Got my FID today. Says it was issued Friday, which was just over 3 weeks from the day I applied. Not bad considering they process over 100 a month (so they say).

 

Only problem is they gave me 1 pistol permit despite my applying (and paying) for 3. They apologized and said the other 2 would be there in a day or so.

 

Kind of nice to be able to physically handle products at the gun shop. Still not sure why it's illegal to do so without the FID.

i got mine in about 3 weeks also is that old guy mike i think his name still there?

Not sure what his name is, but I'm sure he's the same guy. Yep, he's there.

JCPD is very cool.Had a long talk with a patrol officer who works there - about how the the FID is a waste because they never have problems with the registered users, just the illegal guns, bought in other stats that are smuggled in (*ahem* southern states). This officer was also an NRA member. Got my NJFID in about 5 weeks, but my second set of three permits in about 2 weeks, so it evens out.

It isn't.

Been fondling and drooling HKs long before I received my FID. Which store told you it was illegal?

Caso's, Meltzer's and Sons, NJ Firearms Guild. Every place I visited up here. I even showed them a photocopy of my CCW from PA before I moved. No dice.

I have a feeling it's because they don't want to waste time on a customer who may not be able to buy in the future.

They're not the only ones.......

 

Paul will let you handle the merchandise, whether you can buy something and leave is another story. The whole NICS process certainly puts a hurting on businesses trying to sell guns. If they aren't open, NO SALE!

 

Maybe one day a lawsuit will be brought-about against the NICS process and OGAM due to how it restricts people from making a living. The NICS process could be automated so it would be available 24/7.

How do you find out if the nics people are open?

It will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. Eastern Time, seven days a week, closed only on Thanksgiving and Christmas. (FBI regulations for the NICS system can be found at http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/nics/index.htm).

It is realy not, that is the gunshops policy..

They figure if you cannot purchase they do not want you wasting their time..

8pm M-F 5pm Saturday. closed on Sunday.

 

I had a store refuse to show me firearms without an FID even though I told them it was at the PD and I had to pick it up the next business day. If they told me it was their policy I could live with that but they told me it was the law. It wasn't like they were too busy; I was the only one in the store. Guess who won't shop at that store.

 

Paul's, Cheyenne and Sportsmen's Center will let you handle without FID.

got my FID from JCPD in about 3 weeks also!!

Some firearms only stores won't let you in the door without showing your FPID.

In NJ the ffl does not call into the nics system directly. We call into the state police who use the federal instant check system. The state police are closed many more days than just thanksgiving and christmas.

Ramsey outdoor was like that before I got my FID. I was there every other day just staring at rifles like a fat kid outside a bakery. The day I finally got my FID, it was like something out of Wayne's World when he went to buy the guitar.

 

Wow, I though NICS was closed on Sundays?

Did u guys call Eerie street PD weekly inquiring about your permits or was a letter sent to your residence?

I called after fingerprinting was done and they gave me a ball park (2 weeks after fingerprinting). I called one week later (you know, just in case) and they said a day or two. Called in two 2 days and it was done.

 

They said they would NOT call or send a letter. It's up to you to check if the paperwork is finished.

Thanks nj22. I called earlier and they said everything from state came back good and come by Tuesday or Wednesday for my permit. I'll be on the 3 week boat as well even despite the holiday. This forum is an invaluable resource

That's interesting. Ramsey Outdoor in Ramsey, I presume? When I first went there, I had my FID but didn't take it out and they let me look at any handgun I wanted. Good for them, since I ended up buying from them.

 

I have a different experience at Ramsey Outdoor in Paramus. They explicitly had my FID out on the counter the whole time I was looking. The man behind the counter wasn't as friendly either.

Caso's Gun-A-Rama, Inc. rocks. They answer your emails very quickly & will also special order if you want something not in stock. Go hang out & at least buy some ammo if you have the time.
