Obtaining a Firearms License in New Jersey
Legal Assistance With the New Jersey Gun License Application Process
Before you can exercise your right to bear arms in New Jersey, you must obtain a gun license. Although you might feel that you can do this on your own, the firearms licensing process in New Jersey is very confusing, and several reasons exist to hire a lawyer for help.
First, when applying for your gun license, you must complete various documents, including the Application for Firearms Purchaser Identification Card and the Consent for Mental Health Records Search forms. These must be prepared correctly; otherwise, your application may be delayed or denied. An attorney can ensure that everything in your application packet is in order.
Second, you must go through a background check. Firearms applications are often denied for minor things that happened long ago. When you have a lawyer guiding you through the process, they can review your history and address any potential red flags.
Third, you must wait for a response. New Jersey law says that the agency must let you know within 30 days whether your gun license application was approved or denied. However, they are often delayed for no reason and without recourse. A lawyer can stay on top of your application to facilitate a smooth process in compliance with the law. They can also submit an appeal if your application is denied.

"I highly highly recommend his services"I couldn’t recommend Michael and his team enough! I reached out to the office and left a voicemail, within 24hrs Michael and his team scheduled a call with me. Michael took the time to learn about my case but also me as a client. He has a great background, is extremely knowledgeable, and personable. As a result of his thorough work, I got a positive result on my case, I highly highly recommend his services.- T Le (TEA)

"I cannot recommend them highly enough."
I am beyond grateful to Roberts and Teeter LLC for what they achieved on my behalf. My DUI from 15 years ago—stemming from a breath test that was later found unreliable due to the mis-calibration scandal known as State v. Cassidy—was reduced to a reckless driving charge. This case uncovered that the Alcotest device used in many DUI convictions was improperly calibrated, undermining the scientific reliability of those results .
For years, I carried the weight—and the embarrassment—of having to disclose a DUI on job applications. Thanks to the law firm’s exceptional skill and efficiency, that burden has been lifted in just two court appearances. Roberts and Teeter LLC restored my peace of mind and reputation, opening the door to a brighter future. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

"Thank you!"Any gun enthusiast in NJ would likely know that we have some of the strictest gun laws in the Country. Due to some indiscretion and unfortunate events in my younger days, my 2nd Amendment rights were jeopardized. I hired other attorneys that were difficult to communicate with, all talk no action, and unsuccessful in getting my rights restored. A friend recommended Roberts & Teeter and I couldn't be happier with their representation and results. Both Michael Roberts and Matthew Teeter worked on my case. They are extremely knowledgeable about the law and were always able to explain complex matters to me in a way that I could understand. They were always very professional, ethical, caring, and readily available to quickly respond to my questions and concerns. Most importantly, they were successful in helping me obtain my FPID card and purchase permit when I had almost given up hope.
Thank you!- J C -
