Unemployed

[NewLife2626]

I am going to fill out the paper work to get my ccw permit but have lost my job and am wondering since on the paper work it asks for occupation if I put down unemployed is that going to defeat my chances of getting aproved for my permit. I have never been in trouble with the law ofher then a speeding ticket. Should I not even try untill I have a new job or should I be all right.

I've never heard of anyone being denied for not having a job. Anyone else?

jobless

Your RIGHT to keep and bear does NOT increase if you are employed nor does it decrease if you are unemployed.

I left that part blank on my permit application. It's none of their business! Got mine back approved with in a week.

I was wondering sort of the same thing. The Indiana application asks for occupation and since I have just recently moved here and I am self-employed, was wondering if that would be an issue.

I am on disability and put "n/a" in the occupation and the employer spaces and got my out of PA out of state permit.

Your occupation is what you normally do for a living. It doesn't ask if you are employed at this time. On my application, it asked for my occupation, even if retired.

I would put "nunya" in the field for occupation, 'cause it's nunya darn business!

 

[handgonnetoter]

I don't see any reason that would even matter myself, but this is just what I think.

Lying on the application is worse. Always tell the truth. Being unemployed is not representative of your character as a law-abiding citizen. This is a poor economy. Many people are unemployed right now. The judge will understand.

I would think "occupation" would be better than job, if you have always worked int he same field, maybe you could put "sales" or whatever down, no lying but not being totally honest either. Either way, as long as you don't put "hitman for the mob" or "assassin" I don't see that they would have a problem. All in all, be honest.

One more thing, if you were employed, and put the information down, then between the time you submitted the form, and got the permit you lost your job, what would happen then? I'm sure it has happened somewhere, to someone.

I'm with upnorth.
Just because you're not employed does not mean you changed occupations.
Put in what you like. It's always valid, even if you're not employed.

I have a friend that put unemployed an he go his Florida permit.

 

[cbutler114]

I also was unemployed when i filed for my cc permit and i had no trouble so yes u can put that you are unemployed.

 

[Stiofan]

Shall issue state it probably doesn't matter, may issue state it definitely does matter as they will probably determine your "need" for a permit. Unfortunately just the way it is.

 

[sdprof]

Occupation is what you do, not who you do it for.

If the form asks for "employer", well, you say "none"

And, what's it to them, anyway?
