for me?

PS im sorry i offended you. i was not trying to "bitch" just simply sharing my story with my fellow forum members who might have more experience in this matter than i do. i always try to avoid putting people on the spot, esp if these ppl have sometin to do with sometin i want.

You said you have not had a problem in the past is it possible your chiefs changed since your last permits? I used to live in Eatontown and when I first moved in and applied for permits if I dropped the paperwork off on Monday they were ready by Thursday. Ten years later I put in for permits and the detective is antagonistic through the whole process. Turns out a new chief and now you have to fight for your permits.

so do you have a suggestion for me?

Call, bitch and complain. You can't be denied for that.

HAHAHAAH u guys never gonna believe this >>> he just called me. i have an appointment tomr at 1100. freakin hilarious. who said bitchin on the internet doesnt work???? :arrow: sorry cudnt help myself
