Are you ever asked about your job when applying for a licence?

    Do they ever ask about what work you do when you apply for a licence? Has anyone here ever been asked & would your job make any difference when considering your application for a licence? I will be applying for a shotgun licence. Any help anyone can give me appreciated.
    Thank You

    I was asked. I assumed it was just letting the FO and the Super know a little more about me. I didn't mind, since the tax man knows where I work.

    A shotgun won't raise that many eyebrows.
    Before you apply you'll need the following,
    Receipt of purchased Shotgun,
    2 letters of permission of land you wish to shoot
    safe

    To add a little more weight to the application,
    Membership of a gun club,
    Insurance, you get that when you join a club included in the fee,
    Monitored alarm (eg Eircom Phonewatch)

    Anyone disagree with the above? Please let me know.

    My ocupation went down on the form, I don't mind. I told the garda a fair bit about my self as he didnt know me and I was asking for a full bore.

    when you went to pick up the license he asked you?
    I don't think he likes you.
