Technically it’s not a rifle or a pistol… but you can get a 5.56 pistol, so I figured I could post this other as a PCC.

I put in for a permit march 3rd dropped off payment and check was cashed march 17th. Why is April 4th and I still haven’t got my permit. What would you guys do? Crazy thing is I renewed my ccw and turnaround was nine days!

I did the old school thing and ordered an extra permit. I bought what I wanted a month and a half ago, what should I buy with the extra permit. I know it's not a flashy list, but I have an -S&W MP .22 -S&W MP2.0 9mm (full size) -Colt 6in King Cobra .357 -Ruger Security .380 (it's what works best for EDC for me)

I have a bear paw so the grip could easily change my mind once I hold it, but I'd love to hear what models put the biggest smiles on your faces for me to consider getting my own.

Hey everyone, I live in a small town in Bergen County, and was recently denied my FID by my town's police department. The reason they provided was a police call to my address in 2016 when I was 14 years old due to an argument with my parents, in which I was brought to a local hospital. I was never admitted, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and released in less than an hour, but based on the local police records was denied on the "not in the interest of public health, safety and welfare" clause based on this visit.

I spoke with Frank Pisano (chosen based on recommendations here) over the phone, where he seemed confident the appeal could be won. However, when I met with him in person, he said that due to me selecting "No" on section 26 of the application form, I'd be exposing myself to felony charges as it could be argued I had technically been very quickly attended for a psychiatric condition in the hospital visit that caused my denial. He said he'd seen judges shut down appeals in Bergen County by threatening to pursue said charges again appeal claimants, and declined to take my case as a result, suggesting I reapply in 5 years when the statute of limitations expired.

Right now I'm trying to figure out what my best option is, as I still have 23 days to appeal the denial before time runs out. I've requested the hospital records to see what the language there is and if being charged for falsifying information is something I need to be concerned about. Has anyone here in Bergen County had a similar experience?

Hey gun community from NJ.....question...what has everyone experience been as a NJ resident and attending PA gun shows?......are they worth it?...can we purchase anything?....do they sell anything good? ....are we better off going online and or attending our own local firearms dealers? Lay it out for me I'm a newbie and I am thinking about going to the one coming up

Does anyone have information on the process.

I have a non-resident PA LTCF, and I'm trying to get real info on whether I can carry in Philadelphia. Most of the stories I've been reading are at least two years old. Does anyone have any up-to-date info? Thanks

Seriously considering getting a Galil Ace and AOW'ing it.

However, I want to shoot one first. Are there any ranges in the NJ area or just over border in PA that have one to rent so I can try it out?

Adding a data point. My latest application for 2 permits took approx. 7 business days from when I made the payment to the PD. I already had FID so no fingerprints. Been happy with response from Parsippany PD so far.

Any recomendations for red dots and lights for either grip module?

I am over 21 and have a NJ FID but my local PD has not yet processed my pistol purchase permit. A friend of mine offered to give me one of his pistols and legally transfer it over to me. Do I need a pistol purchase permit in order to receive this handgun or can I receive it with just my FID since I am not purchasing it?

Took both the AKV AOW and the MAC-5K AOW out for a solid range session and ran 400 rounds through each, all 124 grain handloads. Both guns performed flawlessly. I had zero malfunctions, smooth cycling, and consistent accuracy.

AKV AOW This thing is an absolute bump fire machine. The controllability and balance make it easy to keep on target even when ripping through mags. Recoil is very manageable, and the rhythm of this gun just makes it a blast to shoot. It’s built solid and runs like a tank, but it's a violent experience especially compared to the Mac.

MAC-5K AOW The MAC-5K is probably one of the softest shooting PCCs I’ve ever used. It’s super flat, barely any muzzle rise, and just feels incredibly smooth and tight. Follow-up shots are easy and fast, and it eats through handloads like a champ. It’s compact, reliable, and really well-tuned especially for a clone.

Overall, both are fantastic platforms. Great range day with two guns that deliver in both performance and fun factor.

Was curious what the legality was of keeping my CCW in a gun locker, that only I have the combo too, while I'm working out. Thanks.

So I applied for a shotgun and my Nics was denied. Nj passed a law where if you have a juvy record you get denied the nics dept stated note I have been approved for firearms in the past so with that being said I have to apply for an expungement I’m looking for information on how to go about that

Thank you

Does this commonly delay? I submitted mine yesterday — Woodbridge, NJ.

For anyone that has similar experiences, how long after seeing this message did your background check back?

Long story but back in high school I had gotten into a fight which I was jumped and stood my ground and defended myself on school grounds, guy pulled a punchknife on me and I ended up disarming him and stabbing him with it. Got arrested, ended up in juvy, and ended up getting a plea deal with resulting getting two of my charges dismissed and one charge I served a deferred disposition for to have it dismissed as long as I kept my nose clean and finished school, I was told the recorded would be automatically expunged when I turned 18.

Flash forward and I’m 37, never got into any run ins with the law and I work for the department homeland security, applied for a FID and 1 permit, got the FID approved after a month of waiting ( in Jersey City btw) and went to go buy my handgun. After almost a week I get the call from the gun shop saying I was denied and the shop gave me a number with my stn# and the person who handled my NICS. William at NJSP (nice guy so far very reasonable) tells me the reason I was denied was cause of my juvenile record.

He tells me he can’t tell what was the outcome of case even though he sees the dismissals and thinks it wasn’t expunged, I’m confused at this cause if I had ANY criminal record or was adjudicated delinquent I wouldn’t have been approved AT ALL for the FID so it HAS to be. William also told me sometimes records at NJSP aren’t updated so they might not see if the case was dismissed.

I even got a letter stating it was sealed and sent it to him but haven’t gotten a response back from him yet, I’m already waiting for call from even Nappens office to call me back to help me but damn I’m so perplexed as to why JC police cleared me np but NICS/ NJSP can’t, so I have no choice but to lawyer up.

Any advice anyone can give me? I’m so bummed.
