NJ NICS is about a week behind. Crazy!

That's not that bad.  At the end of December it was nearly two weeks.  I bought a Sig and had it sent to my NJ FFL.  Took nearly a week for my NICS to come back, so I was lucky.

Bought gun on Saturday and they called last night and said complete.   Also put in for pistol permits and my local PD called and said ready in less than a week.  State police background check was done in less than 12 hrs after pistol permits submitted.

Sounds about right. Website says they are working on Sunday's applications.

I wouldn't care right now if I had to wait a week for an NICs check.  It's Kimber not being able to tell me anything at all about the rifle I ordered back in August that is annoying me.  What's another week after it finally gets built? 

[Tuck]

I am a little nervous about having permits in hand and NO guns to buy!!

I put in for a pistol permit on 1/1 through my state police barracks.  My references completed their part that day and I got the confirmation emails immediately.  On 1/2 I got the confirmation that my Criminal History Check was completed.  Haven't received any further communication yet.  Is this normal with the new system?   I haven't done this in a couple years and it was all still actual paperwork the last time

You will receive an email when the online process has been completed.  You take that email to the FFL and they go online to complete the sales transaction.  I did this recently.  Was the first one in my town to go through it and the first online permit the FFL had to do.

However, when you go to purchase they have to do a NICS check on you, and that check will take another week.  Learned that the hard way too.  It takes up to 14 days in NJ to purchase a pistol.

I put in on 1 5 same thing state police check done in 12 hours but the police department still does their check.  So they are probly doing the 2nd  part

Thanks Tim. 

So what happens when I go to my FFL to order the pistol and say it takes longer than 90 days to come in.  Do I need to apply for an extension or does the date I order the gun count as the purchase date?   

Is there a faster way to do it nowadays?  A site to buy from that you like, etc?

You ALWAYS order the gun first and then go through the permit process.  Your FFL will hold onto it, and they are used to people waiting on permits.  You don't need a permit to order to buy online, only to take possession of it.

When I had to extend mine last year for second 90 days I just went to local PD and they signed off.  Not sure with new system now.

I usually just buy shit off the shelf, but that was back in the day when gun stores weren't barren wastelands.  I'm in the middle of a workout right now, so I'm going to text you in a sec
