I have a question about form 4473.
A little background... I made a poor decision about 25 years ago that resulted in a simple assault (misdemeanor) charge. The victim was a girlfriend who lived with me at the time.
Since that time I have been a model citizen, husband and father. I have had no other legal issues and passed several employment background checks without any problems.
I currently own a pistol that I purchased from a private party, but I want to purchase a new pistol from a dealer which requires me to fill out a form 4473.
My question is how to legally and honestly answer question 11i - "Have you ever been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence?"
The definition of 11i on form 4473 states "...by a person who is cohabitating with, or has cohabitated with the victim as a spouse, parent or guardian of the victim..."
How should I legally answer question 11i?
Would my past mistake prevent me from obtaining a carry permit?
I live in Tennessee.
Thanks in advance.
