Just moved to Millstone Twp and they dont have a local PD - state PD town. How do i get some new handgun permits? Where do i go? Thanks

Closest State Police barracks.

Otherwise it's the same procedure as with a local pd.

I believe the nearest barracks to you is in Cranbury.

The state police is correct. They take a while. Average is 3 months for a buddy.

You will have to go to the Hamilton barracks.  Even though Cranbury is closer, they don't do permits so you will have to go to Hamilton, it is right off route 130, just before the shopping center.

 

I live in Millstone and have been going there for years.  They are always very polite and helpful but also very slow.  I have averaged almost 6 months on every interaction whether it is a change of address on my FID or P2Ps.

 

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Ditto what Joe says. Hamilton Barracks covers the area, polite enough but expect a 5-6 month wait with no status updates.

Thanks guys. I have a change of address and want to get a few permits. How many do they limit? Hopefully i can get 3. I'll head there this week.

No local police, no fire fighters, no high school, makes you wonder where $10K+ a year in taxes go...............

County, School, Library, Open Space, etc.

 

ETA: My Municipal tax is 17% of my total tax.

I was being facetious Paul. I lived there from 1970 to 1988, my parents are still there. Used to be a nice place to live.

You should have no problem getting 3, they have given me 2-3 each time I apply, one time when I applied for 2 they asked if I wanted to get the 3rd just in case.

Don't get me started.  I am sure we are funding other areas in Jersey very well...

[off topic] I have every tax bill since 1989. My real estate taxes went up 33% in 20 years in NJ. My current real estate taxes in AZ are at my 1994 NJ amount. [/off topic]

-There's no limit to the number of permits you can get.

-As for how many you can use, it's one a month with a 90 expiration, so 3.

-Or 6 if you extend them to 180 days.

-Or unlimited if you apply for a multi-handgun exception.

Whoa what's this multi-handgun exception all about? Does that mean you don't have to keep dealing with the process each time you want to buy a handgun? How much is that and how hard is it to get?

The Multiple Handgun Purchase Exemption is a permission slip to buy more than 1 handgun at a time and ignore the one per 30 day limit. You must still have a valid pistol purchase permit for each handgun you buy.

 

The 'catch' is that you must supply the make, model, caliber and SERIAL NUMBER of all the guns you want to buy in advance.. So you must  'lay in' or identify all the handguns you desire, gather their data and apply for the exemption. The exemption is not permission to go shopping for whatever guns you want and figure it out as you go.

 

There is no charge for the forms. You can download the forms from the NJSP website. I suggest you do that and read them.

 

I say 'forms' because there's one for you, and one for each 'supplier' of the handguns you want. It might be one FFL, more than one FFL, a mix of FFL and private seller etc. But the key is the SERIAL NUMBER. All the handguns must be identified in advance.

 

When you use the exemption it's one NICS check for each FFL multiple-gun transaction, and the usual paperwork for a private sale. E.G. if you buy five handguns from one FFL, it's one NICS check and one transaction. Five pistol permits still required, of course.

Edit: What 45doll said

Thats actually not bad when i had my three i was counting the days to pick up my guns purchased and sitting at the FFL. I think i'll go for 3 and the multi exception. Time to shop. Thanks

I knew that sounded too good to be true lol

More like 4 if you push it. 

 

Day 1 use permit 1

Day 30 use permit 2

Day 60 use permit 3

Day 90 use permit 4

 

That said I could be wrong because I was told that OGAM allows you to buy on the 31st day not the 30th. Also NJSP is notorious for giving you stale permits.

The law says that you can not acquire another handgun WITHIN 30 days from the previous. Your example has 28 days and 29 days (some say 29 and 30) in between acquisitions.

You cannot execute four permits (all with the same issue date) in a 90 day permit window and adhere to OGAM.

 

A permit is considered legitimate for a 90 day window. This is an inclusive date window. The issue date is Day 1 (and NOT day 0) and the expiration date is Day 90.

 

The OGAM law is an exclusive date window. Therefore the date of a transfer is treated as Day 0. The next day is Day 1, and the next transfer is legal on Day 0 + 30; or Day 30.

 

If you get the permits the day they are issued, execute your first purchase on the issue date, and wait the requisite 30-day-per-purchase window:

 

Purchase 1              Day 1      Issue date

Purchase 2    +30 = Day 31   OK with OGAM

Purchase 3    +30 = Day 61   OK with OGAM

Purchase 4    +30 = Day 91   No good; permit has expired.

 

And I've never met anyone who received their permits on the issue date and executed a transfer that day!

 

If you ever have to write a program for a banking purposes and do calendar arithmetic, trying to write that code makes this clear.

 

Interesting factoid. You can theoretically buy 13 handguns in a calendar year with 5 days to spare for purchase dates that need to fall on holidays or Sundays when NICS is closed. You'd need to have valid permits ready at all times for that scheme. And of course, the $$. But it's more than 'one gun a month' from a calendar year perspective.

 

Only in New Jersey could exercising the 2nd Amendment hinge on calendar arithmetic. Sad.

I have gotten permits on the day they were dated and transferred a gun that same day.

 

You're correct. The fourth permit would need to be extended.

Well now, in New Jersey that's the equivalent of winning the lottery.

 

Congratulations! You're my first!

Phone call to pick up my permits was almost a week after the issue date.

Same here, I usually get the phone call 6-10 days after the permits are issued.

13 days on my last set

I'm your second!

BTW: When we do face to face transactions for handguns, the seller needs to send the paperwork to both the buyers local PD and the NJSP. While we are going on the "honor system" here, what happens if you "forgot" the exact transfer date on the FTF and went to a local store/FFL before the 30 day period was up and bought another gun? What if the NJSP are soooooo far behind in entering info that they don't catch the fact that you just acquired two guns within a 30 day period? Heck, you could do it within the same week.......

 

I'm not condoning breaking their ridiculous rules, god forbid you buy two more handguns within a less than 30 day period to add to your 50+ handgun collection.........

You must police yourself.   "I forgot" is not a defense for prosecution.
