I'm thinking, no.  The PD at which you submit the P2Ps would have to remember not to issue them until your birthday.  I doubt they want that responsibility. In fact, for a PD that leans toward "delay/denial," that's a pretty good "legit" excuse to deny. I wouldn't risk anything that could result in a denial, making you have to answer "Yes" to the denial question on the STS-033.

 

Not a good idea. Just wait until you (or the person) turns 21.

You can apply, it should be denied. When you sign for the application you must put the date on the application of when you are submitting it. If that is not after your birthday it would theoretically be denied. And putting the wrong date down should also get you denied if the pd is actually paying attention when you submit the paperwork.

 

As well If the application somehow reached the SBI before your date of birth as well it would be denied, and who knows how fast the municipalities actually ship out the paperwork to the state. 

You'll have to work it out with your PD. IMO, it would be better to ask first than to be caught midstream in this case.

 

ETA: I have had to turn away someone who was under 21 that had a Permit issued. The PD and NJSP never even checked his birthdate.

It will probably take a year to get the permits anyway.......lolz....

Thanks for the pointers guy's, I'm going to take pk90 advice worst they can say is no

Wait until you're 21.

Back when NJ didn't suck as badly, you could get pistol permits if you were between 18 and 21 for use to buy pistols via private sales.

 

The limit on 21 years is a federal dealer requirement.

 

Anyone remember when that changed?

I tried this before I was 21, the PD wouldn't allow it and NJSP said even if the paperwork made it to them it would be denied.

 

I believe possession if under 21 (even if inherited in a will) is illegal or border line illegal.

Does anyone know when it was 18 to buy a pistol. I got my first first pistol when i was 18 here in nj But when did they change it to 21. Anyone remember. Also im sure your pd is just going to say you have to be 21 to submit the paperwork. Id just wait.

18 is still Federal Law. My guess is 1966 for 21 in NJ.

So in nj is it person to person 18 years old. Or 21 across the board here.

You can't get a permit to purchase before 21 so, to do it legally, it's 21 for private sale too

 

 

This signature is AWESOME!!!

Another stupid law.

I hope you are not logging handguns out as a FFL to 18 year old buyers, that's illegal..

 

18 face-to-face in most states, NJ is 21 both face-to-face and FFL.

My town told me to wait until I was 21.   In all actuality it doesn't matter if they issue it before your 21 as the NICS would most likely deny you from buying the handgun anyway.
