LTCH Application with Minor Misdeamenors?

[Light]

Hey everyone,

When I was still a stupid kid (16ish) I got in trouble with the law and was charged with 10 Class B Misdemeanors for Criminal Mischief. It was all from a single incident, but involved 10 different property owners.
I plead guilty so it never went to court, and I did community service for it. I am now 21.

I'm wanting to apply for my LTCH, and I know that the misdemeanors shouldn't prevent me from getting my LTCH, but on part of the online application it asks for previous misdemeanors to be listed.
My question is whether or not I need to list these misdemeanors since I was a minor at the time?

My question is just to try to prevent the application from being denied for choosing one way or the other on the first try.

IIRC, it is either 7 or 8 years from the date of your charges where it "clears"... but I also don't recall what form I'm referencing.

If I had to guess, I'd say it to be in regards to 18+ misd's... but IANAL.

If it was a conviction, you MUST list it. It will likely make the process take longer while the info is verified, but failing to list a conviction is an automatic denial.

Either buy a few minutes of Guy Relford's time, or call the state police firearms branch directly. Those are the only two resources I would have any faith in at all, and neither of them is 100%.

If you were 16, a minor, your record should "clear" when you turned 18 right? If not, then a misdemeanor of a non-violent crime will not keep you from an LTCH. Like chezuki as long as you list it, you should be good.

I have a distant relative with a similar issue. He had 3 or 4 minor misdemeanors as a teen and forgot to list ONE of those. (He was in his 50's when he applied for the Ind LTCH) They denied him. He reapplied, listed everything and got his pink slip. It took a Looooooong time, but he got it.

Sounds an awful lot like "may issue" licensing to me.

Why not declare them anyway? It's not like ISP won't know the instant you submit your application.


Yeah, like someone said, call them...

When you get down to it, the licensing of a right is probably the far bigger issue (as opposed to what standard the State employs in giving permission). In either case you're going to the State with your hat in hand...
