So its time to start thinking about renewal. I originally qualified at shooters in tuckerton. The range is gone now, sold to sheriffs department. Anyone know where I can go to re-qualify in Ocean County?

Do you have a CCARE qualification? If so, when did you qualify with it? I believe the CCARE qualifications are good for 2 years from the date you qualified, so you may be able to use your prior CCARE qualification for your renewal.

Shooters wasn’t doing the standard qual when I went there in August of 2022. They were not very helpful when all the CCARE stuff landed either. I redid mine at Recoil a year ago and used to for my reapp back in September of this year.
I found them to be extremely helpful. They re-qualified people at no cost. Maybe you missed out before they moved?

I got some pushback when I called and asked. They were adamant that the qual from the former NJSP (Dave something?) was fine and they wouldn’t even give me some new paperwork saying it was substantially equivalent, or whatever the verbiage was. Maybe it was a timing thing.
If you time your renewal right, you can reuse your first training documents before they expire so the requal training is deferred to your second renewal.
I am up for renewal in March. Wondering how far ahead people are applying?
I applied 4 months ahead. Looks like my town is going to take every bit on the 90 days the law allows for. My father, in a different town, got his is about two weeks. Ridiculous the difference…
Yeah, it’s amazing that some towns are still pouting and trying to punish people by dragging their feet…
I stand corrected. Just got the email from my town that my permit is ready. Goodbye crappy old permitting regime!

Hey xtors,
We are both from the same township, and communicated on the old site regarding our PTCs. If I recall, you submitted your intial application a few weeks before me. I just submitted my renewal end of October. Would you be willing to let me know when you submitted yours so I know what to expect time-wise?
Thanks
Refresh my memory… were you bennj on the old site?
I submitted my renewal on 9/15 so that’s something like 72 days all in. Maybe could shave a couple days off because I initially forgot to pay.
The detective reminded me that they now have 90 days to process so it seems like they are honoring that.
Yes, this is bennj from the old site. Just had our first grandchild so thought I’d change it up. I understand that Michelle is no longer with them so I guess others are processing the applications. I know they have a new chief and they’re not understaffed. No reason to slow walk the applications. I completed everything by 10/28, current ptc expires early January. Good getting in touch again and Happy Thanksgiving!
I didn’t know that. I wonder what happened. When I applied for my FID way back in 2009 she was there and had been there for a while from what I’d heard. In fact, when I applied for my first CCW two years ago, she found something I missed on the application and probably saved me a lot of aggravation by catching it.
Sounds like you are on track and should be GTG by the time your current permit expires. So happy I can more or less carry anything now!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Does anyone know what form revision is good for the ccare.
I know when i submitted mine an updated form came out. Maybe 9/23 ?
