hey guys...been on the fence about applying for my GFL and carrying but i think i have pretty much decided its a go and now i just have to fund the process...i do have a question and possible scenario to go along with the questions...
scenario: i was arrested when i was 19 (turn 34 on sunday) for domestic violence but was NOT convicted of any offense officially but was DEAD DOCKETED and sent on my way...the official background check shows as much and states this and i have purchased a few rifles and my handgun recently with no trouble other than the delay on my NICS check to be done and approved...nothing on my record aside from that to speak of other than traffic violations...
ok, now the questions...
1) this is a shall issue state and as long as i dont have drug, felony, or DV CONVICTIONS then i should be able to get my GFL, right?
2) what recourse do i have if the judge denies the application since i WASNT convicted but arrested all the same?
3) has anyone had this type of situation happen to them and what was the outcome?...anyone with advice or info, please chime in!!!
4) if i am approved, the GFL is a "good to go" card at FFL's for future purchases without having to do the NICS, right?...no more waiting i hope
thanks guys and gals for any help because the wife and i want to get ours asap and she doesnt even have so much as a stray hair on her record but i dont want to pay all that money and be denied if i can find out ahead of time if it's even worth trying for!
