I am in similar boat; folks here in another thread helpfully advised me that references could be out-of-state (which gets me closer to applying) but this "employer" BS is yet another hurdle for me. I've filled out tons of forms over the years, fingerprints up the wazoo, background checks, etc., etc., but this slave code vestige of "employer vouching for you" needs to go.
The SCOTUS ruled decades ago that police do NOT have the duty to protect and that the responsibility for protection lies with the individual. Making it expensive and difficult to own / carry a firearm disproportionately affects those who need self protection the most but do not have the financial means to do so. Making it nearly impossible for underserved communities to excercize their right to self defense is in my opinion not only unconstitutional but also racist.
You put self employed as occupation, they actually read the application and understand that you are your own boss.
And it appears to be doing a great job based on the questions here.
Send this to Clarence Thomas. It's concise and to the point. It may show up in a footnote when he starts spanking MD and NY.
Put your lawyer down as a reference
It would be pure gold if you can find that voter application form and put in up side by side with the MD permit and the MD form looks like a clone of the Alabama form!
Not only did they call my employer, They called my employer’s MOTHER to confirm he was an honest man.
Right!? Dodged a SWAT raid there.
And yet you can't list that as an occupation on a 77R, they will reject it. Go figure. Only the government could come up with that.
LOL, yeah, he always ruins my day with things to do.
