Hopefully, within the next or two I should know. I'm crossing my fingers. Once I find out I'll probably be in contact with you again. Thanks for getting back to me!

That is a NICS denial, it happens. I might be able to help you but I would need to know the exact reason for the denial. Wow, that’s pretty good without an attorney.

I filed paperwork with my local police department and also had my fingerprints done. So I could get permits to purchase a handgun. To my surprise within 30 days I received my 3 permits. I then went to go and purchase one gun and found out I had to do paperwork. The store owner said he had to call and get an instant background check (NICS). Which struck me as weird since I have my permits to purchase handguns. Anyway, the store owner told me that they'll be calling back soon. Well, they didn't and I left and kept after the store owner. Only to find out that I have Now Been Denied......How can I have my permits and be denied at the same time? Thanks for listening. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Hi,

I've been trying to set up an appointment with my local police for 3 months. One guy does them and he never returns calls respond to emails etc... I don't know if this is b/c he is a gov't worker or they just try not to issue FID. I think you are better off having an illegal gun and saving your life with time served for illegal possession then to be dead with no gun. I heard that when you do the morphotrack it takes all consumer affairs customers first like doctors and nurses licences and FID is on the bottom of the list.

If you look at Siccardi, it is a completely bogus precedent in which the "evidence" that people shouldn't get carry permits is crap, to put it lightly. The police chiefs that were interviewed as "experts" would claim that they didn't know anyone who had used a firearm on the street for self defense, yet each had issued almost no permits, so it's not suprising that was the case. There was also the report(by Newton/Zimring) cited by the court that advocated for strict handgun bans and issuing carry permits only to security personnel. That report is been proven wrong by the 40 plus shall-issue states, which have seen dramatic drops in crime after going to shall-issue. There also was no Second Amendment claim in Siccardi, so it's relevance on that point alone is questionable. With intermediate or strict scrutiny required, NJ will have the burden of proving that the carry law is "narrowly tailored". It's not "narrowly tailored," it's set up specifically so that they can approve or deny whoever they want for whatever reason. I agree with Jef that the legislature may try some shenenigans if some of the laws get tossed but at some point the lawsuits will become tiresome and expensive and they can't be fought forever.

But here is my point, regardless of what the law says, it still has to be enforced. Look at what the police are doing with purchase permits. So, even if the law is changed, it does not mean that everyone will be walking around with carry permits. It will still be very tough and expensive for some or even most people to get because of the way the law is enforced.
