I have been searching the forum high and low looking for the New Jersey statute that is very specific as to what forms are required to apply for a FID or a new PTP. If I remember correctly, it is very explicit as to what the requirements are, and makes note that the police MAY NOT impose any additional requirements. I have already downloaded the State Police Superintendent document telling local Police Departments that they may not limit the number of pistol permits. My goal is to give these docs to NJ2AS and have them made downloadable from the website so that anyone can walk into their local PD with documentation in hand in the hopes that they can avoid the standard bs of additional forms and limited PTPs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey Chris,

NJ2AS is already in the process of pursuing 3 towns that are in most violation of the PP process. Give us a little time, I'm sure it will get straigntened out state wide.

Tony, I have faith in NJ2AS and wasn't trying to duplicate or subvert their work. I think you guys ARE the long term solution to forcing towns to comply.

I meant for the average person that wants to walk into their local PD now (while things are still bad) and not knuckle under to their bogus restrictions and requirements. The PD may laugh in their face and say "go ahead and sue us", or they may decide that the person who comes in prepared knows the law and can't be taken advantage of. I have read here of both types of responses. I just wanted to provide an easy resource for folks rather than telling them to search this forum and the internet.

I like the idea. Your thinking of 2C:58-3.

 

If I remember correctly, the forms are not specified, only that the forms created by the Superintendent must be used (something like that).

 

The last sentence of paragraph (f) contains the "no additional conditions or requirements" language.

 

If you are able to package it nicely, I'll make sure we put it on the website somehow.

 

Thanks for the help!

2C:58-3 Purchase of firearms.

 

f. There shall be no conditions or requirements added to the form or content of the application, or required by the licensing authority for the issuance of a permit or identification card, other than those that are specifically set forth in this chapter.
