Well....As of yesterday the stupid lawyer for my employer had not called back the PD...and of course it still needs to be investigated. The conversation that I had with the state police LT said that their response or lack of response would be telling. On Friday the LT/DT called and left a message with the employers lawyer...No response was recieved. I re-filled out paperwork... Today the I called the township LT and he stalled stating he still needed to get the employer stuff settled. I reminded him that I may have lost my job because of this inquiry and the timemg of the unfavorable reference was suspicious. Again for its brevity and lack of specifics. I reminded him of the conversation with the state police. He continued on the tack that he had to follow the procedures. My husband spoke to him and was quite upset over this nonsense. He threatened to file a complaint/lawsuit and go to a judge over this and that we were evaluating our options.

 

A short time later I recieved a very friendly call back from the township LT. He made the call himself to the employers lawyer. The lawyer explained that it was all a big mistake and the letter was to be sent on behalf of another employee who they did not feel should own a firearm.

 

I placed a call to the State Police again and just recieved friendly call that I explained the recent activities. He reassured me that I should recieve the permit without any further delay. I asked him for advise on what I should buy and he asked me what I wanted the firearm for personal protection or target shooting. I explained I had initially wanted something for target practice but after this mess I woonder if personal protection might be more suitable. He than gave me a reference for one of the Retailers on this website. And he welcomed me to the Republic Of New Jersey. He also said that this was all good for my lawsuit against my employer

 

 

Phew..

 

What next

At times like this I'm very glad that I'm self-employed. At least I don't have to worry about my employer being a phallus.

 

And to think that they make Cops go through the same procedures even though they carry on-the-job, to & from as well as off-duty. It's all about the money. CRAZY!

It's all about the money.

 

Its not about money its about control. Its about legislators making a law to make you come to them to ask permission. That $2 you pay for the pistol permit hardly pays for the clerk's time to type it out (that's also a good one still using typewriters in the 21st Century).

 

 

 

Phew..

 

What next

 

 

What's next is you go buy your new gun, take a good training course, buy plenty of ammo, practice and enjoy

Congrats! Now that it's all over, would you mind sharing which department it was that you were dealing with? Also, was it your local PD who recommended a forum vendor? Feel free to PM just curious.

Actually it IS all about the money..Thanks to Corzine we have to go through the delays of the background Check for EVERY transaction along with the $18.00 fee to the SBI of course.

It is strange that the township police did not ask for any more money...now that I think about is is kind of odd.

The place the Lt from the State police recommended is Ocean Tactical...

FYI.. Before you make the drive, call Gerry. The Ocean Tactical storefront in Bayville closed a few months ago. I think he might still be doing business out of his house with the same phone #. Not %100 sure.

 

I bought my first gun through him and had a good experience. I was completely new to this stuff and he was very helpful.

Wow. The head of the Firearms Unit recommends a dealer who has closed.

The lawyer explained that it was all a big mistake and the letter was to be sent on behalf of another employee who they did not feel should own a firearm.

 

This is what disturbs me the most. It is wrong for an employer have any say over your personal life.
