If you are waiting for handgun permit to come in and use your FID card to buy a shotgun and NICS check goes through is there any way you end up getting denied for handgun permit? My guess is no but you never know in NJ. Thanks!

No...I buy all long guns while I am waiting for handgun permits

Thats the crazy thing. We can buy all shotguns and rifles our pockets can handle, wait for a nice NICS check and still have a 90 day wait for a hand written or typed permit.

Haha thanks. And it's the same check process? The NICS check and handgun permit application? Going to get my first shotgun in the meantime

Same Nics check for either at time of purchase. You can even get a long gun and a handgun on the the same Nics check. Handguns can only be purchased at the rate of only 1 every 30 days.
