I would not sign that form. Hand them a print out of the following instead.

 

 

N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.15 Confidentiality of background investigations, permits, firearms identification cards, licenses, certifications, certificates, forms of register, registration statements and applications.

Any background investigation conducted by the chief of police, the Superintendent or the county prosecutor, of any applicant for a permit, firearms identification card license, or registration, in accordance with the requirements of this chapter, is not a public record and shall not be disclosed to any person not authorized by law or this chapter to have access to such investigation, including the applicant. Any application for a permit, firearms identification card, or license, and any document reflecting the issuance or denial of such permit, firearms identification card, or license, and any permit, firearms identification card, license, certification, certificate, form of register, or registration statement, maintained by any State or municipal governmental agency, is not a public record and shall not be disclosed to any person not authorized by law or this chapter to have access to such documentation, including the applicant, except on the request of persons acting in their governmental capacities for purposes of the administration of justice.

To make a long story short.....100 different towns, 100 different rules.

My town used to make you get reprinted after 6 months. I recently went for 2 P2P and a duplicate FID and to my delight they only require the $18 plus $2 for every P2P.

 

they were ripping you off.. did your fingerprints change every six months?

My town uses the fingerprint service in Ewing. Easy $60 for them for 5 minutes work, and they had a lobby full of people waiting.

 

The funny or sad part is that the local PD took a print of index finger to put on the actual purchase card, but wouldn't do the other 9 fingers. I would have paid them the $60 just to spare me the drive and the hassle.

It appears they have that, too...

 

"Complete the attached Release Authorization form"

 

Not part of the statutorily defined process.

 

Went back on Thursday to put in for more P2Ps, this is how it went:

 

-Was told the turn around is ‘about’ 4 months. For permits!

 

-Was also handed that release form again and told that "Yes we contact your employer" and "Yes we tell them it's for a handgun permit."

 

-I thanked the lady and walked out.

 

I’m not going to just sign that form, but here’s what I’m looking at in terms of getting it changed:

 

-Speak to the Captain in charge. Unfortunately for me, it’s not likely he’s going to be changing any policies on his own, given his work situation: http://www.nj.com/middlesex/index.ssf/2012/12/edison_police_captain_files_co.html

Looks like it might be a while before I get more handgun permission slips.

AK 47s and AR-15s, here I come.

As others have stated, your police department could get you to redo your finger prints whenever they want to. Some require it at a certain time frame, say every two years, 5 years, etc. and some require it after a period of inactivity. Other than that when you get your permits you should be able to get as many as you want (at $2.00 a pop) and they should be good for the 90 days and then for another 90 days upon renewal. Some departments may limit the number of permits applied for, or not allow you to renew. This shouldn't happen and you should contact NJ2AS to let them know. Realistically, if you are not getting permission to buy more than one handgun a month through a special exemption say for buying a collection, etc., you won't be able to use more than 5 permits within a given 180 day period and you wouldn't be able to do so. Remember, in this state, firearms are illegal, except for exemptions. The unjust taxing and fees are all part of the tyranny which Americans and NJ residents are now subjected to. And, those background checks are coupled additionally with the instant background fee of $15 or thereabouts.

NJ purposefully makes it hard for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

My town makes me get a new background check and new reference letters from 2 people and my employer. A bit much if you ask me. All that does is make me bunch up my permit requests. I was only planning on buying handgun up front. Ended up buying a 2nd as well due to the application process.

 

What document is this information from?

It is from an old magical and elusive firearms applicant guidebook that the NJSP issues to all PDs.

I always apply for 2 or even 3- P2Ps, even if I don't use them thay are nice to have and since it is such a hassel to apply I figure it is worth the effort.
