He has at least 5 weeks now I submitted permits just about a month ago

No update. I'm about 10 days in.

Some news for those who are cherry hill residents. I was told that CHPD are backed up with permit applications dating back to nov-dec 2010. It sounds like very few permits will be issued until Det Vitarelli comes back in april from sick leave. The current person to call is Det. Buehler. Apparently their dept is backed up with criminal work. I understand that it is a good idea to call them every once in a while to remind them that you are patiently waiting for your permits. This is my 3rd month.

+1 Mack... we are in the dregs now. I am one of the Nov Dec applicants. Det Buehler got an earful the other day concerning their excuses. I am not allowed to give my customers excuses at my job I explained.

That sucks! I'm on day 30 now and was hoping the end is in sight.

I heard he broke his leg, or something similar... One would think the CHPD would of reassigned someone right away to help with the paperwork - instead they waited 3 months before reassigning someone.

How about MtK? Any word yet?

MtK?

MtK?

cherry hill update... received permits. total time: 10 weeks. clean record. 2-3 week delay due to new notarized reference requirement. suggest that those of you who are waiting check in every so often to ensure your paperwork has been received.

Thanks for the update. I'm still waiting. I think I submitted in the 2nd or 3rd week of Feb, and also had a 2 week delay on notarized reference letters. I will double check with the CHPD this week to get a status on the paperwork.

spoke to det bueller yesterday game me a song and dance about all the internal problems but that was it really wtf he said they are zoo backed up its crazy

Got mine Fri. They are singing the layoff blues there. It took me 12 weeks, but there was an issue getting my references in.

Evening, folks....

 

I'm a 31 year old Cherry Hill resident looking into permits and certifications and whatever else NJ requires us to do to own a firearm. I would keep two weapons (shotgun and one revolver, maybe a semi-auto handgun) at most and rely on them primarily for home defense, but I plan on staying sharp and hitting the range and maybe even taking a class or two. I've fired handguns and rifles as a teenager but that was over ten years ago so it's as good as starting over, I figure.

 

Anyway, I'm glad to see a site and forum dedicated to NJ residents. The specificity will no doubt be helpful as I start figuring out the forms that need to be completed.

 

Thanks,

That's exactly how I started. Now stopping is the problem... Welcome to the Forums! More fun than a coliseum full of Romans.

Just an update, still no word from CHPD.

mack-

i suggest you give them another call. just ask them for a status report. This will remind them that you are still waiting...

After six months I think my FID and HG permits are in. Unfortunately I missed the phone call and whenever I call back I get put to the firearms unit's voicemail. I gotta say, this entire experience has been pretty frustrating and it's mindboggling that anything paperwork related can take six months. If something like this happened at my work, I'd have been fired four or five times over the six month period.

6 months is ridiculous.

 

Congrats though. Now go exercise your 2a!

Thanks. First order of business is to find a place that rents a Beretta 92 and a sig 226.

I think Shoreshot has both.

 

edit: Heres thier list of rentals http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/14933-rental-board-be-happy-with-your-new-purchase/

excellent. Might have to take a drive over there on Saturday (with or without) my license and permits. I can do that right?

Yup
