I moved to new jersey after 40 years in brooklyn and have just applied for my pistol license. Here is what i have found out so far about the process. They give you the application at the local pd it is 2 pages long. Nothing needs to be notarized. You fill it out right there and give it back to them. One page is the application and the other is the page you sign giving them permission to do a mental health check.They then give you a form for fingerprinting which is $60. After your prints come back and your 2 references send back their letters they will then call you to come pick up your license and pay the licensing fee of $5 yes thats five dollars as opposed to $340 and $94 dollars for NYC licensing ans fingerprinting. You do not need a separate license for rifles and pistols in NJ it is one license. If you want to purchase a handgun then you pay $5 and fill out a form (the same one i filled out for the application you just check a different box) and let them know how many purchase orders you want. From what i gathered the whole process should only take a few weeks. I was surprised how easy it was. I know the laws suck there to probably just as bad or worse than NY but what a pleasant experience.

Do the Hornady Critical Defense rounds count as hollow points?CaptainMitchell said:No hollow points for you.
I'd figure the LAST place a NY bred gun owner would wanna move to would be Jersey. You must really hate pumping your own gas. Good luck dealing with those Troopers and that Turnpike and those stupid left hand turns.

Jersey... ohhhh boy.
Suspicious gas pumpers that disappear with your credit card.
Annoying U turns that take you elsewhere than the opposite direction.
The Blue Law. What? No shopping on Sundays!!
The exorbitant price of auto insurance! (Well, it figures once you drive there).
The effervescent odor of factories during your morning run.
The latest Navigation Systems tell me, "Where the f*c* am I?"
The list can go on...
Wishing you the best in your new hole... err I mean home!
Peace,
