I have searched several websites as well as reddit/nj guns and kept ending up on the njnics site that shows the last update back on March 11th. Did something change or is there a long backlog? Thx! ---

Yeah that’s the right site, @Krdshrk , but if you actually look at the report details @NJpaperpopper is right, the last report date is 3/12 (for 3/11 checks). Not sure why it’s not updating currently. ---
