I havent had to get printed in a while so not familiar with Sagem Morpho(?) process. Do you call them and they give you a date/time or is it possible to request an app't? Trying to get my son hooked up with a FPID but its kinda hard him being military in NC so was hoping to get it done in steps via applying over TDay leave & MAYBE picking it up Christmas leave but the printing timing may screw that up.

 

 

Edit-(10 mins later) He just called, fugrs denied his leave!!!

You go on their website and schedule an appointment at the facility of your choice. It's all pretty simple.

You can request an appointment. You book it online in 5 minute slices using a crappy web interface. You should be on time or you might get squeezed out. If it's at the end of the day leave at least 20 minutes early because they won't wait one second for you; they close up shop.

Yeah, you have to do it online. I forget how you do it over the phone but i remember reading on there site that you need to fall under some circumstance to do so, like no internet service or something. Basically like the guys said here, you go online and pick a specific day and time to go using the info your PD supplied. Not sure what the wait time is looking like now, but i had to wait an entire month for the next available slot. The day i went they were booked, and the place was empty... workers just standing around.. go figure. They had 3 rooms and 3 techs to take care of 1 person per 5 mins. it takes about 5 to get one person printed.... i guess it's better then having to wait in the place, but it seemed like a complete waste of resources.

Your son getting a NJ FPID is a good idea but keep in mind if he is military permanently stationed in NC he can buy handguns and long guns there from a FFL or private party due to his military status. He just needs to bring his military ID and copy of his orders assigning him to NC to the FFL. IIRC NC requires a pistol purchase permit from the sheriff, a holdover Jim Crow law. Its still easier than NJ. If he lives in barracks he will most likely have to keep his guns in the arms room.

 

Any guns, including handguns, can be legally brought back to NJ no registration required as long as he has a NJ home of record and a NJ DL to prove it. He would be subject to the restrictions when transporting long guns the same as handguns (to and from range, etc.).

Those restrictions are the topic of an earlier thread of mine here under "Gun Laws" titled " Son coming to NJ with Ar15" (sorry, cant paste) and without the FPID not sure if actually traveling here with a long gun is ok? Cant find the exemption for it.

Read your other post and the only thing I have to add to my previous post under this thread is the guns and mags he brings back to NJ are NJ legal.

 

If your son is stationed in NC and your address is his home of record he is moving it to one of his residences and the FPID is not needed. He would be subject to the restrictions applicable for transporting the rifle to the range while he is home. When he goes back to NC he would be moving the gun back to his other residence. All covered under existing law.

 

This would be the same as thousands of NJ resident without a NJ FPID who have legal residences in NJ and FL who move NJ legal guns they bought in FL back to NJ.

Griz, thanyou for your input as i'm sure it is a well educated and informed one.
