Rutgers1983 0 Posted March 29, 2013 Is it legal for my town to send my place of employment an employment verificaion form for handgun permits. I understand the 2 references, but this is the first time that they sent my work this form. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djg0770 481 Posted March 29, 2013 Are they permitted to verify employment? Yes Are they permitted to disclose the reason for the request? No - but they do anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJCK 5 Posted March 29, 2013 Are they permitted to disclose the reason for the request? No - but they do anyway. Not all of them. My local PD's form is sanitary as to specific purpose beyond verification. However, well aware this is more of the exception... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howard 538 Posted March 29, 2013 I assume that if anyone has multiple jobs there is no obligation to list all of them - they ask for employer, not employers. With that said if you are concerned with your boss or company having this information then why not just not list them. Instead, spend a few bucks and form an LLC or partnership and just list that as your employer. Problem solved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tunaman 552 Posted March 29, 2013 I put "N/A". Not applicable. They never questioned it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tommyfeds 2 Posted March 29, 2013 Howell did the same thing for me. The worst of it is, I work for a large pharmaceutical company and they simply addressed it to the company name and the address. No Attn to, no department nothing. Thankfully I know the people in the mail room, they had to open it and they gave it to me. My wife and I do have an LLC....... Hmmmmm...... I thought about that, too. Next time I'm gonna give that a shot. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brucin 923 Posted March 30, 2013 Same thing happened to me and my company a print media company based out of Bergen County "never received" the first form and then took 20 days to return the second form, after several calls and e-mails to higher ups in the company. I can't say if it was incompetence or anti 2a rights but neither are acceptable. I intend to apply for another p2p when I pick up my FID and first p2p. I will keep everyone informed how that goes.

ryan_j 0 Posted April 9, 2013 I spoke to the nice HR lady and told her exactly what it was for. They said, "no problem!" a few of my "colleagues" do carry and have NYC carry permits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
