hey i just got denied my concealed weapons permit.....I am going to talk to the judge tomarro as he requested.
I have only two things on my record in which they are both over 10yrs old and juvinile misdemeanors.

1- pos. of alcohol by a minor.
2-terroristic threats (age 15.....dismissed within 5 minutes of arrest)

I am now 25.....I have been a correctional officer/ spec ops for the state of georgia/ infantry. All these jobs I had to use and train with firearms!....

WHAT THE HELL!?
 
Gotta be your second offense there. No MIP is going to cause this. Outside chance that there is an identity mix-up, who knows.

Keep us posted on what the judge says tomorrow because it will surely benefit future members if they encounter problems like this.

Best wishes.

A charge can only be dismissed in a court of law. Nothing is done five minutes after an arrest. If it made it on to your record it went well beyond the actual arrest.

On the other hand is you passed the background investigation for the Georgia Department of Corrections the charges couldn't have been that troublesome. Neither sound like that serious of an offense. The TT sounds a lot worse than the actual charge.
 
thought Juvy Records Were Sealed after becoming an adult (18) ?

I thought the same thing too, but when I tried to buy my first gun, six years after a juvenile offense, I was denied, despite the fact the charges were dropped. The guy I talked to when I appealed it, said it was his mistake, and someone read the charges, and never bothered to see whether I was convicted or not.
 
juvenile records ARE sealed to an extent....if there is an NCIS check those records WILL show up....but not on a normal state background check......as far as the TT charge....I never had to go to court or anything...ever...ever.ever.....i even have a document from the judge from back when I went into the army stating that the charge was frivolous as it was a "grape vine" type of thing.....i never threatened anyone....someone just started a rumor back in middle school...the judge got word that I had been arrested....reviewed the paperwork and told me to go back to school(which is where it all originated) I never heard anything else about it.
 
Id be interested to see what the judge has to say also. I know someone who was denied a CCL, it was for "possession of a small amount of mary-jane", regardless of it being a small charge and only resulting in a small fine at the time many years before, they could deny it. The only route you have to get it is through the judge. Also his history had charges which resulted in simple fines from the police being called to this residence for his ex girlfriend going crazy on him.
By the way, law enforcement officers, and corrections officers can have minor offenses in their backgrounds, even DUI, but they must be completely honest about the charges, and outcome, along with disclosing this info to the employer before hiring, if not it is not considered being honest therefore they have no reason to trust you in the first place. After all, DUI is a felony (one defining characteristic of a felony is a penalty of 1 year or more in prison), but look at the number of people with prior DUIs in this coutry, in fact anywhere in this country.

I think you might be falling into a common misconception here...that the law in your state is the law in all states. DUI, at least the first offense, isn't a felony here. As far as the year in prison things goes...many misdemeanors are punishable by up to a year in Georgia.

Original poster, please post what the judge has to say to you. I know of people who have more serious records than you here in Georgia who have concealed carry permits...and those records were known when the permit was issued.

10 years ago, I had let my permit lapse some years before. I finally got around to reapplying for my permit.
After the permit was issued but before it had been mailed to me; I was arrested for carrying without permission. The fact that the signed, issued permit was on the judge's desk at the time was moot. The permit has to be on your person in Georgia. The probate judge held my permit while the charges were pending. On the day they were nol prossed, I took the paperwork to the judge and received my permit. The fact that I was on probation for two misdemeanor traffic violations was not pertinent. Warning, do not meet court in Richmond County, Georgia for a traffic violation. Not only will you have to pay the fine if found guilty but the judge will put you on probation.(With attending monthly fees, the probation system in Richmond County has been 'privatized.' Traffic court is doing all in its power to make the 'privatization' work.)

You might want to join GeorgiaCarry.org They've helped a number of people in situations such as this. Even if the talk with the judge straightens everything out; they're worth joining. Click the link in my signature.
 
DUI is not a felony in most states. I had some trobue when I was a late teen and early 20's and got poped. On my CCW app, it states have you been convicted of a felony and or juvenille DUI. I was 19 at the time so I answered NO. My app was reviewd and I got my CCW. I would think its the terrorsit threat that had something to do with it, but you are military too?????
 
he says "spec ops".....well I know that "spec ops" must have security clearances, usually TS clearances, so I think there are other things involved in your denial of your permit.

I realize Texas isn't Georgia, but for comparative purposes, we have stricter requirements for getting a CHL than are required for a person to be in the military or to be a police officer. In other words, blemishes that would disqualify you from CHL would not disqualify you necessarily from being a cop or a soldier. Being a cop or a soldier doesn't mean that those blemishes go away. There have been both that have been denied CHLs.

Is Georgia like that by chance?
 
i got mine in three days

im in georgia,im 50 years old,and i had a misdemeanor when i was 19. simple possession of pot. ive long since grown out of that,and it was a non violent offense.when i applied for a tax stamp for a machine gun 25 years ago,it came back wanting proof there was no firearms or explosives involved.after i sent them back,i got the tax stamp.i had my ccw renewed six months or so and i was there in three days.i dont see why you cant get yours:confused:
 
Why are you no longer a LEO?

That may or may not play a part of it. I'm sure they have access to those records.
 
well ppl I spoke with the judge and it was a simple lack of info obtained by their part.
my so called terroristic threat charge from when I was sixteen (which was simply a cruel rumor started by classmates which is why it held no legal grounds) is still listed as a charge on my record. The probate judge who handles CCW's did not have any info other than the actual charge on hand.....he had no information on what happened to the charge after it was filed almost 10 years ago. So I had to explain what happened and show him a peice of paper from the DA's office that stated that the charge was dismissed almost as soon as it was written. So with that being said.....I have the CCW.....very simple problem that could have been solved by the probate judge literally walking to the office next to his and requesting the information that I provided him. He actually assumed that these charges were still pending from almost 10 yrs ago. Needless to say I was a little p'd off. but whatever.
 
Why didn't you just properly disclose the information in the first place?
Click to expand...

because there is nothing to report...there was also no questions asking what I have been charged and dismissed with.....but only questions asking what I have been "CONVICTED OF"....i gave 100% correct information during the application process. The judge simply did not have the proper records on hand which is why I was temporarily denied due to a clerical error.
