I worked for a company as a contractor for 8 years. I was just made an employee last year. On my P2P application, I put my new employee’s name. If they call to verify my status, will the fact that I have been employed for only 1 year make any difference? It’s the same company and physical place I have work for 9 years, just the paycheck is signed by someone else.

Think about it.

 

Only employed people have the right to purchase firearms?

 

It should not be a factor. You could have just started or be unemployed or be self employed like me.

why would that matter you dont need a job to exersize your rights

It is so sad that we have to ask these kind of questions. What RIGHTS do we have if we are so scared of making a small mistake on the form because that can give them the excuse to deny us our rights to own a firearm. Hell some people are scared of calling the PD after 30 days and asking where their permits are because they might get known as a trouble maker and have the PD deny them.

This stuff makes me so mad that I am going over to the New Jersey Second Amendment Society site and making another donation to Operation Establish Compliance.

I put down self employed and was glad I did after reading about some townships calling employers, asking for credit reports and notarizing apps?

If you are not self employed, then you lied on your form and can be denied - think about it...

Yea putting down "self-employed" if you actually aren't isn't a good idea. It's stupid that we even need to go through this process, however that doesn't mean we should start lying to cheat the process.

I own my own business so there was no lie involved, i just happen to have 2 jobs.

Ditto.

I am self-employed but since I have the business under a Corporation I put that down. They sent a letter to inform my employer that an employee (me) was getting an FID. I called my buddy in the local PD who does the applications and asked him how he wanted me to fill-out the form. He said I should have simply said self-employed and we could have by-passed that letter.

Then I see no issue with that. Having two jobs, there's nothing wrong with deciding which information to give. I was simply referring to someone who has ONE job, and they are not self-employed.

It should not matter even if you are unemployed!!

Goodness gracious.
