Called my PD today bc its been a week since they contacted my refrence(retired Sgt). Ive been trying to get them to amend my paperwork to add P2Ps since i just turned 21. The ladies at records have tried transfering me to the captain 2 prior to today. Luckly i get in touch w him today. So i explain to him my situation and he talked about my refrence and that i was spoken highly about blah blah and he told me to just buy a rifle. Now ive been wanting a handgun for a while now and hes trying to push me to buy a rifle telling me pistols r expensive and such and that i should buy a rifle and if i want a pistol to go back to him for permits. But to be honest i just want my p2p.. So i just politely say thanks for the help and we hang up. Later that day while im at work my dad at home gets a call that my FID is in. Im going to pick it up tmrw unsure whether or not P2Ps r added most likely not. Should i just ask to talk to the captain or any one have any good advice as to how i should go about this? My dad and gf both pretty much said to just tell him that ive been looking into handguns and i no what i want and such.

Go pick up your FID tomorrow and see what you get.

 

If you don't get any permits, I would politely ask to talk to him. He will most likely be 'busy', in which case I would ask politely if the secretary could leave a message with him telling him to call you back in regards to your FID. When you talk, tell him you are interested in both rifles and pistols and you would appreciate it if you could get a couple pistols permits because you are looking at both rifles and pistols.

 

He can try and persuade you all he wants, but in the end, it is YOUR choice what you want to buy or what you don't want to buy. Nothing should stop you in wanting to get pistol permits.

Technically, you don't even have to explain yourself at all. Just say you would like # pistol permits, and be done with it.

 

I'm sure that is what most future posters will say.

It's not up to the cops what you should buy. You'll have to reapply and go through the whole procedure again.

Pickup your FID and drop off this: http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/info/pdf/firearms/sts-033.pdf

 

No questions, no "talking" just submit for pistol permits.

And whatever additional illegal forms your town may or may not require.

I think I have this right? You submitted for a FID and while waiting you turned 21 and decided to add the pistol purchase permit?

 

It sounds like the Captain is telling you what I would have told you, pick up what you applied for. Nothing says you can't apply for a pistol permit once that is in.

 

I kinda hear you in that you wish he could just change it, but it sounds like it was already well on its way before you changed your mind.

Get your FID card in-hand.. and when picking up, tell the GIRL you'd like a PP application form.. fill it out ON THE SPOT, and give a wink and ask how long will it take since you just obviously got your FID from her.. sometimes the GREASE helps..

I was 20 when i filled out the form for my FID and it was on its way for the most part by the time i turned 21. But when i talked to the captain yesterday he told me to go right to him if i want a pistol after i get a rifle so thats whats getting to me. He didnt say fill out a form for permits or anything so idk its shaddy but it also seems like hes trying to be nice...

+1 on the go there with filled out form and money orders in hand.

I would do as everybody else has stated.

 

Get your fid, apply for p2p.

 

very simple

You're gonna be there anyway. Might as well submit the paperwork work a pistol permit/permits. Just bring the forms already filled out and your money order.
