Town limiting permits to 2 ...can you help??

Featured Replies

Hey guys and girls... who can I talk to about informing my town clerk that they cannot limit the permits to only 2.

 

She is a nice lady, I don't want to start trouble, just inform her that we can apply for however many permits we want. She tried telling me that it's state law, and I tried to educate her, but she didn't want to listen. She is just doing what she is told.

 

I do not want my name mentioned, this is a small town, and they hold grudges here. Can I PM someone the information?

 

 

Thank you,

 

-Frank

Elizabeth is limiting to 1 and still take approx 1 year for a FID/P2P. Where do these people get their information from? State law? You should've asked her to show you.

 

Contact NJ2AS and hopefully they can straighten them out going forward.

lol.. that's what I'm doing here, to see who to contact.. is there anyone directly to contact, or send an email to?

Call the NJ State Police Firearms Unit and have them call her DIRECTLY. She's VIOLATING the law.

You are allowed USE up to 6 permits in normal circumstances.

 

1 handgun per 30 days. Then you get an extension before the 90 days are up and you can use the remaining 3 for the next 90 days.

 

Bring in the state statute that explains you can purchase 1 handgun every 30 days.

 

As for the small town and holding grudges, the clerk is a public employee. Not to be rude but your property taxes pay their salaries. They are violating your right to purchase 1 handgun per 30 days. Case closed.

Do you think the NJSP will take my name and disclose that to whoever they call?

 

I'm worried about it cause like I said, she's a nice lady, just doing what she's told, and gets permits done in 4 weeks, maybe 5 since it all picked up. I don't want my application going in the shredder when she sees it.

I think technically, I can apply for 50 permits if I wanted, but would only be able to use 6 in the time frame.

 

As for the grudge, it happens here. This is a democrat town, like most in nj and I was harrassed for a while cause my cousin asked me to put a Republican sign up. He was helping the campaign to get a job.

 

I got a ticket for the political sign being to big and my neighbor put out her recycling in a black garbage bag, and put it over toward my property. She has done this a million times and I got a ticket for that also. All due to having that Republican sign.

 

They have backed off, but I don't need more shit from them.

They probably won't contact the messenger but either the person in charged (officer) or the chief.

You need to move brother.

Please don't pass on misinformation. Who told you that you were limited to 6 permits? You're wrong...

Not true. If you also applied for an exemption, you could use all 50 permits.

Lol. I grew up here. It's not a horrible town, but the local politicians sometimes think they are above it all.

 

They have stopped with the tickets, the campaign took care of the sign ticket and the lady next door took the ticket to the mayor and bitched him out. She didn't have to pay either.

 

I told my cousin to stay away from my house in November. I've never had any signs in my property before that time and have never had a problem. I've lived here 32 years.

 

I'm even undeclared in my voter registration for this reason. But I vote every year, just my business who I vote for.

Good eye. I totally forgot about exemptions. I've never used one, that's why.

You guys took my post out of context. I think you are just rabble rousing, haha.

 

It sounds like you need to become friends with a good attorney.

Not trying to be a smart ass and definitely not trying to get people rowdy but that in red will cause problems b/c someone will read that and take it for fact. If I am planning on buying someones collection of 8 pistols I can apply for an OGAM exemption to cover those and still get enough for a few rainy days. Point is don't put a # on something that doesn't have one.

Yeah. You make it sound pretty set in stone. No harm meant on your part I'm sure.

 

As for the attorney, I do have a local guy I have used for traffic tickets and stuff in the past. He knows a lot of people, so I would call him if the need came up. Luckily it hasn't.

 

Like I said above, it's not that bad here. I keep a low profile, so I haven't been the target of the cops or anyone else, except when my idiot cousin put that sign up. But it has stopped. I'm glad I didn't have to persue any legal action, hate anything to do with court

Click on the link in the first thread. I don't like that it doesn't have letter head but it might be enough to set the lady and/or chief straight.

 

If showing her the letter doesn't work, give Lt. Genova a call. He is the new Unit Head of the NJSP Firearms Investigation Unit.

  • Author

Ok.. I will call up the NJSP .. I don't think the letter will work ... I tried to tell her that I've been reading up on the laws and it's illegal to to limit permits and she said she was doing what she was told. I'm guessing someone higher up needs to get the information and pass it down.

 

Thank you all for your help, i greatly appreciate it.

Before going around everyone why don't you play nice with her. Explain to her that while she is doing what she was told, she was given incomplete information. Explain to her that your lawyer is ready to sue her and drag her though the mud, but you don't want that. Ask her to arrange a meeting with who ever has given that order and explain the law to them. If they won't relent, then call in the legal folks. We need to stand up to this crap.

You are allowed to USE 6 permits in normal circumstances. Nowhere did he ask about getting an exemption. For normal purposes you can use 6 permits in a 180 day period.

 

So lets be super duper technical. You want infinity permits, spend your $2 x infinity and have fun. That's if you get an exemption which is available for:

A: Purchase of multiple handguns from a person who obtained the handguns through inheritance or intestacy

B: A collector with a "need" excluse like the gun will not be available in 30 days or it was available as a package like to ruger revolvers, etcetera..

C: Purchaser is a sanction competitive shooter and they are for competitions.

 

Please don't pass on misinformation. Who told you that you were limited to 6 permits? You're wrong...

 

Your post is rude and uncalled for.

  • Author

--Tack Tickle, i wasn't trying to be rude..

 

--howard - umm, i don't want to do that.. she didn't want to listen the first time, i don't think anything i say will get her to change her stance... i don't want to threaten legal action unless the detective or chief tells me to F*** off ... but until them, i'll let the NJSP handle it ..

Fmtek, wasn't saying you were, megla's post was a little rude. My orginal post wasn't off. Noone mentioned an exemption. Everyone is so ready to jump down someones throat when they can pull out some special technicality like a keyboard warrior.

 

Your title asks to help out getting your proper amount of permits. 6. That's all you'll be using. Lets all get along here. Really people...

 

And in this current gun craze, good luck getting 6, haha.

And if you really want it taken care of, call Evan Nappen or his brother, he is specialized in NJ gun laws.

My orginal post wasn't off.

 

Your original post WAS off - you said "You are allowed up to 6 permits" and when called on it you went back and changed your post to "You are allowed USE up to 6 permits in normal circumstances."

 

Your original wording indicates that the LAW limits you to applying for no more than 6 permits. Please - you can call it internet commando but YOU were spreading misinformation, the LAW doesn't limit how many permits you may apply for.

And if you really want it taken care of, call Evan Nappen or his brother, he is specialized in NJ gun laws.

The idea is to do this without ruffling too many feathers. In this climate with nics taking a week, your lucky if you can use 5 permits without using an exemption. There is no limit to how many permits one can get. I know people that have gotten 20-30 at a time.
