Just out of curiosity, what NJ town/city is typically the quickest to turnaround handgun permits?

 

I am in Robbinsville (Mercer Co.) and ever since I got into this hobby back in 2011, I have got 6 permits. All of them took NO LONGER than 13 days for me to get the permit

in my hand. I currently have another application in yesterday and I suspect it will take the same amount of time. For the 2 permits I got late last summer, the Dectective

called my 2 references the next morning, hard to beat that, I would think.

 

We do, however, have a new acting Chief (a female, first in Mercer Co.), so it will be interesting to see if the process changes are not.

I recently did an address change and permit to Spotswood. Took two weeks. Could have been sooner but I had to wait a week to get finger printed.

Did a private sale with someone that lives in Union Beach, NJ and he said 4-5 days he got his permit.  My town however takes 6-8 weeks.

Wow, hard to beat 4-5 days!

Wow, hard to beat 4-5 days!

PK90 is a very knowledgable guy, an FFL, and IIRC retired LE.

Curious to hear his input.

Paul:

 

Is it illegal to issue in less than 7 days from date of application, or just illegal to use it in less than 7 days from date of application?

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob<------too lazy to look up the statute

I think minimum has to be 1 week.

 

My town took 12 days

Fastest permit turnaround was one week.Ewing, NJ (mercer co) used the new online made the approintment with PD and received permit in hand in 1 week.

Interesting, so I guess the "4-5 days" comment was just nonsense.

I don't know... No one knows lol...  I'm already used to waiting 6-8 weeks for mine.

I submitted the application for 3 permits and filed the online background check on Dec 23 2015 --

 

References received their questionnaires a few days after that

 

I'm still waiting 

Damn, I could live with any of these timelines as opposed to what I am going through now!

My last 2 permits late last year took 13 days to get in my hand. When I went to pick them up, the Detective said, "sorry for the delay."

Allendale. First round 4 weeks.

 

Every request since the first, 3 days unless the Chief was out of town.

You're right Bob. No one can acquire a handgun within 7 days of application. But you know what happens when someone gets their permit. The ink isn't even dry and they are at the store buying. They could unknowingly break the law.

 

No handgun shall be delivered to any person unless such person possesses and exhibits a valid permit to purchase a firearm and at least seven days have elapsed since the date of application for the permit

just making fun of the fact the law exists but not well known because of our infamous delays that render it irrelevent 

I grew up in Vernon, Sussex County and I remember getting my first P2P when I turned 21, the complete process was done in 3 weeks, and each additional P2P I got were all right around 2 weeks. 

 

Flash forward 30 years or so and I am consistently waiting 5 months through the NJSP.  Sorry had to vent!

I was legal in Rockaway Township in 11 days.

Carneys point 3 days was the fastest. 7 was the longest for p2p
