Gun purchase Denied

florida.... hmm I guess it is, it was called pre trial intervention, the lawyer said that my charges would be dropped upon completion of the program and that was that. I'm not really sure honestly.

If memory serves me correctly, my lockermate in law school was a Dade County Assistant State's Attorney and he called them "alt pros" (alternative to prosecution). Is that what you had?

I'd call your attorney in Florida and ensure that no conviction transpired and that the case was in fact dismissed (get a copy of the court order too just in case).

yeah they sent me a letter saying i had completed the program and that they were dropping the charges.

"They"? Who is they? The State's Attorney? Your lawyers? The Indianapolis Colts?

Is it the court order which orders the case dismissed?

One of my friends was denied to purchase a rifle by NICS. I have been trying to help him along by advising but I am stuck.

He sent fingerprints in to the FBI and a letter explaining that he was turned down because he was a fugitive from Justice.

They sent back a Criminal History Record showing that he had been charged with Marijuana -Possess Less than 1 oz. in Chartersville Municipal Court, Ga.

Disposition: Convicted 1995-02-24 ; guilty

Sentence: Fine $363

Would this prevent him from purchasing a gun? What can he do to become eligible again?

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas. I told him I would try to help him resolve this there is a solution.

Sounds to me like he needs to pay the fine.

yeah from the state attorneys, it was crap anyways, I just didnt have the money to fight it.

Radiculous

...catch a pot charge at 18 and from what I have seen your done with guns....

And never be able to vote. I think that is radiculous too. Even 50 years from now, unless something changes, he will not be able to vote or have a handgun for protection. Sad. Most of us do things at age 18 that we are not proud of and considered crimial. We just didn't get caught.
