Change Coming For NJ Handgun Permits

[Bucndoe]

E-Permits are coming that will replace the current paper handgun permits that are currently in use. They will be issued through the new FARS system. A hard date for implementation hasn't been released. Just an FYI

Great idea. Should be cheaper! 

[Grassmans]

Nothing is cheap in NJ !!

[thefirstndsecond]

You should not need any permit at all

 

But hey if you are happy

Permits should not be required. Then again, carry permits should be allowed in this crappy state but they're not.

You mean cheaper like buying hunting licenses on line?

Murphy wants to jack up the cost of permits and FPID astronomically. I'm not sure where that is right now.

Get them now before the increase!!!!!  Crazy how different states are.  My son, who now lives in Va turned in his NJ license and got his Va license on Aug 27.  He got his concealed carry permit in less than 4 weeks.

Any app for handguns made after Oct 2nd will be issued electronically not by going to pick it up at the PD is how I read it.

Yes, and he wants FID to expire every 4 years.  Has to be passed by assembly and senate and my guess is it will unless one or both houses flip to republican.   Anything he can do to make it harder for you to own firearms he will try and do.

Went into effect October 1st. Any application October 1st and on will be E-permits.

No, there is a massive delay due to sheer volume. In the month of August alone there were approximately 25,000 applications submitted statewide.

Im not too worried..there are no guns in the stores to buy anyway
