Hello to everyone from Soth Jersey! I'm totally new to guns and everything related. I'm currently in the waiting stage for my FID and first gun purchase, I started the process on January 14th in Gloucester Township. I'm glad I found this forum and look forward to learning so much from all of you!

    Welcome!

    And please be sure to let us know how long Gloucester Twp takes to complete the process for you.

    In the past, they've been reasonable (60-90 days) for some, and up to a year (!) for some others.

     

    I assume as a new shooter at Bob's that you are starting with handguns rather than rifles, yes?

    Which handgun(s) are you looking at to build your new marksmanship skills?

    Yes, I am keeping track of the process for posting in the forum. One thing I can tell you right away is that I had downloaded the forms from the NJSP site, filled them out and when I took them the police station, they said that they have their own package and that you could NOT use blue ink, which I had done... Aslo, all forms had to be signed in their presence... So, I took their package which was basically the same forms I had download (which looked like they had been photo-copied about 1000 times), filled them out in BLACK ink and took them right back. All was good from there (so far).

     

    For my wife, probably a Mossberg 500, for me, I'm leaning toward a Ruger SR9 (with the smaller NJ legal magazine).

     

    I guess if a "year" is a possibility here, I'll be getting a lawyer if it goes beyond 90 days, because our home WAS broken into previously, luckily, we were not home at the time.
