Buy a pistol while waiting for a permit?

Featured Replies

Hey everyone!

 

I found a great deal on a PX4, and I really want to jump on it. Problem is I don't have a pistol permit, and because I live in Old Bridge and haven't appliedin 2 years, which means I need to start the whole process again from scratch.

 

My question is will a FFL hold the firearm until my permit comes in? Or did my lack of preparation make me lose out on a great deal?

 

Thanks guys!! Any FFL recommendations would be appreciated!

It all depends on the FFL. Most will hold the gun if you pay up front.

Most will hold it, I've puchased twice while waiting. Was only asked that I pay for it in full so that the FFL it was purchased from wasn't out the money for a long period. Most times if bought on line it's already paid for so they are just holding it.

I live in old bridge too, I apply every year just so they don't make me go through the whole process again....

Saves a ton of time, it's worth the 20 bucks...

I would have, but I got my ID card when I was 18. Couldn't apply for a pistol permit until I was 21, so it just didn't work out. I just never did after I was 21 and now it's been a few years. But I'll keep it updated now.

I've purchased off GB without permits.  Just make arrangements with your FFL, they know the rigamarol we deal with in NJ.  Just be 100% sure you can get a permit.

Depends, I do it all the time. It's the only way to insure you get what you want before the permits expire.
