I have a few guys in my platoon that all have asked me about getting a gun permit when we get home from Iraq. These guys all have criminal records but none of them are the same, yet they all have to do with A&B. Told them I'd ask here to see what the experts say.
One has a few assault charges with 1 arrest (he thinks it was "domestic A&B") which lead to probation but no jail time but it was about 10 years ago. Another also has a couple A&B charges with 1 being for spanking his girlfriend's kid (the grandma got offended & went to the cops who interviewed him & released him so he wasn't arrested but WAS convicted of A&B on a minor, a felony I believe) which he ended up being on probation, attending anger management & with his girlfriend worked with DYS to fulfill all court mandated obligations.
1 of them asked "What if I pay a lawyer to get my record expunged, can I get a permit then?". Another 1 asked me "I moved from MA to NC so I'd have to go back to MA to get it expunged then right?". The 3rd 1 asked me "Can I get a hunting license after I take the gun safety class? Can I get denied a CCW even though I've never been to jail?". At this point I said "Guys... I have no idea. You'll have to check with a lawyer or something. Then I thought to myself today, why not ask here?
