So I have a pistol permit that I let expire a few months ago (I know I know)... can i just shred it and throw it away or does the PD usually want the unused permit back?

I had 3 that I did that with (i know i know i know)..tried to renew but they were expired too long...My PD (Absecon) didnt want them....I made them take them anyway when I reapplied for 3 more.(hoping it would speed up my new ones)..She just ripped them and threw in the trash as they were no importance.

My PD wants them back if available as they have a permit number that is logged out to you.

If you are still looking to use it take them back to the PD and have them renew it for another few months. I know my local PD offers this!

My PD told me specifically to tear them up beyond recognition...Lots of valuable info on them.

You can only renew for an additional 90 days from the expiration date, no matter when there renewed you get 90 days after the expiration date.

Not really. Read the permit. I don't have one in front of me, but I believe it states an additional 90 days, making it 180 days from the issue date.

You're both saying the same thing. 90 days after the first expiration date is 180 days after the issue date.

 

:thsmiley_deadhorse:

You're right. BUT, there is no expiration date on the permit.

It expires 90 days after the issue date and another 90 days after the extended date.

It expires 90 days after the issue date and another 90 days after the extended date.

 

That's incorrect.

 

It expires 90 days after the issue date. If extended, it expires 180 days after the issue date - NOT after the extended date.

Clarifications boys..... expiration date is 90 days from the issue date(yes i know its not actually printed on the permit, but its inherent)... you get an additional 90 days from that date, not when you actually bring it to get renewed. If your permits are expired by 60days and decide to have them renewed, you only get 30days.

 

DJG probably put it in the most easy to understand terms. You only get 180 days from issue date with an renewal.

I have an unused one from 1991. It has multiple sheets and carbon paper.

That one is so easy I won't even say it...

 

Oh, heck with it, move to the United States.

That's incorrect.

This, I lost a permit (took almost a month to extend) because "the chief was on vacation".
