First post, was planning on dropping off my App for the Purchasers Card and for one pistol permit this week. What's the process in Jackson regarding time attitude etc. Anything I should know beforehand?

What you should know ahead of time:

 

1. What the legal requirements are that your local PD must follow, i.e. time restrictions and forms they ask you to fill out.

2. What the phone number is for the NJSP Firearms Division in case your local PD doesn't follow these requirements.

Ok. Also for employer ai put Self-employed as I am out of work. Is that going to be a problem? Do I relief my address and phone number again?

If you are unemployed, then you put unemployed down. If you are in fact finding side jobs, then you would put self-employed. Don't lie about ANYTHING on this application, it's not worth it. If you are not prohibited from owning firearms, you will be fine....just don't lie.

I have been having a really rough time with Jackson,I applied for my FID and 3 PP's and handed in all forms and my fingerprints to Jackson PD on December 14th I was told 6-8 weeks wait time. My references got and returned their papers one week after, I am still waiting on my FID and PP's. I found out from some LEO friends there's some political BS going on in the town and explains why I have not gotten my card and permits yet.

Anthony, I hope you have contacted NJSP already. If not, it's definitely time to do so.

Jax was always 6 weeks, like clockwork. No extra forms as I recall. I haven't applied for any P2P for over a year, so not sure what the deal is there. The budget wars have been heating up quite a bit and the admin part of the town had been on Friday Furlogh for a good chunk of last year. There's certainly a lot of tension now between the PD, Mayor and biz mgr (Ex- Mayor of Paterson ).

Still, if you are past 90days, a lawyer may be your best bet, they can't/won't ignore that

What I was able to find out was basically what Matty kinda hit it on the head, there is a budget war going on between the department and mayor. Supposedly they were knocked down to 4 work days and they aren't processing anything in the records department to make it seem like the department needs the 5 days to run effectively. I believe this past week they got switched back to the 5 days. Anyone that applies for anything in the town right now is being put on hold, I am gonna call tomorrow find out what the deal is with this budget crap. If I don't get a straight answer that is acceptable I will get in touch with state police right after I get off phone with them and look into a lawyer.

Tuesday the 5th is the Special Meeting for the 2011 budget at the town hall. Should be interesting.

Even thought I have a clean record im starting to think of maybe hiring Jef Henniger (www.njgunpermitattorney.com) just to speed up the process so I'm not waiting 6 months 0.0. Anyone know his fee?

Most gun lawyers won't step take the job until your permit hits at least 90 days.

well Jackson is pulling out all stops. They started ticketing the commuter lots for people with outdated permits. In 5 years, this is the first time I've seen this. Legal? absolutely, but they are just enforcing it now.

Jackson is sooooo far behind the times with EVERYTHING it isnt even funny. They only thing that town is good for is taking your tax dollars.

 

They have a RAPIDLY growing drug/gang problem that the police department refuses to address. They keep their blinders on as if the problem will just go away. For a bunch of guys who within 6-8yrs on a job will be making 90-110k/yr really have to step up to the plate and start earning their keep! Parking tickets at a commuter parking lot isnt gunna save the town you idiots! Im so glad I moved out of that rediculous town.

Got call today that my FID and PP's were ready and I picked them up, I think the budget stuff was settled with PD and the chief decided to work again.

i have been waiting since Sept. for my FID. one one of my references he had to send it 3x cuz jackson said they never got it. 3rd time i handed it in direct to them after he filled it out. that was Nov 14th. and i did call to make sure they got it that time. my prints and everything else have been done since beginning of Nov. Now im just waiting for the call to tell me i can pick it up.. how much longer do i have to wait?

i called up yesterday and they told me it was with the chief. so hopefully next week.
