3. Is there a gun in the house? Is ammunition stored with it?
_____yes ____no If yes, Where is it located:

For some reason this question made me feel uneasy.
My initial thought was, "why so you or someone you know can break in my house"
I would answer if I thought the question more on the lines of safety.

I agree as well. The way it was worded before would make me leary of telling you anything.

I think you should ask if there is any weapons kept in the house and if they are secured/safely stored. Not where's your gun...

See how this sounds:

Does anyone residing in the household own firearms? yes no

If yes, for what purpose do you have the firearm(s).

At any time that a firearm(s) has/have been purchased during my employment, do you agree to notify me immediately? yes no

If I am hired for this position are you willing to safely store the firearm(s), unaccessable to the children, store ammuntion seperately, keep the firearm(s) under lock and key and visually show me that this has been done? yes no



Also: (If I find out that this is an issue in your home, I retain the right to terminate contract immediately and leave without notice)

I would add this above the signature and word it more like:

I retain the right to terminate the contract immediately and leave without notice if discovered that any of the information provided above is false.

The highlighted portion above is not germain to the discussion. You, as a potential employee, have no right to know why a person owns a gun. What does it matter why they own one? That's like asking why they have blue bath towels instead of the red ones you think they should have.

I can understand asking if a gun is in the house and asking that it be securely stored under lock and key. I do not agree that it is necessary to store the gun separate from the ammunition so long as the gun is under lock and key.

understandable for the way you read it. That is exactly why I asked for people who were parents to read over it. :yay:


Huntr- as far as why I need to know- it is more the safety precaution- so that I know that the children cannot get to it. But I understand what you are saying.

True, but if they're telling her it's for hunting and it's a hand gun....they're full of crap. It really shouldn't matter to them if she asks.

We keep our ammo seperate but only because we feel it's safer for our kids. If they happen to get access to a firearm then hopefully they can't hurt themselves because they still don't have the ammo. I'm pretty sure in the gun safety classes they tell you to do this also.

I know people that hunt with handguns. If somebody applying for a job with me asked WHY I owned guns, they would not be hired. Asking if I owned them and how they were stored is fine with me.

I too store most of my ammo seperate from my guns. Mainly because I have too much to store with the guns. However, all my guns are stored in locked gun safes. My handgun is stored with a loaded clip next to it in the safe. The rest of the ammo is in a number of ammo cans (the big 20MM suckers that are 6x the size of a 50 cal ammo can) under some shelves on the other side of the room. Why? Because the ammo cans are so heavy I cannot hardly push them across the concrete floor to get them in/out from under the shelves and there is no way I can pick them up, therefore there is no way the kids could ever get into them.
