I did 2 months before my 18th, making a footnote on the application stating that I will be of legal age by the time I pick it up. It was ready a week before and I picked it up the morning of my 18th b-day.
I went out that very evening and bought a new remington 870. That was 16 years ago so,I dont know how things have changed, but it doesn't hurt to try.

At the time ,we had one of the coolest chiefs this township probably ever had. He's long since passed on. It all boils down to if they want to break your balls or not, so it depends on the town.

It doesnt hurt to use an officer as one of your references either.
In my hometown when I applied a long time ago, local police officers were not allowed to be used as a personal reference. My application was returned to me when I used my old friend who was a local cop, and I had to put down a different reference.
Strange.

·never had a problem with any of my Ithacas. In the last few years the company has been up/down, they still make a good deer shotgun, or you can buy yourself a used Ithaca
The Springfield XD's are really nice guns. I don't know how much you've handled the XD's, but even the .45's have a different feel than the Glocks. I like them, but I don't have really large hands.
Caso's in Jersey City often has a large stock of different XD's (I believe that the JCPD is moving up to a .45 XD for their service weapon)

raycapp,
FYI- State law restricts selling or giving handguns to juveniles under 21, and other firearms to juveniles under 18, except for supervised loans of firearms or for limited lawful activities (such as hunting).
I dont think you can get a purchase permit for a pistol yet. But I would apply for the FID now and tell them your plan to have it after your 18th bday.
BTW, I grew up in Milltown and got my FID there when I hit 18 too.
Good luck...
