A buddy of mine is trying to get his FID and P2Ps in Rutherford and was told it can be 6-8 months. What can he do to speed the process up. It's ridiculous that towns get away with this.

Unfortunately though their actions are illegal there isn't anything you or he can do. Stuff like this is why there is currently a lawsuit.

Sounds a little excessive. Is there anyway they possibly said 6-8 weeks and it was just misundestood?

I'm hoping that would be the case but he was pretty serious about it.

Wow. I hope he heard wrong. North Arlington told me 6 to 8 weeks. Got it in 6. They had stuff sitting there a long time , but that was due to references not getting back.

6 to 8 months isn't normal. I can see 6 to 8 weeks. My wife got hers in 4 weeks and my pistol permits normally take 4 weeks. A couple of friends in other towns are around the 4 week time period. They're sitting on them if it's taking over 6 weeks.

I am actually going on 8 weeks for my P2Ps. I already have a FID.

My initial fid and 1 p2p took 10 months 2 weeks.... Yeah its crazy but i just got tired of calling and going there almost on a weekly basis for about 3-4 months.
