a&w restaurant: I live in NJ. I have filled out the paperwork and tomorrow morning I am bringing it to the police station where I will be fingerprinted.

Also, will I get my permit tomorrow or will it come in the mail?|||5 minutes to 30days,and no not tomorrow i checked,you are a little too eager,they will now test your paitaince|||Covers every state|||You must really want a gun.
