Applied for my Lifetime License in Vanderburgh County a year ago. I have had a four year before, but has been expired for a few years. I was denied within a few days of app being at the local sheriff's office. Called the sheriff's department and spoke to the guy that looked my app over and made the decision to mark my app for denial... When I asked him why he recommended the denial he responded with; "Because I can, based on your past I don’t believe you deserve a license to carry."
My "past" he referenced:
1.) a few driving while suspended charges... Years back I had an attorney to fight reckless driving charge to speeding. all was well until the proper paperwork was not filed correctly in the clerk’s office. this bit me in the a** and caused my license to be suspended. all due to clerical errors.
Fact #1 - I WAS driving on a suspended license...
Fact #2 - My license should have never been suspended.
All I got from the judge when this was finally cleared up = "Sorry"... That’s it? Haha.
2.) One Misdemeanor DUI five or six years ago.
the guy told me that I have too many issue on my record and he would not recommend an approval. As far as my knowledge of the law goes, I believe I'm still legally entitled to carry a firearm.
Should i try to re-apply? should i spend the $$$$ and contact an attorney? should i Move? haha.
anyone have any advice?
