Greetings fellow Comrade. Those in the free world can not sympathize with our plight. They do not understand the harsh and unending winter of our discontent. But soon, Comrade Gore will help them to understand. Sorry, just watched Russian Guns on the History Channel, and couldn't help myself.
NJS 2C58-3(f) states that the application should be approved or denied within 30 days of the date of receipt. BUT, recent court rulings state that the "safety of the people" out weights your or my right of having our permits processed in the time allocated by the law. In other words, "they can take as long as they damn well please", and there ain't squat that you can do about it!
Your local PD doesn't require a set of prints for each permit do they? The law states that they only have to print you once, but what the hay, this is New Jersey - when has the law ever applied to those in power?
I live in one of those "good" NJ towns. Permits here usually take 2 weeks, instead of the 3 to 4 month horror stories I hear about, but the last time I applied, they took exactly 30 days (the limit of the law). Guess I've been buying too many guns
If it's any consolation, "I feel your pain". The bad new is, that if we don't all band together come November, next January, our fellow gun owners may also "feel our pain".
This is just one of those things that you have to wait out.
Good luck anyway,
David
Oh, and one little addition for all those waiting for the Republicans to save us. New Jersey has had a Republican Governor, Republican run House, and Republican run Senate, for close to seven years now. Even though Whitman's ‘93 campaign promised an overturn of the Florio Assault Weapon Band, once elected, she not only refused the overturn, but has systematically eroded our rights even further. Last year, she was the first Governor in this nation to ask the Assembly to provide her with a "Smart Gun" bill to sign into law. The Republican run Senate immediately obliged. The House has yet to vote on it. Sorry to break it to you folks, but The Republicans are NOT OUR FRIENDS!
