Wait times for pistol permits

Featured Replies

Submitted my FID and P2P paperwork on October 9, 2014. Haven't heard anything and my references have not gotten anything in the mail. Is this typical for a first time FID and P2P? I'm in Washington Township, Warren county. 

did you get your prints done?

South brunswick 2 P2P took 20 calendar days. Had to do everything except fingerprints.

I'm in Washington Boro and deal with them as well. Initial FPID and permits took 16 days, so did my most recent round of permits. I know the secretary was on vacation the week of Columbus Day...if she didn't get them to Det Pantuso before she left, that could be the holdup. Try giving them a call, the secretary is usually pleasant to deal with and Pantuso is also really helpful.

 

 

This signature is AWESOME!!!

I am going to give them to the end of this week to see where everything is in the process. Sounds like Washington Township is a pretty quick town to work with. Thanks guys, I will keep you updated!

When you get your permits and something to shoot, PM me and we'll hit the range.  I'm on S. Lincoln Ave. in the Boro.

Got a call today, everything was ready. I had a feeling my buds were busting my chops that they didn't get anything in the mail. Going to be getting a EAA witness 45acp/22lr. Once I get it I will pm you and we can hit up a range.

 

What range do you go to?

EFGA...if the weather allows. I can guest you in.

I wouldn't be so sure they were busting your chops. I just got a second set of pistol permits, my first was in 1999, and the two references I sent in never got any paperwork and I still got my permits. This also happened to one of my references when he applied last year through a different town. It seems like it's up to the town whether or not they want to follow through with references.

 

Anyway, I'm in Montville Township and it took ~34 days to get my permits.

Took 90 business days last time. I just put in for some 12 business days ago........78 to go....I hope.

Six weeks and six days. That's the longest I've waited here.

 

In all fairness, our PD has been facing serious internal problems that have strained their resources.

 

The less serious one involved the officer who handles handgun purchases, who has been preoccupied with a complaint from two wacky individuals.

Some of these time frames are down right scary. I did my FID and P2P at the same time, It took right under 8 weeks which seems long but I think there was an issue where the clerk was on sick leave so that delayed a few things. But even with the wait my PD in Pequannock is super easy to deal with.

 

Next month I'm going to put in for another P2P on either 2 or 3 handguns.

Last round of permits took 7 weeks. Processed in under 4 weeks and took another 3 for the chief to sign them. Was pretty upset seeing as now I gota line up my purchases exactly or else I have to write a letter asking for an extension.

I called the licensing permit dept told them it was 10 weeks then transferred to the chief left message hope I get them for Christmas ho ho ho

Working on 4 months in Edison ... seems not much has changed. I called a little over a week ago and was told mine is sitting on the captains desk waiting to be signed  :icon_rolleyes:

7-3-2 in my thoughts is the fucking outrages I know it's just words it's shows how powerless we as gun-owners truly are.When I called the clerk after 6 weeks she told me the same.... Then I was dreading if they put. My paperwork on the bottom hey I am human maybe the chief is thinking maybe I have enough guns that is up to me isn't it end of rant

You should have put in for those three 3 months ago. And put in for three more yesterday. You should overlap your applications if they are taking that long. You'll never have to wait for a permit ever again.

Insight into the matrix!  :matrix:  Make them work for it!

Mine took roughly 3 weeks and there was some holiday time mixed in there.......

Oh I hear you,

 

my biggest issue is that I just graduated and now am looking for a new job/career. Im pretty sure once I get one they will send me the letter sayin I have 90 days to pick up and use my permits. Good luck to me for finding a way to go pick them up during business hours with a new job (cause Edison only lets you pick up wed-friday during business hours). Oh and did I mention I already put deposits on the guns im buying :girlwah:  :girlwah:  :girlwah:   

Just got 2 more 7 weeks in moonachie. It used to be 4 weeks in the past but they have a new guy doing it now.

I probably won't be getting any for a while. I complained about wait times to the govenor. Got a letter from him saying my complaint was being passed on to the state attorneys office. Then I got a phone call from a trooper who wasn't really happy with me. Then he forwarded the complaint to the middlesx county prosecutors office. So Iam sure when it hits my police department. That will be the end of my permits. Lol I will probably start getting pulled over a lot too!

 

Dave,

 

    What happened after you complained? Did they expedite your permits? 

Dropped mine off Monday.......

P2P app submitted to Branchburg PD on 9/11, permits picked up on 10/7.  No extra forms.
