I moved about a year ago. At that time I went online and changed my address with USPS and DMV. All my bank and bill statements come to this address.

 

My NJDL shows my old address on the front with an address change sticker on the back with the updated address.

 

Will I get hassled when I go buy a gun? Should i go to DMV and fork over the $48 early to get an entirely new DL? My FID and P2P paperwork is processing now.

Nope. The savvy gun store clerk may balk at the address on the front of your license not matching, but when you show him the update sticker on the back, all will be right with the world again. As long as one of the addresses matches your FPID, you should have no problems.

+1, as long as the addresses match, even if its with a change of address sticker, you're good to go.

I've got the same correction sticker-no problems at all

I have a change sticker on the back of mine too..not a problem so far.

I have a Hope and Change stick- wait what?

lol!

I always mentioned the change of address sticker in case flipping my license over was too much of a hassle... never was given any issues...

Thanks so much for the help all.

 

Just trying to think of everything before I go in to make my big first purchase.

Deep breaths. Most shops you go to are very helpful if you let them kno.w its your first gun.

Ask questions. If for some reason they give you an attitude, leave.

There are other shops that would love to take your business.

Hey IRescue,

 

The detective came by my house today to fingerprint me and have me sign my permits and ID card. I guess Asbury likes to confirm that you actually live at the address provided.

 

He printed my right index finger on my card then he took them back to the station and gave them to the chief to sign. He told me that the chief is good at getting to things so he may even have a chance tonight to sign them.

 

Unfortunately it looks like I will have to try to get them tomorrow if I can get out of work early...SO close!!! Lol

 

Where are you in your quest now?

 

 

He came to your house?? Holy cow - is that a standard practice in NJ?

That is awesome! I hope the detectives come to my house from Gloucester. That way they can see I am who I am and maybe when I need my next gun in a few months the process will be smoother...

Yeah, I assumed it was a bit out of the ordinary, but whatever gets me my permits lol.

 

He has been very easy to work with, so much that I am even thinking about writing a letter to his superior saying how helpful he was

 

While he was here, my wife handed him her application and mental forms, he called 10 minutes after he left with her fingerprinting case #

 

 

 

 

Very nice. I really really wish the police were all like that. Time and experiences always prove that wrong though...

I don't think that's cool at all that they came to your house unannounced, I think the vets on this forum would think the same, even evan nappan would probably think this is wrong too. please chime in guys if you think I might be over reacting.

(Chime) Who said it was unannounced? Of course I knew about it. He called me in the morning to see when would be a good time for him to come by.

 

 

Hey Cam!

 

Im in!

 

I got my permits last week. I've been running around on last minute stuff for work. Hoping to get to Bullseye Tactical this weekend or early next week and pick up the Beretta.

 

Hang in there - you're so close!!

Well seeing that it was not just a random show up your pad and take care of this and it was communicated that the officer was coming over to do this, that's cool, and pretty nice for him to go out of his way.

Additionally, him taking your wifes info and calling back 10 minutes later with more info for her is great. It does beat having to go down to the PD for this, however as long as this nice gesture didn't have an alterer motive to it.

Any idea what type of ulterior motive he might have had?

 

I don't know. I suspect that the police are not providing a "service" here. I am not going to speculate about what ulterior motive they might have for wanting an opportunity to sit at your kitchen table. But, I assure you that it is not because they are trying to make the process more convenient for the citizen.

I don't like it at all. I would prefer to meet the officer at the police station, where police business is supposed to be conducted.

It was odd to me too. But for the record, he never sat down, and it took all of 45 seconds. He didn't look around or ask any sort of interogatory questions. I spent more time giving him my wife's permit application. And he sent out her reference letters yesterday when he got back to the station.

 

I personally have no problem with him asking to meet me at my home. It didn't seem mandatory, but even if it was, I wouldn't mind.

 

I understand there is a high crime rate in my town, and if he wants to make sure my home is where I say it is, then ok.

I didn't feel invaded because he asked when it would be convenient for me. My terms.

 

I can present myself in any manner at a police station, but I could have fanatical propaganda covering my walls or hate materials spread all about. Peoples homes give good insight to their behavior. If it's an extra step to keeping guns out of seedy people's hands in my town then ok.

 

Just because a person has a right to own a gun, doesn't mean they are qualified mentally.

 

In prior posts I've stated how cordial and helpful the detective was at all stages. My permits are getting signed today. Time count since filing for FID and 2 permits: 45 days.
