We recently got an interesting letter from our local Sheriff. Stated that a routine audit of CC licenses found a disqualifying event in my wife's history. She had 5 days to turn in her CCW in person.
Fortunately we have a very pro-rights Sheriffs department, and they were willing to help us get to the bottom of the issue. Apparently, a county in Indiana where she lived briefly 15 years ago had failed to close a case that was opened for a bad check after she paid all charges and resolved the issue. For 15 years, she has been hunting, shooting with me, and has carried concealed for 10 years. If at any time an issue had come up, she likely would have been charged with prohibited person in posession of a weapon!
How can one know if an old administrative error for a minor charge is haunting their background somewhere, just waiting to come to light at the worst possible moment? Best case you miss out on a good deal on a firearm. Worst case, a routine traffic stop turns into a felony arrest and confiscation of any gun or ammo in your posession!
