If YOU bother them, then yeah, it could be an issue. As an attorney, I often get fast results. So, I guess it depends on who is making the call.

That’s odd. I’m already concerned because there shouldn’t be such a lag time. However, I’m not sure that hiring me at this point would make much sense. Maybe you should call again since it has been 3 weeks? Of course, if it is another 3 weeks, you might want to get back in touch with me.

I have an application in for an FID and pistol permit. My wife an I applied with in 10 days of each other. She received her permit with in 6 weeks, I am in my 12th week. I followed up with the local PD and was told it was on the chiefs desk awaiting final verification. That was three weeks ago. At what point should I be concerned? I cant see any reason for being denied since my professional licenses require the same standards as a pistol permit. Would it be pointless to use your services?

I got my FID Dec 2010 with 1 handgun permit, law requires me to wait 31 days to re-apply for the 2nd permit which I have submitted Jan 18, 2011 and I still don’t have it… I have already paid for the 2nd gun that I can’t take home with me. NJ is so frustrating…

Grace, not to be a ‘bud-inski’ but why not speak with Jef Henninger, proprietor of this blog. It seems that you are concerned enough about the time and maybe could use a push from a professional to move it along; just in case your stuff “was lost!”

Policeman’s ball, indeed!!

I stated before here on 1/25/11 my town turned over apps for permits in 4-5 weeks–over the holidays! Proof….I seen the paperwork as it was shown to me by the Firearms Unit Officer. Today 1/29/11 I met him as a follow up and he informed me that he sent the reference check letters out and OOOPPSS..he neglected to put MY NAME on the letter; so he called them both as a follow up to ensure they were not confused, though they were expecting the contact from the PD anyway regarding the reference check. Both references were completed. Sometimes it just might be the town and its overall professionalism, from the Mayor on down. I’ll keep you informed on my turnaround for my 2 permits; hopefully in 4-5 weeks from now.

That’s NJ for you and this is just one of many cases that illustrate the point I have tried to make with this blog. In my opinion, you should be able to win on appeal if it is handled the right way.

Dont understand NJ. I applied for a firearm purchase permit in Hoboken. The local police department sent a letter to my boss, and wanted to know if there was any reason that I should not be allowed to purchase a firearm. I just wonder what my boss has to do with my outside the job purchases. I am in shock. I am now being told my application will be probably be denied because I pled guilty to 2 misdemeanors 17 years ago in Virginia. Which after 10 years Virginia Courts do not have a record of. Currently I have to carry permits for Florida and Virginia, and legally own a handgun, I purchased when I lived in VA after the above 2 charges.
