Welcome to the forums from northern Jersey! I waited approx. 90 days for my initial FID, and since then my permits have taken approx. 60 days each time. Which reminds me, it's time to reapply for six!

Hi everyone. I finally got my ID card and permit EXACTLY 90 days after I was finger-printed. I emailed the governors office and I actually got a phone call from someone at the NJSP (a week after my documents arrived). Thanks to everyone for your help and info!

 

Don't know what type of gun I'm going to get, but I think I want to start out with revolver. I took an NRA class about 15 years ago, but that was in PA (Pistol People in Bensalem). The woman runing the class said I did quite well and asked if I would consider competing. Well, I got sidetracked with family issues and never pursued purchasing a gun. I moved back to TR, and well...you all know the current political situation. I figured get a gun while you can....

 

I'm going to take a refresher class, ask alot of questions, and try out different types of handguns to see what feels right. I know I want a gun that uses ammo that wont be hard to find, or very pricey. Im looking for a medium lenghth barrel that would be good for home defense and possibly competition. (If I still have "it").

Welcome to the forum from Lake Hopatcong

Jackson was 8 months for initial fid and 2 permits

Wow, can't believe you had to wait so long. Mine was relatively quick compared to what you just went through. Welcome to forum, let us know what you eventually get for your first pistol.
