G4H member here,. Great post. I just submitted my renewal for my CCW . Wasn't too bad. My first CCW was court granted. I wanted to add a gun, so I got a town issued CCW . 200 is bad but $ 400 is basivally a pole tax and will be challenged on its unconstitutionality Thanks again for the information!! See you at the range Stand strong
I'm an Army Veteran (infantryman ) from NYC & now living in NJ. Changing my driver's license to NJ tomorrow & will start on the process to get CCP. Wish me luck.
My police department requires me to requalify even though I did an initial qualification within the last 2 years. I was under the understanding that the law changed and when I did an initial qualification it was not from a holster and now the requirements changed. I understand its for safety and will requalify and must every 2 years. That's NJ.
With this extortion fee of $200, Murphy basically charges you $100 per year!! This has to be lowered to something reasonable. An example; PA, cost $25 for 5 years and none of this other BS!!
By the way,,Today the Majority of states had or recently voted back some form of permit less carry of firearms..My State went permit less concealed carry last July first..FL.
It's called make the license so cost prohibited that most people just give up because it's better to disarm every one except for the ones making the laws!
I have until November, but I’m on the fence since I can barely carry anywhere I go. I got my PA and Utah permits (both 5 years) and if I lived in any of the 33 states I can carry in, I wouldn’t hesitate. I don’t care amount the money, but the hassle of renewing and the limited places I can carry have me considering getting out of this lousy state.
DEPT of Justice needs to step in, No Right Requires a permit or a fee, What next we have to pay for freedom of speech? because you might hurt someone feelings? NYC is $430 if that not highway robbery what is. I'm really Disliking Politicians and their bully mob style ways.
NJ-2yrs, $200.00 Utah, Florida, Arizona- 5 yrs. $60.00. Plastic card with picture, not paper printed by person permitted. Need permit for every firearm also.
Maywood. And it took about 2 months. Still waiting on the final sign off from the chief but the officers in charge called me to congratulate me. We have a very 2nd amendment friendly police department. It only took two months becuase I have had multiple addresses in NY and AK within the past ten years and they had submitted mental health care checks which took up time.
I believe you meant to say the ORI# which is associated with your local or state PD. Your SBI# is associated with your FID card. Cheers for the video 🙏🏽🇺🇲🦅
Good video! Thanks for this. I'm up for renewal early 2025. What a PITA as NJ puts us through the wringer in an effort to discourage us. By way of comparison, my Florida CCW permit is good for 7 years.
NYC is like that now. Before you can't even carry, not sure about the new laws. Ridiculous fees in NJ, just like NYC. NY State is much easier, that is if you are outside the city. Moved to Philadelphia and paid $20 (good for 5 yrs) and approved in 2 days for a license to carry permit. Starting a 'real' gun collection now, and I can train for real. Not that target crap at 25 yards just to qualify, I'm talking about using the gun proficiency and safely. Go do some IDPA matches.
I have been taking some tactical courses at GunforHire in Woodland Park. Urban Pistol 1, Drawing from COncealment, etc. USPSA matches are on my radar, for sure!
@@JayCostaUSA One other note, buy a bunch of AR lower's before they make you have to register them. Even pistol caliber carbines lower's should be a good idea to stock up. They just past the law in Upstate NY that all AR style rifles must be registered. What that means is that is NJ might follow that same infringement to the 2A. Always good to stock up on magazines as well. Good to have those items grandfathered in...keep the receipts. IDPA is what Jeff Cooper originally wanted, ordinary guns and holsters, not these 10k race guns they are competing with today. You will need a back up gun just in case you get a catastrophic malfunction.
Currently all applications on the NJ Portal are initial applications because NJ does not have the judge issued permits in their database. Online renewals will start in two years for those that apply online and references won't be needed for those renewals. My judge issued permit doesn't expire until next year but I recently applied online for a new permit to beat the proposed price hike and to also get rid of the judge restrictions. Since it's an initial application and not a renewal I didn't need to wait 4 months before my permit's expiration date. My references were contacted by email and they replied to the questionnaire. Make sure your references are on board with you getting a permit and that they reply promptly. The actual cost for the permit is greater than $200 due to the background check and service fees that are charged. Here's the breakdown: $50.00 paid online plus $5.00 online service fee for the CCW application. $150.00 for my town's police department which I gave a check to plus $18.00 for the 212A background check plus $3.00 online service fee. So it's $76 paid online and $150 to my town's police for a total of $226.00.
@@JayCostaUSA Yes, the courts stopped issuing them in the first half of 2023. See Supplement to Directive #14-22, written April 3, 2023. (It concerns having courts approve amendments to existing permits.) Courts still hear appeals of PD-denied permits, though.
Sounds like there is a loophole for the first renewal for qualifications ? Can use the first qualification you took almoay 2 years ago , as long as submit renewal at within that 4 month prior period ?
So because totowa is taking so long to issue my permit 6+months. I’m going to have to retake training when I come up for renewal? That’s complete bullshit.
My local police chief (who, BTW is a great guy, as is the rest of my local police department) strongly suggested that even though you need to "qualify" with only one of the firearms you intend to CCW, it is strongly advisable that you qualify with each and every firearm you intend to carry for reasons of liability in the event there is a shooting and there is an allegation of negligence. For example, if you have 5 firearms that you rotate through your CCW routine, you may want to see if the organization that is serving to certify your qualification will discount your second or third CCW firearm. I also agree the processing fees if $200 or worse, $400 is being used as a deterrent and a money grab by the authorities. The fees and the processes for 5 year non-resident permits in states like Florida and Utah are a fraction of both the cost and the inconvenience (among which requalification is not required for Florida and Utah) of what New Jersey puts us through.
You made a misnumber in the beginning. The SBI # is your personal identification number when you get fingerprinted its assigned to you. The ORI # is the number of your local police department. You will need both when you full out your applications.
Can’t complain on permit waits in Woodbridge township. For my FID and two permits in two weeks. I applied for my CCW in April and got it in 7 days or so… Also the prices and wait times are long don’t let that discourage anyone wanting to carry. Also if anyone is interested I got a non resistent PA carry permit 20 dollars plus online service fee for 5 years and it’s ready the next day
Thanks for this video We appreciate you.. Smh 🤦🏻♀️ so next year Ill have to pay the higher fee great, since I obtained mines in 2023… I obtained my Non Resident Utah CCW its cheaper and it last 5 years which is mind blowing. The Utah Non Resident CCW is an actual idea card like your Drivers license not like NJ CCW or FID card that we have to print out on copy paper and laminated… crazy moons again NJ FID cards were 100% better.
@@mannyv.2769 sure as long as you have your CCW you can apply for the Utah Non Resident CCW you will have to so training and get fingerprints done for Utah and with this Non Resident CCW you can carry in 32 states I did my training in NJ with my CCW trainer bci.utah.gov/concealed-firearm/how-do-i-apply-for-a-concealed-firearm-permit/
@@mannyv.2769Utah non-resident is pretty easy to a 4 hour class, $64 application fee and it’s approved in about 60 days. You just need to make sure you’ve got a licensed Utah Concealed Firearms Instructor giving the class as they need to certify your application with their signature and a special stamp. I have the instructor license for Utah and do classes here in Ny. It’s a ton of fun because they don’t have all the gun hate in UT law. So we get to make fun of local state craziness.
@@mannyv.2769NYC is cool because you can carry throughout NYS where other counties get everything except NYC - but most NYS permits are only $50 for 3 years with the off one being Nassau at $200 for 3 years. NY does not offer a non-resident nor do you get any bonus state reciprocity like NJ gives you MN. I currently have NY, CT, PA, NH, ME, VA, FL, AZ and UT waiting on NJ and working on MD
Heres one for you.having the NJ permit qualifies you for a Pennsylvania permit. In Pennsylvania its handled by the county sheriff. I cannot find a county in Pennsylvania that is close to NJ that is non resident freindly. Perhaps you can figure out a way for us NJ folks to get our Pennsylvania permits? Just saying. I go into that state often its a shame i cant bring my gun with me.love to see a video on that
I know the NJ permit does not work In PA. To get a PA permit u must have a permit in your home state. So having a NJ permit I cannot find a county in PA that is non resident friendly. That is what I am asking you for
They can certainly ask what firearms and serial numbers you intend to carry but it is perfectly legal to just leave that blank or not tell them since you can carry any handgun that you legally own (once the permit is issued obv). Idk if the process has changed since it went online but I just left that part blank when I submitted my physical paperwork when I got mine. **for carry permits issued by town PDs. I believe if issued by a judge you are limited to what serial numbers they say you can carry.
Correct, but honestly they already have info on what serial numbers we own, so I would rather be safe than sorry God forbid I was facing a charge with a gun not on the list.
NJ here have a non resident Utah I’m just waiting in no hurry to get NJ .I work in Del so I’m not in NJ a lot and besides when I go to NC all the time my Utah is good
There is no “renewal” per say yet. Those of us with court issued permits will have to apply under the new system. Applying as an initial applicant as if you never had a PTC before. I know you know that, just clarifying for the people that don’t.
Great video. So even though u are applying online to the state police,the package some how finds its way to local police? ,also as far as references, those pages were originally downloaded and submitted to my local PD. Mine expires in Jan of 25 ,so I will try the beginning of Oct.thanks
Also you are luck as a retired Police Officer I have to qualify four times a year. Two day courses and two night course with at least 3 months separation between them. And I have to submit them to the state police each year. We also have to shoot from the 25 yard line. Not just the 15. Everything else is the same for renewals with forms.
A+ Video. In other words Jay NJ carriers expiring next summer should apply now for renewel instead of waiting next year prior to the 4 months expiration to avoid re-certification record again correct?
Also my understanding is that the judge said it’s not necessary to register the handguns you intend to carry similar to the way the law was changed from only being able to carry what you qualified with Correct me if I’m wrong
Non-Resident through NJSP Totowa. Btw officially the permits must be approved in 90 days with the ability to extend an extra 30 days on written notice.
Even though you are renewing, you are filing an "initial" application because this will be the first time you are filing online. They don't make that clear online.
@@JayCostaUSA I just renewed through the PD. My First was from a judge. The first took 63 days and the renewal took 22. They email you the permit and you print it.
You can qualify with any pistol. I qualified with a Taurus tx22 but I carry a Taurus g2c the whole point of qualification is to see if you can handle the weapon plus shoot they figure if you can do it with that pistol you can do it with any pistol makes sense
@@thesage90 it really doesn’t tho because shooting a 43x is much different than shooting a Glock 17. Most people can only carry what they qualify with as far as I know.
@@PrinceOfTheCity1 if you know the fundamentals it shouldn't be that difficult. like I said I passed with a 22 I carry a 9mm believe me or not I'm more accurate with my AR-15 that being said if you train /learn the basics the fundamentals you shouldn't have any problems shooting anything it doesn't matter what you learn with as long as you get the training in
Anyone on Long Island NY looking to apply for their PTC, I’m an NRA Instructor and do the training in Nassau and Suffolk County so you don’t need to take the drive out to NJ. Save the drive and the hassle of transporting your pistol into NJ.
Another prisoner of NJ for the time being How many months in advance do you recommend starting the renew our CCW Also, since requalification was required by the Stare Police later again in the process I was at least 6 Mos into my permit so it should be good 6 mos into my first so I don’t have to requalify for the first 6 mos or the entire 2 year period? Thanks ✌️
I’m from NJ, lived there for 40 years and never could exercise my 2A rights, uninfringed. I moved to TN 8!years ago and have numerous firearms and “high capacity magazines”. What a joke NJ is, is anyone suing the state to abolish all the bullshit needed to get a CCW? TN passed constitutional carry 3 years ago. I still took the CCW test to get my permit for reciprocity reasons. But I don’t see anyone fighting NJ’s bullshit requirements and/or sensitive places BS. Unreal how for 40 years you could not carry a gun in the state, how can 2A rights go denied for so long? Also, I paid 100 for a 8 year permit, for $300 I can get a lifetime permit, still BS tho
I'm in Rutherford. I just got mine in May 2024. Also, if I give you my email, would you be able to send me an updated list of places I can carry in NJ?
New Jersey and New York are crazy, Connecticut is blue state filled with gun control nuts and isn't that bad. I'm a Pennsylvania resident with a Connecticut non-resident permit, and it doesn't cost that much and gives me 6yrs and isn't complicated at all. As a matter of fact my Fla carry isn't that much, with my home state being the best at 20 bucks for 5yrs.
References *will* be contacted immediately upon application submission via email by the portal. They’ll have to complete a brief questionnaire online. If they don’t, the application will not be processed by the PD. Just before or after you submit the application, be sure to tell your references to expect the email questionnaire to prevent delays.
That's the reason I didn't apply for a ccw, expensive and they will keep raising the fee prices, I already pay $275 for my no local shooting range and paying $400 every 2 years is insane.
I am a retiree and I won't pay the GD extortion fee to the state. If you don't believe this is a backdoor way to keep the number of permits down or control who obtains one, you're nuts.
100%. You dont? NJ making permit fees this high affects lower income communities disproportionately, and usually those are the communities who need the protection the most.
Gun control started out a form of racism and still is! What he's saying is the POS governor and his POS attorney general put these "taxes" on applications to eliminate hardworking citizens who live paycheck to paycheck in this over taxed and expensive state we live in. Lower incomes in this state are black and brown people. Hence, your racism. If this theory doesn't work for you, you can Google where a government official actually comes out and says the state shouldn't want the people from certain cities getting permits to carry. Furthermore, I would NEVER pay $1000 for an application to carry a gun. I'd rather exercise my constitutional right to carry as a law-abiding citizen of the US and fight my battle in court first!
@@jetjock60 or, they know constitutional carry is on the way. 29 states now are permitless states, more than half. NJ's last ditch effort to get what they can before constitutional carry sweeps the nation.
