    We should hear from the Judge in the NY case before Sept 1. He could issue an injunction stopping the entire NY law or find parts of it unconstitutional.

    We shall see

    They called my Wife and I trying to cancel our FID Applications, saying we didn't need them.

    I told them they won't cancel. I know why they want to cancel (new laws and training requirements), but I won't fold.

    They told me about our PTC's since they were in the system discussing what I applied for.

    Had they not called I wouldn't have the snail mail info.

    Did someone mention that NJ was going to sometime in the future have an online application process for a permit to carry?

    Yes. It’s called FARS, and is currently used for retired police (RPO) permits as well as permit to purchase and FID.

    Anyone get a permit yet? My money order was submitted 7/12 still un cashed.
    Lots of people have received permits but everything varies depending on the town and how courts/judges are handling things. Some are getting completely unrestricted permits, some have restrictions listing only the weapons they qualified with, and some have absurd restrictions saying they are prohibited from carrying in any vehicle. The vehicle restriction thing has happened in ocean county if I remember correctly.

    It's rather crazy.

    That doesn’t make much sense other than to try to basically nullify the permit.

    Total time from Application Submission to Court Hearing will be under 90 days. If they grant the Permit at the Hearing, we will leave the courthouse with our NJ Carry Permits.

    Let's see if they add restrictions...

    Good work. Once you plow the first furrow I will follow shortly thereafter. I travel to NJ enough for work to make it worth my while.

    Geez....You have to go to a "hearing" to pickup your permit? What happens if that date doesn't work for the applicant?
