  • Monroe Township (Williamstown) report:   Paperwork submitted for 2 pistol permits on 7/6/17. Permits were ready on 7/26/17. I even asked over the phone for a 3rd permit and they completed it

  • So glad I'm moving to Bridgewater next year.

  • Then I would call the NJSP Firearms Unit and see what they have to say anyway, there is absolutely no reason it should take that long, minus the time it take for the references to go out and be return

My initial turn if for FID and 2 P2P was in Lumberton, nj some time ago.  I had a 28 day wait period from start to beginning.  I have never had anything but great experiences with my township.  The clerk is just wonderful and has always been super helpful.  Dealing my township has been a pleasure and I am about to turn in 3 more P2P on monday.  I am interested to see what the wait time will be this go around.  

Picked up my permits in Linden this morning. Took 128 days.

Manalapan still has weird hours and they are inconsistent on the dates, each week they post new dates and the hours are always 10:00am to 2:00pm, when everyone is working.  This is what the Manalapan PD website has today:

 

 

THE NEXT FIREARMS APPLICATION DROP OFF AND PERMIT AND ID PICK-UP DATES ARE AS FOLLOWS:               

 

WEDNESDAY JULY 23RD FROM 10AM TO 2PM

THURSDAY JULY 31ST BETWEEN 10AM AND 2PM

TUESDAY AUGUST 5TH BETWEEN 10AM AND 2PM

Manalapan is way better than before. At least they post the times. I used to get different answer every time. They had nice evening hours a few years ago.

Call or stop in and ask what's holding them up.

I've had long delays in Edison too, but it's always been the mental health check from my former county.

Call and get replied "when it's done it's done"

Dropped my prints off at the Gloucester Township police station in early January. Got a call in late May asking about my employer, didn't have one since I got fired about 2 weeks after I put in the original paper work. Officer said it would go to the Chiefs desk for signature. Went to the station last Thursday (7/24), was told everything would be ready Monday(7/28). Picked up the FPID and three P2P Monday afternoon.

He dropped off his forms today and now he is being told his references have to come in in person. WTF. Cranford must be very anti. I don't mind b/c I only like 10 minutes away but this is absurd.

Appointment made. My friend is shocked they are requesting this extra step.

I went to Wayne township to do a change of address on my FPID and they said the new chief is treating this like a new application and wants me to get fingerprinted again. Does this sound right?

Yes some towns require re fingerprinting. Its a pain in the A$$ but they are within their rights to ask for it again. I had to do so in Wayne myself when I moved back and my Mom was the mayor at the time. Just how it is in some towns. Cool thing when I moved back to Hopatcong where I initially got my FID they kept my original fingerprint card and I didn't have to do them for a third time.

Lacey PD: Permit to Purchase Handgun (Already have FID)

Total: 100 days (so much for 30 days)

Independence Twp, Warren County.  3rd round of 2 P2Ps.

 

Applied 09/10/2014

Received and dated 09/26/2014

This marks the 2nd consecutive 16 day turn around!    Independence Twp FTW!!! :D :D :D

Fort Lee, Bergen county 

 

I started the paperwork for 2 handgun permits in early May, paid the $20 online on 05/05/14

then my first reference never received her paperwork, so i had to use a second one who sent it back immediately (from rockland county NY) it took them 3 weeks to receive it  by this time its mid august

so now it is almost October and I'm being told the same thing i was told 4 weeks ago. "its the next one on the detective's desk"

needless to say I'm a bit annoyed that they're dragging their feet 

 

 

UPDATE: received my permits on 14 nov

total wait time ~6 months

55 days.

 

No new fingerprints required.

I did visit 2x and the local PD was not able to give me a clear update.

What was the submission date for the paperwork itself (if different from the fingerprint date)?

It was 10/10. Had to wait a week to get an appointment for fingerprinting and take another day off of work.

So, roughly 35 days total..... Not bad really.  As you go for more P2Ps, hopefully they will use the electronic SB121A and then fingerprinting/background check won't be as much of a delay factor.

A friend of mine from Garfield is trying to apply for a firearms ID but the "detective" is never there nor does he return his calls. What can he do?

A friend of mine from Garfield is trying to apply for a firearms ID but the "detective" is never there nor does he return his calls. What can he do?

Did he already turn in the application? Or is there no one else that works in the department there to hand him the paperwork? The applications are available online from www.njsp.org, he could print them out himself and drop then off at the PD. Gotta be someone at the window during normal business hours to accept the paperwork?
