So it's been about 1 month since all my paperwork was returned by NJSP to my local PD. 3 weeks ago I called and spoke to the PO in charge of permits and he said that they had everything but would need 1 to 2 weeks as he had 20 other people with everything ready. At this point 3 weeks later I have not gotten a call back.

 

Is it too early to call again? Don't want to be a pest.

 

Thoughts

You could call, just be respectful and not arrogant. You get more with sugar then to do with vinegar...

Definitely call again, and as mattio41 stated be respectful.

You march into that police station with authority and demand to speak to the Chief. Then when he approaches you, take your index finger point at him and say "Where are my papers?!" .....Just kidding just kidding...But in all seriousness I have had friends call every 2 weeks. As long as you are polite you won't have a problem. Remember they are mailing you a letter to inform you to come pick up either your FID or Permit and things get lost in mail. So, a follow up call weeks later shouldnt hurt.

Thanks guys, PD in town has always been great to deal with. Very polite and professional. I will give them a call tomorrow and inquire.

Just make sure they date your permits from the date you receive them - not three weeks or more ago.

Took me about a month to get mine. End of Feb put in for them and got the letter saturday and picked them up today. I think a polite phone call couldn't hurt

In Newark they put your number on a sticky and ignore when you call.

At least they take the time to write it on paper. Down south, just voice mail. No person to talk to.
