Yes,  they really don't want you to have a gun so they will get to it when they want to.  Welcome to the PRNJ!

online application 3/18
1st ref 3/18
2nd ref 3/18

No other email from NJSP  since.

Update:

Picked up permits from local PD on friday 4/24
Interesting side note - these are not the usual 90 day permits-  they are good for 180 days as marked off and signed by the chief of police. All three are good for 180 days, strange but not complaining.

I applied on 3/15 for 2 permits. 3/16 got the conformation it was submitted. 3/16 got another email confirming 1st Reference Questionnaire submitted. Then nothing till the 31st stating Reference Questionnaire has not been received by my 2nd reference. I checked with my buddy and he said he submitted it and received a response successful but would do it again. Same day got a email saying they got the 2nd questionnaire. Today I got the  Criminal History Check completed email. So now I wait for the next round? It's OK I guess since the handguns I want are sold out. 

Just got the email that they have mailed me my permit. Is that something new since the shutdown?

Interesting since you are supposed to sign them in front of the issuing party.

Thats what I thought. Maybe I'll get "sign this and have it notarized and return". We'll see I guess.

Emailed local police on 3/23 - They asked for a copy of my lease and other things. Sent over same day. 

Identgo (finger printed) on 3/25.

Criminal history check completed on 3/28.

Emailed local police on 4/2 - They said they were waiting on a check from a previous town i lived in (next town over from me) and i needed to submit a mental health check (if i didn't call, i would never of known) - sent everything over that same day.

Tomorrow will be 30 days (4/20) and i haven't heard anything since 4/2.

 

I'm going to call on Tuesday and see what the excuse is. 

As of today, 4/28. Exactly 30 days from when my BG check was completed by the state. I just received a call that my permits where done and ready to be picked up!.

Awesome!  Congratulation...

 It’s been 30 days and I haven’t even received back ground check clearance. A Week back I emailed CIU and they replied that we have no clue how to track your application! 

I believe Murphy closed the system only a couple of days after I submitted my application on 3/20. I was waiting on my town to finish their part. Which apparently, took exactly 30 days :/

Just received back ground clear email... let’s see how long they take before permit get ready! 

I submitted mine at my local pd on 3/17. With all the crap going on I totally forget about it. So did one of my references. Lol got an email from pd on 4/17 saying they didn't get one of reference questionnaire. Called the idiot. He did it. Background came back quickly.  Went to pd and paid my $6 for permits. Now it's a waiting game.  They have an officer handling all the permits because all administration staff are not working there.  Nice guy. He asked that I be patient.  Lol. 

We'll see...

The officer was honest about it. I could see into the back of the station and every administration desk was empty. Not even a dispatcher. I'm assuming the officers take turns answering the phone.

I'm in no rush, but I've been waiting since my application on 3/12.

All NJ HG permits are good for 90 days, you may (Chief LEO's discretion) get them extended another 90 days.  About a week before expiration, if you still have a permit call the PD.  They will tell you what to do.  All it really takes is the PD to cross out old date, put in new date and initial change.  Some will extend before the expiration date, some a few days after, others not at all.  

Got this in the mail today..

ANY application through the state police takes months... on a good day... 

The new system may help with that, but that has yet to be seen.

 

Regular municipal PD's have been know to turn permits around in 2 weeks to 6 months,.
