Ex girlfriend/spouse required as reference

[gunguy1960 2]

What would be the outcome if the state required you to include an ex in your references, if you had one in the past ten years?

[glockncolts 50]

I would use my buddies name... No shame in that.....

[RUTGERS95 890]

amen....use your friends' name

 

I don't think the state can do this however

Ex wife or ex girlfriend?  If you are divorced there is nothing stopping them now from contacting your ex wife.  What would be the outcome?  Maybe nothing, unless you divorced on bad terms and she held a grudge, then she could say what she wanted, probbaly would cause more of a hassel for you but not the end of the world.

To the best of my recollection I cannot recall her name

Because she is an ex, I don't keep tabs on her, don't know where she lives, or what her phone number is...

I thought the preferred liberal term was "Independent Recollection"...(from the Clinton days)

My ex wife is one big pain in the back over all. 

In the past she has done some really crappy stuff to me. 

Divorced a decade ago, but have a kid, so we have to deal with each other. 

2-3 times a year she finds a reason and a way to ruin few weeks for me. 

However, during peaceful periods she occasionally begs me to take her shooting...

Tell them your gay and give him your friends name

Is any PD actually requiring this?  I've heard of things like it (i.e. contacting the employer, residential neighbors, etc.), but that just seems way too excessive. As long as there's no recorded history of domestic violence violations, an ex's input into the decision should be "absolute zero."  No one except the two references listed, LE agencies, and the county adjustor's office (for mental health records), should be contacted. Anything beyond that is, AFAIC, an invasion of privacy. IANAL, but I would think that any denial based on those excessive interviews and/or refusal to provide sources of contact. might result in a reasonable "cause of action" against the PD.

That would be my reaction, I would introduce them to the burliest biggest meanest dude I know. I call him Alice.

My ex was lost in the same boating accident as the rest of my guns.

Dated my "ex" for 9yrs. Been broken up for 5. Still keep in touch. Some drama here and there but civil overall. In fact she is my reference on all my P2P forms, and I just started shooting this year. Damn I miss her.

Damn I miss her.

Are you using a scope?

I know a good place. Bring disposable booties and a shovel.

Why not? Worked for Robert Wagner with Natalie Wood.

I'm curious about what prompted the question. It seems to be a completely random thing to do. It would be like asking my boss from 3 jobs ago - irrelevant.

It seems the more relevant requirement would be to use your spouse as a reference if you are married rather than an ex.

I wouldn't have a clue where to find my last ex from 8+ years ago.
