searched topics but couldnt find anything--does anyone know when you get a handgun permit extended does it get extended from the original date it would've expired (90 days from issue date)or from the day its accepted for the extension? and also how long before it expires should i bring it to the pd for the extension? thanks

There should be several treads devoted to this particular subject but the short answer is that any extension,it's effective date and period beyond it's expiration when or if it can be extended is entirely up to the discretion of the CLEO in your town.

Some towns will not grant an extension beyond the initial 90 days while others will sign off an additional 90 days at the inception of the P2P.It is probably better to just ask your Chief,call or log on to your town's community website if one exists.

IF your town grants extensions they are for another 90 days beyond the initial permit expiration date, period.

If you haven't dealt with permits before in you town, and since it can sit on a desk for a couple of days, I would take it in at least one week before expiration.

In my town one person handles all the paperwork. I always greet him properly, usually engage in small talk and now whenever I stop in it is on a first name basis.

 

When I bring in an extension I always have to leave it for the "chief" to come in, but I think that is more of a "won't bother him right now" thing. Never takes more then a day and is usually the same day.

 

A week in advance should be good.

Some local PD's want the permit back "before" it expires, others want it "the day" it expires and yet others want it "after" it expires, and some just don't care. The only way to know is to do what Porthole says above and go there and talk to the people and find out what "they" want.

Permit with extension, if granted, is good for 180 days from date of original issue.

Exactly true, and The best way to explain it.

Especially when it is written right on the permit.

Well, I was allowed to get 6 and can renew after 90 for another 90 "for good cause". The good cause is the law only lets me use 3 in 90 days...All rather bizzar.

i just spoke to a friend who asked the SP about the extensions and they said bring it in before it expires and it will take up to 2 weeks because it has to be sent back to trenton to be extended,HUH? that cant be right

I was told the local Chief need to do it - no Trenton - so that sounds fishy.

You were told correctly, providing the town in which you live has a PD. For those that live where there is no municipal PD, they have to rely on the nearest NJSP barracks - it may well be, and I don't know this for certain, that the ranking officer that would have to sign off on NJSP issued P2P's and extensions, is at headquarters in West Trenton.

 

Adios,
