Howell Twp took 28 days with 2 PP. Oct 08. I applied for 2 more PP in Jan and took 18 days.

Howell is a very Gun friendly town. The last few times I put in for permits it was 14 days.

My FID took 8-weeks what a RIP...reason being is my wife's took 3-weeks and the I think the police chief was making a pass at her! :evil:

 

Anyway I am new to this forum and now I will fight "tooth and nail" for my CCW....nothing is impossible! (even though this seems to be).

let me offer you some useful advice.. take ALL that energy you plan to exert getting YOUR ccw and redirect it towards changing the ccw laws... you have a better chance of success..

107 days and still counting! LOL! On a lighter note I spoke with the Detective in town that handles all FID and PP and he did say he has over 200 applications on his desk but he hopes to blow through them in a week or so. I am not gunna hold my breath but I am being patient. :D

I live in Bayville which is part of Berkeley Twp. which is, like most NJ towns, growing leaps and bounds. 41.9 sq. miles and a population of almost 40,000 back in 2000.

PP'S exceeding 8 weeks now... :evil: Same excuse as 2 wks ago - they're on the Sergeant's desk.

 

Anybody want to do a class action lawsuit?? :roll:

Just keep calling them once a day and be polite when you do. They will get annoyed with the daily calls and push it through. Crazy isn't it? Seems like anything in NJ is almost impossible...

They will get annoyed with the daily calls and push it through

 

If you seriously think that will help you're craqzy. That WILL piss them off but it won't spend them up.

No township police so paperwork went to state police, i'm a foreign national living in the USA , it took just over six month's to get approved.

Just a progress report. Applied 5/12/09. Today 6/9/09 called for progress update. All paperwork is completed, my prints came back, now the detective does the "real" investigation - any criminal record, auto violations, etc. Detective will call or contact my references. The records department person I spoke with was nice and answered all my questions. She says generally it takes a total of 2-3 months (entire process).

 

She did say that he has a lot of these to go through, but they try to push ahead the applications where the references are responsive.

 

I'll guess I am now 1/3 through, we'll see.

My dear wife went by the PD today to inquire of my PP's (of her own accord) and found that they were done. Submitted 4/6/09, issue date on PP's 6/5/09. After I picked them up tonight, somebody got roses - she deserved them!

Congrats! 65 days wasnt too too bad...Im on 121days today and still no call. When I called yesterday to mark my 4th month the woman was very nice and said she had a brand new stack of permits that the detective had just given her.....after 15minutes on hold mine were not in that stack.

 

-Scott :?

Where's the resident lawyer? I'd be happy to chip in a few bucks a month for a lawyer to make calls to the local PD threatening them with a suit for violation(s) of state law(s)...

 

Just heard that a guy in Fair Lawn got his PP's in 2 days.

I didn't have local pd, mine was the State Police,i called them after 5 months and was told"we know nothing and when we do know something we will call you" there is nobody else you can call.

After six month's i got it.

Update.....tomorrow will make 19 weeks and all my twp. will say is that my permits are waiting for the chief to sign off on them. Been in this stage for the last two weeks, very depressing.
