Hi,

 

I ran into the Detective processing my initial FID/Permit in town today and he tells me I should have my FID and Permit next week! So my town only takes about 3 weeks.

The only disappointment is only 1 permit is allow every 30 days, as I had originally asked for 2 permits not knowing the policy. But he tells me just to come back in after

30 days for another permit and it only takes about a week! I dont have to go through the WHOLE process again just for a permit.

 

So, my plan is I will be taking the NRA FIRST STEPS pistol course with Guns for Hire, down in their new South Jersey location at The South Jersey Shooting Club, right outside

of the Pine Barrens.

 

Than, I will purchase probably the S&W Model 67/Model 15 blued 6 shot revolver , or possibly the Ruger GP100, and next month get the second permit and purchase a .22 revolver and

start having fun at he range....probably at Fort Dix since its just 20 mins from my home.

 

This process was painless, at least in Robbinsville!!

Usually it is painless, but some people get very impatient....you'll see it on here.

 

My town takes anywhere from 1-2 months with permits, a little more for your original FID (2-3). Yeah, it is quite a lot of time but it's not a big deal to me. I just make sure I apply for my permits a couple months before I am ready to buy, and viola - they're done and I'm ready to buy some new handguns

 

Good looks on the intro pistol class though. You will learn a lot, and it will greatly benefit you. It's a great class to attend! I had a lot of fun during mine. Keep us updated on your future purchases...

I finally received my permits in December from East Brunswick after a wait of 4 months, but had no problem getting 2 permits at the same time and later on another 90 day extension on a remaining one when I couldn't find a particular firearm.Congrats to you though.

They should issue you up to 3 permits since they are good for 90 days (and up to 180 days with an extension) and you can only use one a month.

Good job. Gun for Hire does a great job. I didn't like the 6 shot max on the revolvers so I went with a semi-auto. Too much reloading for me. I'd rather have a 15 shot magazine so I can do three 5 shot drills before reloading and I can have several magazines loaded and ready to go.

This is against the law - they are not allowed to limit you on the number of PPs. You can only BUY one handgun every 30 days, not get a permit for one every 30 days.

How can it possibly been against the law?? I am dealing with a Police Detective on the Robbinsville PD for 27 years. This guy was very professional, courteous.

 

So he is breaking the law?? Should I call back and report him to the Cheif?

I would politely inform him that according to the law, they are not allowed to limit the amount of pistol permits you can apply for. He can check with the NJSP about it.

You can apply for 1,000 permits if you want. You can also get exemption for handguns. I typically apply for 6 permits at a time.

interesting...I will call him up Monday to discuss this.

 

Maskim...a 1000 huh??

That is correct. It's one gun a mont, not permit.

 

I apply for 6 at a time also.

They should issue you up to 3 permits since they are good for 90 days (and up to 180 days with an extension) and you can only use one a month.

 

He shouldn't be limited at all period.

 

However applying for more than 6 would be a waste of time. ETA: Unless you apply for an Exemption.

Not true, you can purchase more than 6 if you use an exemption form.

Harry,

A waste of time for who? You do know that there are many, MANY, who use the exemption form, hence six is even not enough for them. Also, what if one were not happy with their purchase and wanted something different? Per statute, one is exempt from the 30 day limit. The permits would run out soon enough. Again, one comes upon a sweet deal to purchase multi handguns at once. They would be SOL with a minimal amount of permits in hand. IMO, 6 should be the minimum amount of permits applied for.

Ok. let me clarify, that was meant for people who are not applying for the exemption. Was talking more along the lines of how many you can actually use within the 90 original days plus the 90 day extension. Yes I do know that with the exemption forum you can apply for and purchase more than 6 and it's not limited on the number.

 

I wish I could, I could apply but just don't have the coin for that.

 

I'll also edit my original post so it's not misleading to other who may read it.

The letter from NJSP confirming that Municipal PD's may not limit the number of permits is posted here:

...and Maks is correct. You can get 1,000 permits if you like ($2 each). Maybe you want to buy a substantial collection. That is perfectly legal. You can get OGAM exemptions as a collector.
