Hi guys. I'm new here. In any case, I went to the state police barracks in Augusta, NJ in sussex county

2/26 gave sergeant my application
2/27 fingerprinting done
3/7 sergeant submitted my paperwork (Trenton?)
3/25 check cashed

Sergeant said I'd have my fid within 2-3 weeks from once the check gets cashed. It's been almost 8.....

What is going on????

 

[BruinupaCup]

6 months if not more. Mine took almost 7. By the time I got my pistol permits they were already 30 days in.

The user Gundog on here posted: "applied on 1/16/15, permits issued on 2/18/15"

 

[BruinupaCup]

He must have been lucky because I waited forever. Maybe they caught up since last summer.

If they have an online background check it takes less than three weeks. With the new gun polls showing in our favor all this stuff could possibly end

Took me 6 months. May-November

 

[P99]

Wtf??? This is ridiculous

 

[P99]

I'm gonna call later on today and see if the sergeant knows anything. If not, I'll ask who I can contact for a legitimate status

 

[Shaky Jake]

Most guys I know waited 6 months or longer.

This whole wait time is still happening? Damn I feel sorry for people that live in these townships that take super long for your FID. Took me 5 weeks from the day I handed in my papers to the day I received the letter in the mail. That was in Woodbridge too. But then again I did mine before the whole Newtown CT shootings so I'd like to think that has something to do with it all.

My wait time from Augusta was 4 months, the SGT that runs the FID program is a good dude, big hunter/outdoorsman. After he does what he does at the local level and the packet gets turned into Trenton is I think where the disconnect is

Not Augusta, but Hamilton NJSP for me has averaged around 6 months. I hear it has gotten better recently but I haven't seen it first hand.

Yea he seems nice and everything and I know it's out of his hands but when he said 2-3 weeks after they cash my check that I'd have the fid it makes me wonder. how that one guy got his in just over a month is weird. And I didn't apply that much later than him

 

[Gundog]

Just got my last two permits extended, took about two weeks to get them back.

 

[alecsZ7]

My one buddy has been waiting since December.

Gundog, didn't you get yours in like 1 month?

 

[Gundog]

Gundog, didn't you get yours in like 1 month?

Just a little over 1 month, yes. 90 days was up, brought them back to be extended for 90 more days. Good bunch of guys in Augusta.

Oh ok I thought that was your initial fid and permit you got that quickly.

I filed for my initial fid and handgun permit 2/26. Idk, we'll see how long it takes.

I got my FID in '07, I seem to recall that it took a while longer.

 

[P99]

I don't see why the hell it takes this long
