Hi,

I am pleasantly surprised with the new on line FARS system. I applied on line exactly 3 weeks ago today and I just got the call my form PD 2 permits are ready for pickup. 3 weeks, not bad at all. I am in Robbinsville (Mercer Co).

I got to wonder if all these horror stories about 5, 6 month wait time is "fake news".

Far from fake news, it's gotten better, my longest was 3-1/2 months, down to 4 weeks last time.

No, they are not. Anyone applying through the NJSP, or an 'uncooperative' local PD, is experiencing delays measured in months.

In an unrelated aspect, in the city of Philadelphia those applying for LTCF (license to carry firearms) must make an appointment. And as of yesterday the earliest appointment available is in November.

Of 2021!

Ok, many I am just lucky to be in Robbinsville. The old system I got my permits in 10 days. Even today, when the detective call me to tell me they are ready, he apologized for taking so long, as if 3 weeks is too long.

perhaps after murphy’s minions see your post they’ll have a chat with Robbinsville…

11 days in Ridgewood. Two weeks last time. Beats the old system and 3 months in Clifton.
