I just got the call that my 2 permits are ready for pickup. This time it took exactly 6 weeks! In the past, its been 2 weeks. I asked the detective about it and he told me over the last 6 months or so, applications for

permits in Robbinsville Twp (Mercer Co.) have more than tripled.

6 weeks, I wish. Last time I put in for a permit in my town it took 6 months.

I think this is happening state wide. Usually in Bridgewater i get my permits in 2-3 weeks. this recent round has been almost 2 weeks and my references still have not received their letters.

In Robbinsville, no references letters are required. All you do is write down the two references on the application and they call them from that information.

Same deal in my town. Chief says theyre seeing a record number of applications. My first go around was 2-3 weeks. Now it's around 5 weeks which is still great.

WOW this is amazing. I never realized how long the waits were when I lived in NJ. Lived in Jackson most of my adult life and I whined about 4-6 weeks.

Living here in NC we are blessed with no such BS. If you have a carry permit (good for 5 years) you just walk in buy your gun and walk out. If not 2-3 days is about normal for a handgun purchase permit. Haven't had to get one in over 10 years so that may be longer now.

My town is pretty much at 4 weeks.  Or at least it was in 2015.  I'll need to apply for the next P2Ps on Tuesday then.

Just hope a democrat doesn't win the election, Hillary or Sanders.  Then the waiting time will be years ,if you are allowed to get a gun at all....

While I am never a fan of the government not meeting their legal obligations related to processing time, I think it is awesome if the delays are truly due to a crazy increase in volume. The more people that join the ranks of legal firearms owners, the better for the Second Amendment.

And, I gotta hope that if the PDs in this state are flooded with applications, and they need to devote a ton of manpower to the review of those applications, they may push for a change in the system that takes them out of the process.

Lol, we take for granted how in some towns we are luck and only takes a few weeks, meanwhile elsewhere in the state it takes months.

Definitely an increase here in NC but time hasn't really mattered. 1st time I applied for my Carry permit it took exactly 6 weeks, 1st renew took 6 weeks, 2nd renewal just last year they say expect a little longer 8-10 weeks and it took exactly 6 weeks. From what I have heard P2P is still 2-3 days a week at the longest and if you have a carry permit you just walk in and walk out no waiting or checks.
Henderson County has seen an increase  of 153 percent rise over the last 4 years.
