If you put down, "Self employed" would they have any reason to question it?

It doesn't matter - they can't base the decision to issue a concealed handgun license off of whether or not he's getting paychecks at the time.

Honesty above all when it comes to these things. Lies or twists, no matter how small, will bite you harder, and faster, in the rear than you can imagine.

Again.........N/A. If you are currently unemployed, then that's the answer I would give. It seems rather simple. Employer means who you work for now. Not in the future, not in the past. If you don't currently work for anyone legally, then N/A is the only answer, and I don't think that will deter the process in any way.

Case in point:

I think they DO use this question to screen...

NH used to be a 10-day turn around, now they are at about 70 days.

If you put down "none" they may recruit you to work for them and start processing pistol applications :-)
