Hey all!

 

So my app has been in almost 2 weeks. The other day i went to mikes gun shop to check the place out. He said a few things that kinda put me on edge. I told him my app is in but just for the FID not p2p bc im not 21 so i figured ill get the p2p when i turn 21 bc it should be a shorter wait. I told him i live in fort lee and he said it might take 6 months. So it really got me worried bc if they both take 6 months that means i have to wait a year to get a handgun.. Anyone have any experience with fort lee or any infortmation on what i can do to help the process? He said it got better but idk what that means. Im really worried im going to have to wait a year for all this crap to go through.

Each time you put in for pistol permits, it could take between 2 weeks and over one year depending upon your city of residence. One of the guys in Plainfield has waited I think a year for pistol permits. Someone else posted the other day that they got their pistol permits in 13 days. Draw a bell shaped curve between 2 wks and 12 months and your town will likely be somewhere in the center of the bell curve.

 

Pistol permits expire after 90 days and can be renewed up until 180 days from initial issue.

Fort Lee = Bergen County = Liberal Douchebags in charge (most towns anyway) = Longest possible wait for anything firearm related.

 

I grew up in Tenafly and have friends who still live in the area. Good luck.

If you are going to turn 21 before you are likely to see your FID you may want to see if you can add permits to your in process FID application, since the process is exactly the same. Many towns will let you add to apps that are in process. If they won't, you could put in a second app for permits now, but you'll (most likely) have to pay the $18 to the NJSP again.
