My uncle is interested in getting a firearms license, 15 years ago he got a misdemeanor possession charge, is there anything he can do so that he can get his permit
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think that is only chance is if he can get a total expungement of the charge and the record. Any drug conviction is an automatic disqualifier under GA law.
I don't think an expungment will work for a conviction. Which means his only hope is to get the law changed.
How is it the war on "some" drugs? I don't feel sorry for anyone who gets involved with that stuff, gets a conviction, and then later realizes what they've done. We all have choices to make, and we have to live with the result of those decisions. Those who play with fire get burned. That's life. Other than giving us the television series Cops, what have illegal drugs done to improve our society and our culture?
