I have good news. I will pick up my permit tommorow. It seems as if a few calls of righteous indignation helped me. I called the NJSP Tuckerton Barricks to ask about the screening procedures. I was referred to the NJSP in Trenton to the Firearms ID program. I left a message on voicemail and then called back later in the day and spoke to a administrative assistant who took my information and passed it on to the head of the unit. I was called back and we discussed the situation. I read the 2 line letter that resulted in my denial. This man actually called the local police Lt. and discussed it with him and a call was placed yesterday to the attorney who wrote the letter for my employer. The rationale was that if my employer was serious that I should not own a firearm that they would respond in a timely fashion. As my initial reference sat for at least a month or more and then was so vague. The letter from my employer came 3 days after I was fired... No one returned the call to the PD. SO I HAVE MY PERMIT. My employment lawyer feels that this is the continued harassment on the part of my former employer and that with all other references and background checks OK it seems as if the local PD and NJSP do too.

 

I will post tomorrow when I have the permits in hand.

YOU GO GIRL!!

I think to get even.... I will run for Mayor in this one horse town....

 

I did exactly that, I was REALLY unhappy with the way I was treated by my town employees, I ran for council and won...I have already got rid of SEVERAL people that felt they were better than the people that pay their salary. Another one bites the dust this month...

I encourage you to run, because these people don't get it. They work in lala land and don't understand even basic human decency...

at leat 2 do now in my town and the third will learn VERY soon that you can be a team player or you can play elsewhere

I was a bit nervous when the detective called me at work and told me to have my boss call him back to verify.. it caught me off guard and my boss is anti-gun, but they were nice enough to call ASAP and I didn't have any problems... I figured a W2 copy would suffice.

Good point! But how do you sue City Hall?

People do it every day....90+% of the time the town will settle rather than go to trial.

congrats!

Never forget that there is ONE and only ONE purpose for having these employer "reference checks." That is to discourage people from purchasing guns for fear of intimidation or being outed to anti-gun employers.
