Just a heads up for everyone. NJSP is now instructing Police Departments to mail a letter to your employer indicating that you are applying for a FPID and to confirm employment. They have specifically stated that your local Police Department is not to be discrete in these letters, and should specifically state the reason for the employment confirmation.

 

This info is FYI, and I will not tell you to write anything other than your actual employer on line 12.

Where'd you get that info from?

NJSP.

If it's not in writing, it doesn't exist. Please attach a PDF of these instructions from NJSP for confirmation.

Howell has been doing this for a few months already

If a Detective who is handling Firearm Apps has a question about employment confirmation, they will call NJSP and get an answer. The post I made will be the NJSP's answer, and will be exactly what that Detective does from the point of the phone call forward.

 

This is simply an FYI for those who may have less firearm-friendly employers.

It has been going on for awhile now, Tony, but I couldn't find any threads specifying NJSP's recommendation to local PD's. I wanted to just make the forum aware.

That makes great sense. They can call me and I'll verify my employment with myself.

I wish that NJSPs answer was in writing and wikileaks somehow gets a hold of that document.

this doesn't bother me any more than the FPID process in the first place. The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach. I felt nauseated having to turn in the paper work. I did manage to laugh slightly at the stupidity of the whole thing when my fiancee and I went to get finger printed and we both used an ID with our finger prints already on it to prove who we were to get finger printed But, that might have just been a laugh, so I wouldn't cry. I rather lose a job than work for scum that would fire someone for owning firearms. This state is terrible.

What does owning guns have to do with employment????? An un-employed person doesnt have the right to buy a firearm????? what purpose does it serve?

Unemployed persons are permitted to own firearms, and those who are unemployed will obviously not have an employment confirmation letter sent out.

I think I may have to call my PD. I filled out my change of address when I was working for my previous employer. I would hate to run into some legal issues due to this......

 

Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, Franklin told me they were waiting for employee verification. Why that matters is beyond me. What a crock of crap this commie state is.

So.... do you really have to have a job to get/buy a gun? I mean what if you put unemployed, or N/A or undisclosed.

For employer put "Classified" B)

What knowledge do they gain by this? I dont really give to craps.... I am self employed. But what purpose does the state gain from this? It is a crock of crap!

the entire process is a crock of crap.

Well, I am REE-TIRED so there is nobody to contact?

I will put "NONE OF YOU F'N BUSINESS! BUT IF YOU MUST KNOW...." THEN ANSWER THE QUESTION

Are they doing this for change of address also? I work for the US Army. I can't even imagine them trying to call someone there.

I always put on my application that I am self employed. Never had a problem with it.

Mount Olive Police Department has been doing it for years. My boss has to fill the form.

So whats someone that works for ceasefire or handgun control inc do?

 

Clearly this is a move to furthur inflict pain on the law abiding citizen for their choice to own firearms. I will not answer that question. It is invasive.

Im self employed. My verification number is my cell phone.

On my permits where it states 'occupation' the box says 'self'

LOL
