That's the one!!!
It brought a smile to my face and I pointed it out to my GF.
I knew I was in a different world than NJ when I saw that sign and shop...
Ct shops are nicely marked as well...
That's the one!!!
We have a similar problem in Illinois. ISP is required by law to issue FOID cards within 30 days. When they got busy they would just take as long as they felt like. Some reports of 3-4 months. no penalty for them failing to obey the law. By most accounts they are now mostly making the 30 days.Good luck, and I think its great you want to make a stink about it. It really is amazing that the law says one thing, and law enforcement disregards it at will.
Funny you should mention that... just such a bill passed the Assembly last session... will undoubtedly be approved by the Senate this coming session. Governor Corzine will be all too thrilled to sign it into law.Consider the effect if a Rendell-styled "one gun a month" law were passed. The effect will be three guns a year, max.

even my detective said by law it should take 30 days, and its actually the State (Trenton) that holds it for that long. Our department finishes our background check and processing within a week.
Sueing the department, or threatening to do so, will get you no where. Its all in the state. and I dont know what your options are there.
Our department is only a small part of the whole process.
Depends on who's considered the "licensing authority". If it's the municipality (which would be logical as it's the local PD and not the state troopers giving you the paperwork), they are the ones held to the 30 day limit, and regardless of any delay at the capitol, if they don't deny you in 30 days they must approve you. It's actually similar at the State level; their paperwork backup does not relieve them of the responsibility to obey their own laws, and if the PD doesn't hear from the State after 30 days from the date the paperwork reaches the capitol, you have your firearms license. Plain and simple.

Not true. Such languange exists for issuance of a permit to carry (HAH! Did he just say "permit to CARRY"?! In NJ?!? Pffffft... :banghead,and regardless of any delay at the capitol, if they don't deny you in 30 days they must approve you.

If the application is not approved by the chief police officer or the superintendent within 60 days of filing, it shall be deemed to have been approved, unless the applicant agrees to an extension of time in writing.
Then, after I did a lot of research into the demographics and political dynamics of NJ, I came to understand that to belief the NRA -could- save the people of NJ was entirely erroneous.
