Q: do certain counties in nj add-on to the state law certain police departments do yes. by law handgun purchase permits must be approved in 30 days 45 days for non-resident unless a specific reason exists for their denial. however when that was challenged in court the court ruled that the need to ensure the person was not prohibited was more important than meeting the statutory timeframe and basically said the investigating dept. could take as long as they needed to verify a persons eligibility. the court was specifically referring to the time it took to get fingerprint checks back from the fbi but of course their ruling got interpreted much broader than that. my first set of permits along with an fid card took about 110 days excuse used was prints not back from fbi yet. my second set of permits took about 60 days excuse here was county mental health check not completed yet insert your own comments here. the clocks running on this current set... well see how long it takes this time around. boy - cant wait for the one handgun a month law to get passed here its coming like a freight train... i can almost guarantee that well then be restricted to applying for one purchase permit at a time - which will effectively turn it into a one handgun a quarter law. because as we all know.... the criminals who are commiting all these homicides with handguns apply at their local pd to purchase them from a licensed dealer. and the fact that every handgun purchased that way is registered with both the local pd and the state as to make/model/caliber/serial # - and every private person-to-person transfer is subsequently recorded in the exact same manner... making it impossible need a roll-eyes emoticon here to trace a recovered handgun to its last known owner.... but hey... its all for the children. .
