Im a long time reader of this forum,just joined today.I live in east brunswick,have been getting p2p for 25yrs.Normal turn around time has been 6-8 weeks.Just applie again for 2 permits on the 3rd of this month. I called yesterday to see if references are in,i know one is for sure,the wonderful lady told me"oh, i cant say,if there is a problem you will be notified."Well says i should take about 7-8 weeks right?She responded"no they are backed up more like 14 weeks".says i 14 weeks are you sure?This is not my first time and i already have a FID.Says she" Well it should take less time ." wtf???

6-8 weeks? 14 weeks? It should be 30 days!

Yes it should take 30 days.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I agree, i never had to wait that long.I think this woman had no clue..

As a former resident of EB,I applied for my initial FID and 2 PPP's there in late 2010. At that time they were not quoting any expected waiting periods but made it a point to explain at every opportunity that because of budget cuts there were half the staff and everything from inspections and licensing to FID's,PPP's was taking longer.

In short my FID and permits took 4 months.I don't believe that permits will take as long especially since it's not your first ones but they are not motivated individuals IMO. Good luck.

I filed mine middle November and I stil haven't gotten them yet. I went to EBPD to make a follow-up over a week ago and the lady at the record's dept. just said that they have a big backlog this time around. I was told it's taking them anywhere from 8 to 10 weeks to process P/Ps.

 

Over a year ago, it was fast. I got my permits in just 4 weeks.

thats a bummer. Ive been debating dropping off permit paperwork for a few weeks and it looks like with the wait I might as well. last year mine were turned around in 23 days

Henry - better file it now. Hopefully, it will be ready by April

Just in time for my birthday. This may just work out.

they are always "backed up" when it comes to pistol permits..

East Brunswick PD are one of the departments that do not seem to go out of their way to make life difficult. I've had two sets of P2Ps from them and, while it may have taken a little over the month, there are no extra forms, no awkward phone calls and none of the generalised nonsense. If they're telling you they are backed up, they likely are.

I hope it does not take 14 weeks.Any way i really cant do anything about it, can i. In the recent past,like 1 yr. ago it took 7 weeks,and the staff was cut then also.
