So yea I know a dumby. I messed up my dates and only had 25 days when I went to buy a new handgun today... As you could imagine nics got rejected. Where do I go from here? Lady said I should be getting a call from SP. What should I expect? It was an honest mistake and now I'm actually scared I might have screwed up bad... any input?

Depends on the area you are in..and how anti the prosecutors are.

F me. Prosecutors? Really would go that far?

I doubt it - Simple mistake.  Just re-run the NICs check in 5 days?

I am not a lawyer.  I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

 

I think the law, for lack of a better term, worked.  You didn't actually buy the handgun, you were stopped.  So you didn't violate the law.  

 

Do it again in 5 days.

^^^^THIS  sounds like the right answer!

I decided to be proactive since my stomach was in my throat with nervousness and couldn't sit around and wait for a phone call. I called the firearms inv unit at the SP and spoke with a sgt. He said they haven't prosecuted anyone yet for it and not to worry to much about it. I would still be getting a call from another officer within the next 30 days and to basically explain the accident and he'll tell me just not to do it again. He also said I can re run the nics when my 30 days is up and I should be fine. Man I was sweating. I guess nj laws work at making the legal, law abiding (except for this mistake lol) sweat and to scare them...

Just tell them you went to nj schools, your math is fuzzy.

Thanks Macbeth. That's what I was thinking but with nj you never know. The law DID work and I didn't buy more than 1 in 30 days. So what law could I have broken? Is there an intent law? I don't think there is.

NJS 2C:5-1 Criminal Attempt

You tried to commit a crime....GUILTY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just Kidding

There was no intent to break the law. Just do the NICS is 5 days.

I would lawyer up... For serious.

there is always a first

 

 

 

Just sitting here in the big Sweeney chair while he is in aruba on taxpayers dollars, Scanning the forums as he demands. He said to tell you to send any firearms you own to me, And you shall never own another gun again. As long as he runs NJ!!!!!!

 

Ha, Just some fun!   Redo your NICS in 5 Days get your gun and enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In all honesty this has to happen rather frequently, no?

He was probably trying to calm you down so you don't call a lawyer or leave your current location. They're on their way

Ok my blood pressure just went down. If I have a heart attack it's on you...!!

dood..  relax..  you spoke to someone, it was a cordial enough conversation.  you explained what happened..  if someone else calls, you'll tell THEM what happened..  in the meantime, re-run the NICS in 5 days when the true OGAM is up and that will most likely be the end of it..

Just wait the additional 5 days an re-apply.

you will be approved and all will be good in Camelot..................

 

 

I have had 2-3 guys get their dates mixed up and rejected and never

heard another word other than call me back in .......... days and we'll\

get you approved.

 

Stop worrying!

I cannot imagine it is the first time nor will it be the last time someone jumped the gun on their OGAM timeline. (pun intended)

you didn't get the gun and I'm assuming you'll pass NICS the 2nd time, right?

If the SP actually waste manpower following up on this I'd be impressed.

Thank you, ive never even attempted to break a law and just took my civil service test. I didnt want this little mistake to screw me, like i said, NJ is so vague and tries its hardest to screw gun owners, i didnt know what to think or do....

If the SP actually waste manpower following up on this I'd be impressed.

I'd be disgusted , a resident goes thru the hoops put it in place for gun ownership and screw's up the OGAM timeline ? Should come back as timeline not met, not a denial that gets you a call from SP

Locking upon OP's request.
