Interesting comment about a permit. In NJ do you have to apply for a permit and specify what type of gun you will buy prior to actually buying it?[/QUOTE]
You don't have to specify what type of pistol. However here in NJ (New Germany), you have to fill out the initial application, get finger printed if needed, pay all appropriate fees, then if your lucky you might get approved and get the call that your permits are in before 6-8 months after all checks are completed. Then when you do get them you can only purchase one pistol every thirty days, if you have multiple permits. You can apply for several permits at one time and once approved use for any caliber pistol as long as it's legal here in NJ. And if that process wasn't insult enough you get charged a NICS fee each time you purchase a pistol/long gun which again is another check after you have already been checked. I've been lucky in my area in which I have to use the state police, and usually get them around two months or so but I know many others who have to wait a long time. All depends if it's a local twp, county, or state PD up here and they are not all for gun rights.
