Eligibility for CHL with misdemeanor past
A coworker of mine has just recently taken his Ohio CHL class and is getting ready to turn in his app. He is concerned about a 15-year-ago misdemeanor for drugs. He had a marijuana pipe in his car. Will this impinge his application? Thanks in advance for answers.
Glocks and Nikons. Is this a great country or what!?

Re: Eligibility for CHL with misdemeanor past
It probably will. We had a similar instance here in Muskingum County.glockinfairfield wrote:A coworker of mine has just recently taken his Ohio CHL class and is getting ready to turn in his app. He is concerned about a 15-year-ago misdemeanor for drugs.

We had another instance where an individual had been convicted of breaking and entering as a very young person. He had been an exemplery citizen since. He was initially denied a license. I don't know if he appealed, nor the final outcome.

Tell him to get a lawyer and see if he can get his record expunged and sealed. I am not 100% sure if this would OK him for a CHL since this was adrug charge, but he could check it out. I doubt most people would do this, unless he really wants to have a CHL and carry alot, most people would not want to pay the money and take the time to do this just to carry a half dozen times a year.

Unfortunately, I am not at all sure that even having a drug charge expunged would help qualify someone for a CHL. Sheriffs are authorized to examine expunged records, too, under the law.Brian_Horton wrote:Tell him to get a lawyer and see if he can get his record expunged and sealed.

It is not all that hard to get a record expunged. I would guess well less than a thousand dollars and maybe one court appearance. Perhaps someone currently practising in Ohio would know the dollar figure better.Brian_Horton wrote:I doubt most people would do this, unless he really wants to have a CHL and carry alot, most people would not want to pay the money and take the time to do this just to carry a half dozen times a year.

That precedent has already been set in my county. The application was denied.tommcnaughton wrote:Unfortunately, I am not at all sure that even having a drug charge expunged would help qualify someone for a CHL.
