May 25, 201214 yr How long have you guys been waiting recently for your permits? I got my first one in th ebeginning of this year in 3 weeks. Well Ive been waiting over 2 months and nothing still. Is this normal?
May 25, 201214 yr Could be cuts, could be increased permit demand, or possibly just someone slacking (or on vacation). You could always follow up with your local PD given it's been 2x the time they should have to issue your permit(s). And remember it is all town specific so your experiences may differ greatly from those in other municipalities. I have a lot of faith in my town recently (manchester) I dropped my paperwork off Tuesday afternoon, and my references got the letter the next morning.
May 25, 201214 yr Author I called a couple weeks ago and the woman clerk told me they will let me know either way.
May 25, 201214 yr Well than the choice is yours. If you called @ 30 days it would seem prudent to give another ring to follow up considering they have not given you a response. You can ask them politely of the status of your permit, as you are awaiting a purchase that may be time sensitive (teehee) however also note there have been fears of vindictive clerks that will see that as an insult to them and further hinder your permit wait. If you received your first one in a timely fashion it doesnt seem to be a standard practice. I would give them a ring when you hit that 30 day mark of when you called them last and nicely ask the status, as the wait time is unusually long and you fear the item you had in mind for the permit will soon no longer be available.
May 25, 201214 yr In Gloucester City I have been waiting for just short of 11 weeks. I have been told it will be signed early next week.
May 25, 201214 yr So far 79 days for me... I called at day 49 and apparently they never received one of my reference letters, so that's slowed it down. I wonder if they would have bothered to tell me if I hadn't called... Last time I spoke to them 2 days ago, they said the permits had been signed by the chief and just have to be microfilmed - is that SOP?
May 25, 201214 yr microfilmed?! Damn references. I keep up on mine. I usually offer to take the sealed envelope and mail it for them. : ) aka get moving on that shit.
May 25, 201214 yr Deptford 3 permits in 12 days, very very good, but we should be able to purchase with the FID and Nics......... or in real america DL and Nics...... JMOP
May 25, 201214 yr 8,7 and 12 days. Wow. Can't even get that with professional courtesy. Maybe it's time to move.
May 26, 201214 yr Let' see. Submitted everything on 3/26. So add 30 +25...carry the two... um yeah. Still waiting.
May 26, 201214 yr Just over 30 days for me in Bayville too and still waiting. Last time I got 2 permits took almost 6mths! -Scott
May 26, 201214 yr I just got mine in 24 days. Put in on 5/1 and picked them up on 5/25. Wish it was abolished all together but 3 1/2 weeks isn't bad considering what I've read on this forum.
May 27, 201214 yr 8,7 and 12 days. Wow. Can't even get that with professional courtesy. Maybe it's time to move. Helps that I live in a Republican town, active in town meetings and donate. I have no issue calling the mayor for stuff or sending a text to the OIC when I see something going on. Yeah, I love where I live, lil outa the way but I have 3 ranges within 10 minutes of my house.
May 28, 201214 yr Usually for me it is about 5 to 10 working days. This go around took forever...3 weeks. FWIW - None of my references have ever recieved a questionaire about me. Usually I list my neighbor who is a LEO in town and another LEO in a neighboring town. This go around I listed 2 'regular' folks and they didn't get any affadavids to sign about me.
May 28, 201214 yr yeah I got my permits in 2 days Helps that I live in a Republican town, active in town meetings and donate. I have no issue calling the mayor for stuff or sending a text to the OIC when I see something going on. Yeah, I love where I live, lil outa the way but I have 3 ranges within 10 minutes of my house. How do you know you are in a Republican town?
May 28, 201214 yr Has anyone gotten/applied for permits from njsp Sussex barracks? Going to apply in a week or two, just wondering what I'm up against. Pm me if you don't want to announce to the innerwebs that you live up here.
May 29, 201214 yr yeah I got my permits in 2 days How do you know you are in a Republican town? Every elected person is republican. Democrats don't even run any more.
June 12, 201214 yr Lost track somewhere in the 6 month range, wish I got a reciept lol I would ask for my money back. And they started with the references 2 weeks after I dropped off my paperwork. I even went in after work... In uniform... To ask about 2 months ago and was told that there 6-8 months behind, my initial fid and p2p took 4 weeks!! Ugh I decided just to give up since I plan to move soon
June 12, 201214 yr And that's what they want --- to frustrate you into giving up. Reach out to their chief mayor to force their hands into complying with the law.
June 12, 201214 yr Nah, its not worth it I'll bw moving in a month hopefully if I can find a house lol.
June 12, 201214 yr Put in for permits in February went in March to see if they were ready, nope not ready so I tell them give me another. Go in April to see if ready, nope so I tell them give me another, go in May you guessed it give me another. Well it's June now they were ready instead of 3 they gave me 6. Make me wait give me another.
