I've played the waiting game for SBRs and AOWs in Texas. This sounds like I have a lot of learning to do before I move to NJ just for a handgun. Good luck to all and may you all have a speedy turn around. Its always worth the wait!

Thanks Tex!

 

Good luck to everyone else waiting as well.

 

I am taking the time now to get whatever else I can in place so I will be totally ready once the permits come in. I'll be sure to report when it happens!

Vtec.. I left a message for my PD detective to let him know that my letters were sent in and I also asked if there was anything else I needed to do or fill out. I haven't heard back and this was a week ago. I'm at 28 days.

 

I expect to be waiting some more. In 2 weeks I will follow up again. I too don't want to be a pest, but it is our right.

Agreed Cam

 

Keep on them - What are you waiting to pick up?

I'm waiting on my FPID and 2 permits. It feels like everyday is a week

I also left a message with the detective in the morning. No calls back. I would really like to know if there is anything missing. I don't want to wait 60 days only to find out that they are still waiting for my money order because I submitted my money order after I submitted my application. My wife dropped off the money order later that same day. She did not drop it off with the detective as he was not there at the time.

 

I think I'm going to submit a request for another set of permits depending on how long this takes. I know what I am going to do with 2 of the 3. I then have 2 or 3 other ones that I would like to get with the last permit. I'm going to keep a permit or two available from the next permit request in case I find a deal I cannot turn down or something I absolutely must get.

Vtec... You submitted money already? I only paid for my fingerprints.. Offsite.

 

I actually stopped into the PD yesterday and spoke with the detective handling my app. He told me he was supposed to hear from the mental health request people yesterday, so he said I was all good....

 

EXCEPT that he only received one reference letter back. Mailed the same day, so I guess one was lost.

 

I've never heard of so many letters getting lost as I do from the people on here regarding their reference letters lol.

 

He pulled out my file so I'm sure that he didn't have it cause I only saw the one. I am going to call him back tomorrow to ask him to send out another to my friend.

Yes, a $18 money order for the Criminal History check for additional permits.

 

I followed up with my voicemail from yesterday and got the detective today. I believe he said my paperwork was there but he did not get to it yet as he was backed up. I called on my darn cell phone and could not hear him clearly. He sounded annoyed that I called again. Hopefully, that does not mean I get moved to the bottom of the pile.

Oh ok, so you have your FPID already, these were just more permits? Yeah I feel nervous that I'm being a pest too. I'm calling today to ask him to resend my lost reference letter. Hopefully he has time to do it today, or Monday.

Guys- just caught up on your thread. I am in an almost identical situation with FPID and a p2p.

I dropped paperwork on 3/6, fingerprinted 3/10 references back 3/14 and on 3/21 the last letter, a "employer reference" letter that HPD requires was returned. I had followed up several times probably once for prints, once for references, once for employer. Prob called 4 times since submission. Last we spoke he said once he had employer letter that would be all required. No word as of today 3/23 Friday... He was not in today!

Concerned about "getting thrown to the bottom of the list" too but I've made sure to be polite and courteous each time. I hope being respectful and persistent will help ensure I get by next week. Fingers crossed- hate the wait!

Going to browse some again tomorrow, however I think I've decided on Glock 19 Gen 4. Other options include XD 9mm or Sig Pro 2022 9mm.

Keep us posted how you guys pan out. Good luck!

I applied on 3/15 in Matawan and just got fingerprinted today. One of my references returned his letter yesterday and the other will send it on Monday. So far so good.

 

I was told it would take 4-6 weeks in total. Seems on schedule at the moment.

 

Did any of you guys have to turn in your fingerprint info to the pd? The guy at Sagem Morpho said some pd require it to be turned in.

Not for me. Union Township PD did take my fingerprints the old fashion way. I believe the morphotrak fingerprints go to the state PD, FBI and whomever else wants it. I did not get a copy of the morphotrak prints. I suppose your local PD can easily request it.

I didnt' either. My PD said that "everything is in, just need to finish it up" (to paraphrase) so they got it, even the finger print place said that they would send it to my PD.

I guess my PD is a bit old school. They took my full fingerprints by ink on the card.

I submitted my P2P permit app on 2/1/12 and I am still waiting. When I called last week I was told they are still working on the requests from Oct/Nov 2011!

I am going to call again on Monday and check the status. This time I will ask to talk to the officer doing them.

Hey all,

 

Here's a quick update on my process:

 

App submitted with fingerprint receipt from Sagem Morpho on 3/15 (PD uses standard state mandated forms, nothing extra)

 

References faxed in letters to PD on 03/21

 

So I am hoping they have all they need...

 

I got my eyes and ears. Ordering a small safe tomorrow.

 

Will pick up a cleaning kit and some ammo on day of purchase, then thinking i should be good to go!

 

What are you guys waiting to buy?

I am looking at a 357/38 revolver as my wife really has issues with the slides on the semi's and the first HD will be a range/HD purchase. My second will either be a 1911 or a 9mm.

I haven't started buying the equipment yet but I will be buying 3 handguns once everything is done. Right now I'm considering an XD45 and a S&W 686. My other permit is a wildcard but I'm interested in an FNH FNP45.

 

Will need a safe for the nightstand and another for the closet. I'm thinking the MidwayUSA range bag. Haven't researched eyes and ears or cleaning materials yet.

Odin check the Otis cleaning kits. I got a hand down Otis cleaning kit from a friend. Its the law enforcement model. Does 9mm-45ACP, 5.56, 7.62 and 12ga '

 

I think my progression will be: Beretta 92A1, Sig Sauer Tac Ops in .40 smith (birthday present later this year) and a SW 686.

 

Mix in an AR and I'll be good to go....now to come up with the money.... ugh..

Thanks I'll definitely check out Otis. The Beretta is nice, I was shooting a friend's that is chambered in .40SW. Money is a limiting factor, I want some long guns too but there is a time crunch on these p2p's so that's where my focus is. I'll probably add a Mossberg 500 while I wait for new permits next time.

Mossberg 500 is a awesome gun. I havent gotten too much into shooting shotguns yet, but I'd love to find someone with the time to show me how!

 

I just want to learn how to properly shoot it so I dont end up with a dislocated arm haha.

Lucky SOB.... I'm jealous,,,

 

I called the Chief's office 2 weeks ago, left a message requesting a status update and I never received a response, so I called and left a message today for the agent who initially called and processed the applications for my wife and I. We'll see if that gets any kind of response since he's the one that said everything was good and we could expect everything within a month... that was 6 weeks ago.

I'll post back right here with pics.

 

Hang in there! Hopefully you'll get yours soon!

iRescue, any update?

I'm still waiting...the Detective is on vacation until next Tuesday. The Detective will not be back until day 60 and why do I get the feeling that he is not going to have it ready by day 60.

That stinks. How long have you had everything in (references, fingerprints)?

Hey Odin -

 

Ill have an update some some shiny new pics this weekend!

 

Hoping to get up to Bullseye tomorrow and range on Friday.
