I guess the state can change the rules midstream? I've bought two items in the last three weeks and waited 3-4 days because NICS is only taking faxes now?

 

It's amazing that I don't have the right not to pay taxes but the state has the right to change the rules making the 2A less relevant.

Be thankful your FFL could actually fax them! Most of the NJ FFL's I know use digital providers that block the 900/976 calls altogether. I've got a rare Smith waiting in the safe and had my permit since the 14th, but my FFL has FiOS and Verizon does not have the ability to unblock the 900/976 calls, and have advised the only solution is for him to get copper line back for the fax. Sheesh. It's bad enough NJ went with the POC instead of Federal NICS directly, but to then use a system inaccessible due to once widespread abuse (i.e., phone sex numbers) instead of stepping into the modern age of the internet is nuts! I miss the days of just going in, buying, and walking out because I held a state CCW, then I moved back to NJ...

They didn't change the rules, they are just overwhelmed with requests due to panic buying since the shooting in CT on the 14th. There are at least 3 other threads about this.

Just got my 39 NICS checks back tonight. The oldest was since last Thursday.

I just find it absurd that they are requiring a fax nowadays... Just have FFLs scan and send as a PDF in an email and things would be so much easier.

 

Not to mention the fact that it would probably save a shit ton of paper.

That just gives them a excuse.... "Sorry for the delay, we are experiencing server issues"

Sorry, we'll have none of that common sense talk here in NJ.

I told you guys already in another thread.......................... right under our noses, a "firearms purchasing waiting period" is being implemented. Since you can't take possession with the NICS being completed, these delays do exactly that. Put a waiting period in effect.

I thought that at first too but after seeing the full scope of the buying frenzy I buy the overwhelmed aspect of it. You know they aren't looking to help them out because it's not that important to them

NICS = WAITING PERIOD..

Obviously, I'm exaggerating somewhat. But think about it. I'm sure that someone in a position of authority is putting two and two together and has figured out that by delaying any NICS checks, it does result in a "waiting period".

Everything about buying guns in NJ is archaic. We don't need to be using hand typed permits to buy handguns either, but the majority of politicians here don't want to fix these problems because they want the process to be a pain in the ass.

for a rifle or shotgun cant you just got Penn. to buy it ?

Went to my local shop got a crapy price and a bad attitude because I asked a lot of questions, left there drove 2 hours into PA got exactly what I wanted at the price it was supposed to cost, picked up 150 rounds of 12gauge 00, 200 rounds of 40 S&W, 100 rounds of 5.56 got a PICS done in 15mins. WTF is wrong with this picture? I'll be headed to MS in a few weeks I know it will be all shits and giggles there.
