My employer is also the secretary of the club I shoot at! I imagine they ask for employment details so they can contact you quickly if needed.

My FEO has visited me at work on 2 occasions.bnz41 wrote:I've noticed they ask for your employers contact details including number, email etc. Do they contact employers? Why do they need that info?
We have had FAC's for almost 20 years the renewal and variation forms have always asked for your employers details, email/phone etc which have been filled in, they have never been contacted.
The first was when I had my FAC granted, he dropped it in for me to sign, I think he did ask if that was ok prior to turning up.
The second time was after I had a complaint from a neighbour for shooting a shotgun (claimed shot had landed on their roof )
He turned up in the shop out of the blue and had a chat with me.

There are some advantages to being an `old codger`, where it asks for employers details I just put retired!

Re: FAC varitation. Employers details?
why are people so scared of giving employer details?
When guns are outlawed, only Outlaws will have guns
Re: FAC varitation. Employers details?
Simply mixing work and pleasure. Firearms can be quite an emotive subject for some.

B - My employer may be prejudiced against shooters.
C - My employer might not be of good character and his knowledge of my firearms possession may not be appropriate.
D - Will my employer safeguard that info ?
E - It is NOT a requirement in legislation.
F - Its just another "mission creep" in making up the rules as they go along.

Scared does not even enter the scenario, hacked off is more appropriate. + 1 breacher.breacher wrote:A - its not at all relevant to my possession of firearms.bradaz11 wrote:why are people so scared of giving employer details?

Christel,, Breacher:
Why are people so happy to give out info whenever it is asked for without asking WHY they are asking?
There's a law against collecting information that is NOT needed. Informatoion "for the computer" is one example that comes up regularly in shops nowdays.
If an employer is NOT being contacted then WHY do they need his information? End of!
