The copies of the p2p after a private purchase that need to be mailed to Trenton and the local pd...should they be mailed certified to make sure they are received?

Someone will be along soon with a definitive answer for you, but for a couple of bucks sending it certified certainly won't hurt.

I sent mine via regular mail and I'm still here. You do have a paper trail then though. I keep my copy and scan it into a pdf for my own records as well.

If you send NJSP and the local PD their copy it is highly unlikely they both would be lost. You still have you copy to CYA. I've used regular mail for about 40 years and have had no problems.

 

If it makes you feel better send certified. I don't see a need for it.

i've done it both ways, and no problems yet.

 

I've talked to at least one dealer who said he used to send Certified, but it got too expensive, so he just puts a stamp on it now, and he's had no problems either.

Reg mail and forget about it, file your copy with your important documents.

Everything I send to NJ government goes certified, return receipt. We recently had an issue under their environmental division that would have caused a client to pony up $100,000+ dollars into a fund because Jersey let the crap sit in their mailroom for 6 weeks, and probably lost it, before we called. After we called to check, they told us we would probably still be screwed even if we forwarded them copies of the earlier documents and the evidence of the timing of mailing and signature of receipt. So we piled it all on them and did not take "maybe" for an answer and brought it to the point that they were finally more worried about themselves than us.

 

Nothing to do with pistol purchase copies, but still. Document your shit when fines or jail are in the offering. You have far less to worry about sending your tax return to the IRS and NJ, yet every CPA said to send them Certified RRR before people started sending them digitally.

The gun stores I know send them regular mail.

Regular mail is good..
