Here's a workload permitting request:

 

In 2C:58-4, © second paragraph (from NJ State Police NJ Law Database- Permit To Carry)

 

"...If the application is not approved by the chief police officer or the superintendent within 60 days of filing, it shall be deemed to have been approved, unless the applicant agrees to an extension of time in writing."

 

What date shall be considered the filing date?

 

For example, an application submitted and acknowledged as received by the local PD Firearms Officer stating the application was complete and satisfactory, including fingerprint results, and had come back from the NJ State Police after their check.

 

For administrative or appeal purposes, does anyone on the Forum know what the definition is of the official filing date?

 

Thank you for consideration on this; it will be very helpful to know.

the date on the form when submitted is generally what the legal "filing date" is...

example, filing your taxes on april 15 means it's post marked on or before that date.

filing for benefits or pension are generally accepeted as the date the forms are notarized or submitted...there should be no other way to look at it

This is NJ it doesn't matter. When it comes to firearms only civilians have to follow the law.

I hate to be one of those headbobbers, but I as the gun-buybacks have proven, this is true.

 

Take an unloaded pistol to a church and you are looking at 7 years in jail.

 

Take an unloaded pistol to a church during a gun buyback and you are magically ok, even though there is no exemption in NJ law for taking guns to gun buyback programs. I suppose one could argue that this is an oversight, and it's in the public interest, but still, the law is the law.

 

Who do you go to when the police break the law?

Yeah, welcome to NJ. You go to jail when you break the law and you go to jail when the police break the law...

Thank you very much to all who responded.

Intercoolers reply was very close to the mark. According to a NJSP HQ Firearm Official, the filing date is the date the application is accepted by your municipal permit and licensing office.

Even if the chief/superintendent followed the letter of the law and approved your application because his dept. missed the deadline (yeah right), the next step is to have a superior court judge sign off. And that's where your app goes to die.

Thanks, Alpo. Wilco.

 

Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;

Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgement.

Not just firearm laws. When it comes to the corrupt low-life's inhabiting the Capitol building in Trenton, it would appear most laws don't apply to them.
