Stupid question on domestic violence. Back in 1998 or 1999 I was enlisted in the air force. I invited some little thing over to my dorm room. Short story, she was nuts and I ended up asking her to leave. Later that night she got caught shoplifting on base and made up a story about how I hit her to try to get out of it.
I was taken down to the police station on base and asked to give a report. This was all handled by the base police, though the local sheriff did show up to take the girl from base.
I denied it of course. A week or two later my supervisor "wrote me up" with something called a "letter of admonishment" to put into my file. I cant recall what the letter said but the jist of it was that the situation I created was bad and I cuased it by making poor choices. These latters are handed out for anything like that, including mouthing off, being late etc..
I was very angry and changed my plans to re-enlist. A couple years later when my enlistment was up in a futile attempt to get me to stay, my supervisors boss took the letter from my filed an ripped it up in front of me. Too bad for him I got out anyways.
I have passed several NICS checks and purchased several firearms. However I recently applied for a CCW permit and I forgot about this situation until recently. I konw the CCW process is much more manual and I think at most there would be a police report somewhere on this. I live in a shall issue state though.
The letter I mentioned is the only form of punishment I got and I never saw a judge, court martial, lawer or got an article 15.
I assume if I was convicted it would include those things but not sure how it works in the military.
Does this count as a conviction of violence or domestic violence? If it were in my military file would they even be able to find it? I have a completely honorable discharge with what I think or positive reentry codes.
