When I finally got my permit 8 months after applying (3 months PD, 5 months sitting in the court house) I applied for my PA carry license. I applied 10am I got the call at 3pm the same day that I was approved. I picked up the license the next day. NJ is so f'd up.

Thank you for the NJ insight, Jay.

great video and great info! Thanks for creating it!

This is very good info. Thank you !!

Thank you so much I start my journey next week.

Excellent Information! Thank you

just got my CCARE qualification finished at ironsights academy they were professional, honest people. no hidden fees. Applied friday for ccw.

Thank you so much, I watched your video about a month ago or so, your video and links provided made everything a lot easier, the Franklin Twship PD (Somerset)was great and the process was simple and quick ( considering this is NJ) , thanks again, keep the good work Pal.

Gun for hire is the best and very helpful

thanks a lot for this info

As a certified CCW Firearms Instructor certified by the New Jersey State Police, I feel inclined to let comment readers know that the application procedures for non-residents must be done in-person at the nearest non-toll road New Jersey State Police barracks closest to the out-of-state applicant's residence. Non-resident applicants MUST call the closest State Police barracks ahead of time and not just show up. None of the application documents can be submitted online.

I took the course and qualified at RTSP In Randolph. Submitted my app online through the state police (I live in a town in Sussex County where we dont have a police dept) on Feb 14th, and got my permit March 11th.

Thanks for the info. I’ll be going to RTSP in Union to qualify.

looking to carry thanks for the info!

Save your money, move to PA. You won’t be disappointed if you want to carry.

Also I had to update the email on one of my references. My PD was able to update it and send the questionnaire to my reference. That was almost 2 months ago so hopefully I'll hear back soon.

Just a bit more info on this subject matter---if you have a local Police department in the town you reside in, that is who you need to contact for your ORI number

When you draw form the holster do you have to use the holster you plan on carrying with or just from a owb holster?

Hey once all your references submitted all the feedback do I have to wait to get an email to go and pay the $150 ? Or I could just go to my local police department and pay it ?

Thanks for a great video. One question...do we really need to contact our local pd at the beginning of the process? If so how do we do that? I might be missing something but it appears to me that the entire process is done online and dies dot include a direct communication with the local pd. Can you kindly elaborate on this? Thank you.

Fill out application. Submit it. There you go.

Do you have to take the drawing from a holster class before taking the qualifying class? Or does the qualifying course count for that?

I received my NJ non resident PTC in March 2023 after 5 months waiting. It’s almost my time to start the renewal process in October. Do you know if out of state PTC holders need to get a FPID card now? Previously, I did not apply for the FPID card and still received my permit.

Governor Murphy wants to raise the fee to $400.00 dollars instead of the current fee of $200.00 !

Just received my out of state NJ carry license( what a convoluted process) so when it comes time for renewal, do I have to go through the entire process again including fingerprinting, references, including qualification course, and all of the forms or is the renewal process simplified?

Hi, I’m a PA resident with PA license to carry. I want to get my permit to carry in NJ but don’t have an FID card. Do I still have the get the FID card first? Then do all of this? Should I take the training course first and pass Then go to the police station to apply? And at what point in the process do I get my finger printing done? Thanks you

I payed for the application but where do i pay my 150 to the township? Do i wait for a reply from them or do i go in person and pay? Please lmk!

Does anybody know if the references have to be nj residents or can they be from other states?

Can you give me some information about where can i carry at

Why do you need to go to your ldp and let them youre applying before you begin the process? Do they give you something? Just asking for when I have the means to get my NJ PTC.

Do you have to take the use of force again when you renew your license?

That's wayyyyyy too much unconstitutional shit going on for me to move back there and deal with. I'll stay in Colorado where shit makes sense and your permit only takes $150 at the Sheriff's office and a $60 lecture through an instructor and boom wait 90 days and it's in the mail.

Im from bergen county and i have mine 2 months ago 3 months wait time.

I only see initial no renewal on website.

I'm takin class there 2morrow a.m.

how do you apply NON RESIDENT in NJ?

$$$: the fees in NJ are so ridiculous. You failed to mention. Why do the people have to spend $2500 (including handgun) in NJ when it cost $25 in PA + handgun cost. The fee is for 5 or more years. And no crazy hoop jumping!!!

10 shots each at 5,7,10 and 15 yards equals 40 shots. You said the test was 50 shots. What am I missing?

A lawsuit needs to be initiated. Its a burden for low-income

Hey where can i carry at

I only paid 69 dollars. It was an automated email payment.

It may be simple, but still $400 at the minimum. Complete joke

Or just move to PA

I live in Dallas, TX. We go in, show id, wait 15 min for the FREE background check. Purchase gun.

NJ is very complicated. I hate it

Did God draw up the Bill of Rights?

Rights are not God given

Step 1. Get the hell out of N.J. THE END..

Move out of the absolute worst state there is. It’s a marshland. Jersey blows

New Jersey is possibly the worst state ever

What a joke. Hope someone sues NJ for unconstitutional laws

Oh calm down Karen. Your sky deity didn't create guns and has nothing to do with them. It should be sorta difficult to carry a gun all over the place. Do we really want guns everywhere? Please.

How can a regular citizen get one? Because i see “justifiable need” only allows people like security guards or shopkeepers handling large volumes of cash are allowed to get a CCW. The only other exception is someone made a threat on your life that is backed by police reports and restraining order Doesnt seem so simple as this video makes it out to be
