NJ permits are good for 2 years. I'm due in June. You are only able to carry the handgun that you used in the initial qualification. The State required a second range qualification that had to be met by 12/23. Failure to do so would result in termination of license. I jumped through that hoop. My initial license cost me $300 between fees, qualifications, etc. Among other requirements, the renewal application fee is $200.
I rarely carry as most places in NJ are restricted. The primary reason I got my CCW was because it was my right. Pre Bruen, unless you were the Pope, CCW's were not issued to civilians since NJ was a "May Issue" State.
Well, they won. I'm not giving the State another penny for a right that is effectively restricted anyway. I can only hope that one day, this will change. Enjoy your freedoms and rights while you have them.

NJ, where sllngshots are firearms.

That’s lousy to hear. And I recall to renew your permit you had to go to court and appear before a Judge ?

Places like NJ remind me that things here aren't as bad as they could be. Sorry to hear that your rights are so restricted. We're on the same track here (CO), but much cheaper. New restrictions enacted this year, but I haven't got details yet. At least we're a "shall issue" state, so far.

I moved from CA to TN a year ago; chances of cc permit in CA was a flip of the coin depending on which county you lived in (think red or blue - and even then it takes a lot of time). TN is a refreshing change. Have met several former NJ folks here in TN; come down and join us.

Geez! Here in Virginia there is no range re-qualification requirement, no going before a judge, and the fee in the county in which I reside was just reduced from the state maximum of $50 down to $30 and it's a 5 year permit.

You didn’t mention that the clerk of court must issue your permit within 45 days of your application unless you are found to be disqualified. In Virginia, my honorable discharge from military service is sufficient to show training in firearms safety.

N.J. sounds awful plus a ridiculous fee on tip of it. Anything to discourage the law abiding.

NJ laws regarding firearms have "unintended consequences." When I lived there I carried "throwaways." No problems as long as you don't need to use it. The consequences getting caught are frightful but working in Newark as an "epidemiologist" for the NJ Dept of Health had greater consequences to consider. January will be 45 years since putting NJ in the rearview for sunny Florida.
PS, I would pay the $200 as it would help in a circumstance I related. Joe

Living in places like NJ is an interesting human behavioral study in how much bureaucratic abuse people will willingly take (and even fund) rather than move to a better place.

Pay the money and renew permit. Even the freest of states charge something for renewal.

How are all the drug dealing gang bangers paying for their carry permits in New Jersey?

I spent a week in Paterson on a job 10 years ago. I’m not sure I could pack enough artillery to feel truly “safe” there😳. Spooky..

I did a few side jobs for a business that was doing contract work there. I always felt like I was in a foreign land, and under a microscope.
One of the scariest cities in America.

They don't pay income tax, so they've got money, not that they bother with permits.

The outfit I worked for at the time booked us into a motel in NJ. The doors appeared to have be opened by force more times than by keys. We moved across the line to Delaware in the morning.

Most of the places that make it really difficult to carry guns are the kind of places you really need to carry one.

Good point .

That is so true!

The freest 29 states allow anyone who can legally posses a gun can to carry one without any permit what so ever. I pony up $25 (which goes directly to the DARE program) every 4 years to renew mine. I don't need one to carry concealed in this state or any of the joining states. But having it means I can walk into any gun store. pick out a gun, fill out the 4473, and the dealer doesn't need to make the phone call for a background check before he hands me the gun and out the door I go, no phone call.,

Thanks, I intend to do exactly that...I renewed mine online again a couple of years ago...It's good until 2027...I think it was 35 or 40 bucks to renew...I've had it for 28 years now, so I'll hang on to it even though Texas now has Constitutional carry...The license just gets me a few extra privileges in life...

We can always make room for you down here although you'll have to get used to our funny way of talkin'......Ben

I have family in NJ, so I feel your plight.

I was at my range here in SE PA a few days ago and I met a guy who actually has a NJ concealed carry license. I didn't realize they give those out now to ordinary people. He said there is a rather arduous process and he had 10 round magazines for his pistol. He said there's a 10 round limit, which is news to me. I had been acutely aware of their hollowpoint restrictions but I have heard even that has changed. I will occasionally carry into NJ under LEOSA and I always carry the revolver with solid bullets. It's hard to keep track of all the restrictions between NJ and NY.

Can't laugh too hard at N.J. though. Ma. just past new laws for semi auto shotgun and rifles. Includes 22s that accept a clip. Did grand-father at least as long as registered by August 1. Now License To Carry needed to possess and not just the F.I.D card which allowed people to buy low capacity rifles and shotguns. Heard the bad was coming but did not think semi shotguns or 22s would be thrown in.

Exactly why we’re relocating to WVa. Anyone who can legally own a gun can carry. Don’t even need to be a resident. I also have a CCP in FL for which I pay a fee every so many yrs…… my initial point was simply, there’s administrative cost everywhere. The fee in New Jersey would be the thing that bothers me the least.

Two policemen told me I didn't need a new weapons carry license any longer. Went last month and applied for a new one for the county I now live in. It's good til 2029. A letter from Probate Court accompanied the permit.
I've made copies to keep or carry with me when travelling. It listed another 32 states that honor my Weapons Permit. I can live with that.

Guess I should state this is in GA.

NJ cant restrict the bullet type under LEOSA they tried but lost it..LEOSA is clear on what bullets can be carried..

Steelslaver,
They don't...but they have "rights" you know!!!

I was one of the first post Bruen permittees in my NJ county. I carry many times during the week and renewed my permit recently.

I disagree that most of the state is off limits for CCW.
