I started a thread in the NJ Gun Laws section. I just wanted to cross post it over here to make the NJ2AS aware.

Went to apply for 6 pistol permits today. The very nice lady at the counter informed me that I could only apply for one, because they were running low on permits and the state ploice were also running low and not sending any more right now. After I politely explaind that they could not restrict the number of permits I request, the clerk called the Sgt. who said I could request 3 but only charged me for one and only let me sign one. I can come back in 4 weeks to sign the other two if they get more in. I of course replied that if they were going to do that, why don't I just leave my request at 6 and sign the other 5 when I come back in. I also suggested that if I apply for 3, that they should pay the $18 for my next application for 3. Let's just say that didn't go over too well either. So, now it stands that I applied for 3, signed and paid for one. How much do you want to bet that I only get one out of this?

 

I called the NJSP when I got home and the receptionist was very nice and thought the whole story was quite funny. She then transfered me to a Trooper, who of course did not pick up his phone. I left a voice mail telling my story and leaving my phone number. Think I'll hear back from them? Or should I just call tthe NJSP everyday until I speak to a Trooper?

 

If the police and politicians don't have to follow the laws, why should I?

So how did it all end?

All worked out fine. I got a call a few days later and was told to come in and sign and pay for the rest of my permits.
