so after 3 months of waiting one of my references finally called in to do the interview only to decide half way through that my having a gun licence is against his beliefs and he terminated the interview. now i have to wait for the RCMP to send out new forms and start all over again. gggggrrr seriously is there any way to speed this up they told me it could take weeks to even send me the new forms
need new references as one decided my having a gun licence was against his beliefs
- Thread starter jinx0523
- Start date
i thought i had have know the person 15 years been roommates and business partners and coworkers. if he had a problem with gun ownership( and in 15 years this is the first i have heard of it) why did he not tell me that before he agreed to be a reference and i would have used someone else. i guess i will know better next time. but seriuosly i will have missed every local and semi local gun show to me in alberta this year by time i get my licence
i know i am really pissed right know i am not even going to acknowledge his email( yah did not have the balls to tell me in person) for a few days/weeks not sure i am ready to throw away that long of a friendship over this and if i say anything now i a pretty sure that is what will happen i do not hold my tongue well when i am this mad.
i am the first one to defend everyones right to there own beliefs and values which is why i get so angry when other people feel the need to inpose there values on me. i mean objecting to me having a gun licence and legally obtaining a gun is like objecting to me having a drivers licence and owning a car cause you do not believe in driving

I would. This guy screwed you over hard and obviously didn't give a crap how you felt or what you wanted. Some "friend"
Agreed, he pretty much boned you by doing this.

De-friend, delete, deny emails. He is no friend of yours anymore. He knew how important this was to you, agreed to do it, but still put his personal (and not expressed) feelings in front of your friendship. You owe him nothing but disdain.
If someone did that to me, they'd never see or hear from me again. Ever. This guy does not deserve your friendship. A true friend is someone that has your back, will stick by you, and someone that you can trust, no matter what. There's no way you could ever trust him again.

They don't ask for anyone's personal beliefs in the interview, they just ask about the person applying and if you have any reason to believe they would use violence to resolve a problem. They ask a bunch more questions, but that is the gist of all of them. He could have answered all the questions properly so you get your pal without compromising his personal beliefs. Not a friend at all in my opinion. What would stop him from calling in bogus safety concerns about you when you do get your pal? With friends like him, you don't need enemies. At least now you know you can't trust him.

A friend would not do that. Consider it a lesson learned and steer clear of the turd.

If you're on Facebook at all, you've got bigger problems. That web site is for chick gossip. Terminate your account.
If you asked him in the first place and he said no, that would be one thing...
But to agree to be your reference, sign the papers and then renege is a friendship ending action IMHO
If any friend of mine did something like that I'd tell him flat he betrayed my trust and friendship and that was the end of knowing him.
FYI my references were my Mother in-law and Sister in-law, neither are big proponents of guns as far as I know, but they agreed to be my references and answered the questions based on who I am not on if there should be guns in the country. Anyone against gun ownership should politely decline being a reference
'nuff said

You need to find a pal with a PAL! Lol!

You just better pray he didn't screw you and say anything to hurt your chances of getting a PAL.
What a douche....
What a douche....
That sucks. I wouldn't blame someone for not wanting to act as a reference, but to agree to do it and back out in the middle is pretty low. Doesn't sound like much of a friend. If I were in that situation, I would convey my disappointment with them backing out in the middle and leaving you hanging. Unless there was an apology, I would distance myself from the friendship.
