I have an open pistol permit that I would like to extend beyond the normal 90 days. What is the story with getting an extension?

Do they have to extend it, or is it arbitrary?

Also how long of an extension do they normall give?

 

Thanks

It is up to the discretion of the Police Chief in your town. If you live in an anti-gun town you can expect him not to extend it. In many towns it is as simple as going to the station and geting a signature on the spot.

I do not know if it is the same with all PDs..but ours ( North Arlington) we just walked in ,handed to the Sgt , he brought it in to the Chief , and he signed it on the spot. They have been pretty good overall with the whole process though.

 

Personally , I would walk in , say you were in the area and wanted to know what you have to do for an extension. Maybe if the Chief is there you will get the same courtesy as we did.

It is extendable (providing you CLEO will cooperate) for another 90 days. 180 days, total, from date of issue.

I was fortuneate with my extension. Walked into the PD, gave her my permit and asked to have it extended. I told her I'd be back in a week to pick it up and she told me to hold on. Five minutes later, she came back with my permit extended. Your mileage will vary.

Just check with your PD, like was said some (most will) some won't, but also ask if they want it there before it expires or after it expires, each town can be different.

just called my PD, said to wait until just before it expired and they would do me the favor of extending it once for 90 days more. Did not sound happy about it, but would do it

 

Thanks

My town will extend them no problem, but you have to leave them there and pick them up a few days later.

when i lived in bloomfield they did it no problem but you had to go the exact day it expires, not before or after. the town i currently live in the captain does not allow extensions, i was never given a reason why just that he does not...
