I know I could dig up the answer in the administrative code, but this is easier and I am sure someone knows the answer off the top of their head.

For some reason I thought my last P2PP was up on July 19. But, when I looked at it last night I saw it was issued on April 13. Can I still get it renewed or am I SOL on this one?

depends on your town's chief

 

that's what the law says so you need to call your town to find out.

Moment of silence for the abandoned permit.

As mentioned, it depends on your PD. Mine(Franklin Twp) will renew an already-expired permit, though it does take a few days.

I think you are SOL, but who knows, perhaps your chief is willing to accomodate.

 

While on this subject, does anyone know how many days you have have to submit the P2P paperwork from a private sale?

Says on the permit 5 business days.

Today is July 14th.

 

31 Days in May.

 

Any chance a FFL would accept it today?

My department renews them no problem..ifthe Chief is in , just stop in and he'll sign it.

 

I would stop in and politely ask ..if you call on the phone ahead of time , more chance of a "no" IMO.

My town will renew a permit anytime between the 91st day and 179th day.

I extended a permit for the first time about a month ago. Went in 3-4 days prior to expiration and talked to the Lt as the Chief was out(more later) and Lt said it must be re-newed before it expires, not after as it is, well, expired and not good anymore. Think he even mentioned its not legal to re-new after the kill date. I let that conversation die as I was interested in seeing the chief, the guy who actually signs the papers.Where was he? On vacation using up accrued vacation/sick days because he just "retired" and may be down at the shore on his boat! Starting to get that un-easy feeling now. Ok, can the acting chief sign? No, has to be the original signee. Un-easy feeling turning angry. Trying not to seem po'd I asked what now?! They said to leave the pp and see what happens.Not having much of a choice thats what I did and get a miraculous phone call 2 hrs later that my pp is ready. picked it up, no questions asked and just happy I didnt have to deal with that potential little sh*tstorm.

The permit is good for 90 days. If it was issued April 13th, if my math is correct, then the last day you can use it is July 12th. There's 31 days in May. I highly doubt any FFL would accept it, and even if they did, you should expect at the very least a phone call from NJSP. Go try to renew it tomorrow.

Some departments use that rule others say it must be expired first before they renew it.

 

The problem (of course) is without the "book" to consult which the NJSP published we don't know beyond what the law specifically states and it states:

 

2C:58-3 f. Granting of permit or identification card; fee; term; renewal; revocation. The application for the permit to purchase a handgun together with a fee of $2, or the application for the firearms purchaser identification card together with a fee of $5, shall be delivered or forwarded to the licensing authority who shall investigate the same and, unless good cause for the denial thereof appears, shall grant the permit or the identification card, or both, if application has been made therefor, within 30 days from the date of receipt of the application for residents of this State and within 45 days for nonresident applicants. A permit to purchase a handgun shall be valid for a period of 90 days from the date of issuance and may be renewed by the issuing authority for good cause for an additional 90 days. Etc...

 

Note that it doesn't say "shall be renewed" which would indicate it's cumpolsury.

The NJSP Application Guide says nothing about extensions. It is an application guide, once the permit is granted there is no need for further instructions as to how to apply. The statute is clear enough - it can be extended at the discretion of the CLEO of the issuing authority. That discretion extends to when the extension can take place up to the 180th day from date if issuance.

 

Adios,

Chief was out of the office today. The counter lady took my permit and my note requesting an extension and said she would give it to the Chief tomorrow. They would call me when it was ready. I pointed out that it was expired. She said she did not think it was a problem, but said the Chief is really good about following up with residents and he would most certainly call me if he had any problems.

 

Just waiting to see.

I had a customer who renewed his a month after the expiration date.

Kudos to Lumberton. Just got a phone call from the PD. My permit is renewed and available for me to pick up.

My town will renew a permit anytime between the 91st day and 179th day.

 

My township will do the same thing. It completely depends on the chief.
