Because I didn't want to drag out my Birth Certificate and or SSC for the "point's system" between items I had in my wallet I was sure I was good.

 

So, stroll up to the "ID Verification" counter and take out my license, FID, and Utah CFP. Hand them over to the (dare I say?) elderly woman at counter. She tosses the license aside, seems to admire the FID with a nod of approval, picks up the Utah CFP and stares at it. Looks over my shoulder and notices no one behind me and says "Come with me sir"

 

She proceeded to walk to the next counter, around everyone in line (at least 10 people) and hands my stuff to the woman and says, "This needs special attention, can you get it done quickly" and proceeds to walk away and as she does, tells me I need to come back and see her when I'm done at that desk, not to wait in line, just come directly up to her.

 

So I finished up at the counter and walked past everyone in her line, she takes all my paperwork again tells everyone she'll be right back and leaves her counter with a line, and takes me over to the other area once again to the front and hands it off to the gentleman and says "Special requirements, get it done" and as she's about to walk away, tells me she shot competitive pistol for years and appreciates the fact that a "young fellow" is interested in preserving Firearms rights for the next generation to enjoy. Asked me a few questions about the CFP and even how to apply and get one as she still enjoys shooting and thinks NJ gun laws are "A steaming crock of horse shit". Turns out shes from out west and her 72 year old sister is president of the local womens only gun club and an avid concealed carry advocate.

 

This woman, literally saved me a good hour or two at the DMV, all because I showed my CFP and FID cards..

 

Maybe there is hope for us after all!

:thumbs up:

 

what DMV so i know for future reference?

Eatontown. I dunno if she's always there, but both her and the final guy I dealt with were both asking questions about the CFP. Gave them both the GAPPNJ.com site, and the processed my stuff quickly. No waiting in line, not even "we'll call your #" was in and out in maybe 30min or less

Ill have to start showing my FL CCW to people when they ask for ID, maybe ill get some perks too lol

 

I hope i dont have to go in there anytime soon, but if i do ill have to look for this woman...

I was ready to hear a horror story. This has to be a first.

Great story. Sounds like a really cool lady, not too typical of a DMV employee.

Usually good experience and DMV ont belong in he same sentence.

I need to go to the dmv soon and usually go to the Eatontown location. I'll look out for her. Should have my FL carry permit by then.

 

Rich

My DL renews in August. I don't anticipate getting the rock star treatment like you did but I'll use my FID for some points. My luck she's off that day and I get grump a** who puts me in the back of line.

Well it wasn't the FID. I used it for points also. Only took 3 hours to get my license renewed,

 

Next time I'll try CCL.

Last time I went I was told my police ID didn't count for any points. I get to go again this year so hopefully I can be out quick. This year I am going to the one on rt 23 in Wayne even though it's like 30 minutes or more from me. There is one 5 minutes from my house but I refuse to go there anymore

Wayne 23 has been closed for a few years now, its on 46 behind PC Richards now

Damn...last time I was there was in 07. Thanks for the heads up

No problemo, 46 is closer to you anyhow

Is she married?

Are you sure you weren't dreaming.

Go to the one in Wallington bro. If you get there early you're in and out really quick.

Thanks for the info

Good story, nice to hear..

I'll second Wallington DMV for quick trip. And my wife love the Eatontown DMV that ios where she always went and her family still does. Makes me think I should get my Uhta and Florida CCW to help speed up renewal.

I renewed at the Lodi DMV in march, and I was in and out in 45 minutes-it was crowded too..I was astonished!

Funny thing also, is the gal who was checking my "points" saw the FID and pretty much put everything else aside.

Gotta say it was totally streamlined, I was anticipating a nightmare

I guess it could go either way.... imagine the nightmare if you got an anti-gun service personnel, you could be there the entire day!

The lines in Wayne are brutal. I use Lodi or Randolph.

Just a heads up. Anyone in southern Middlesex or northern Monmouth, Hazlet DMV, RT 36, Airport Plaza.

 

Twice now, DL renewal, done in less than 10 min.

Awesome story, Adam.

 

I will add that the Somerville MVC is TOPS. I have never spent more than 10min in there for anything.

I know which one ur talking about, I go there all the time and never had a problem, its quick for me. That huge line is usually for permits and d/l transfers from another state and other crap. I always go straight to the door and do what I have to do and leave within 10-15 mins, no waiting outside in the huge line

I've been using hazlet since it opened, and i've never spent more than 15 minutes total, usually it takes more time to fill out the card then taken care of..MAYBE 5 minutes waiting.

I went for an endorsement test, so had to go to Eatontown.

 

After my prints and such I'll finish it up at Hazlet..
