Will i be Denied ccw permit with old Assault charge?

Post by Hk45uspc »

I'm new to the forum and wanting to get my ccw permit. I'm sure this question has been asked before but i couldn't find anything on it. 7 years ago this June i was charged with Assault physical harm knowingly Misdemeanor 1, so how should i answer questions # 9 and 10 on the form? I know to answer them truthfully or it would be perjury. Basically will i be denied the permit for having the previous charge from 7 years ago?

Thanks.

You say you were charged, were you convicted as well?

If you were convicted you would answer yes to number 9 and since the conviction was more than 3 years ago, you would answer no to number 9.

If you were charged but never convicted, you would answer no to both.

Either way if this is the only item on your record and it is not domestic violence in nature, it would not be a reason for a denial.
Ignorant or Stupid, I'm not sure which is worse. If someone were stupid, at least they'd have an excuse for all the dumb things they say.

IANAL and neither are most people on this board, its just shows more with some than others.

Thanks, Im not sure if i was convicted but i would say i was considering i did jail time for it and was on probation and such. When i look it up in the records it says "Disposition- Not guilty Plea" that is all i see. The only other thing i have had was a DUI . Of course this was all when i was young and stupid :)
