Getting prints done on the 8th. Does anyone know if Howell waits to send out the reference letters until fingerprinting is done? Itching to get this all taken care of so I can go looking for my first shotgun.

Good luck, I don't know the process for Howell. Now what kind of scatter gun are you thinking about!

Good luck in the process. As many will share it can take a very long time for you FID to come back. Hope you don't have to wait too long.

The guns in order of interest atm...

http://www.winchesterguns.com/products/catalog/detail.asp?family=021C&mid=512257 - Winchester SXP field/camp combo, also like the defender.

I like the combo, as I want to learn to hunt. Barrels on the other 2 guns shown can be switched out from what I have read.

 

I haven't ruled out any gun yet honestly. I want to go check out as much as possible. Whatever feels best and shoulders nicely I suppose.

in pretty sure they do wait.. my prints were done 1/22 and the reference letters were not sent out until 2/6... they had the prints back by then..

 

no worries, Howell is pretty good compared to others (especially jackson).. initial FID and 2 permits in 6 weeks.. what will take the longest is the mental health check which is done by monmouth county

References just got letters yesterday 3/20/13

Was at Howell pd earlier this week picking up my corrected fid and the sign on the records window said they could be up to 3 months due to heavy demand..

 

Hopefully not..

Yeah , I am not worried honestly. Everyone there was very nice. If it takes a bit of extra time because of the demand, so be it. I don't think for a moment they are just sitting on it. Very good experience so far.

Howell was great, i agree.. Jo Vigliotti was extremely nice and helpful when I spoke to her a few times.. i agree that they are not sitting on it, just a lot to go through..

Welp, got the letter in the mail. Got my ID. 49 days from time I got fingerprinted. Everyone in Howell at the PD and records department has been super helpful.
