Georgia Weapons License Potential Denial

[FIREFIGHTER769]

So, I finally went and applied for my GWL a couple of weeks ago, I got a letter in the mail today that says I could potentially be ineligible to receive a license even if I am not prohibited due to : The court has concerns about your criminal history.

The only thing I have ever been convicted of was Disorderly Conduct (2007 - I was young, dumb and fresh out of USMC basic training.) I did my probation and paid the fine.
and possession of a fake ID (2008) - I had a drivers license that had been altered (to reflect that I was over 21 to drink - I know, stupid) Paid the fine.

Other than those 2 things I dont have anything that could deny me. Unless having 9 speeding tickets on your 7 year MVR has anything to do with it.

It says that I can request a hearing. Am I wasting my time? Should I go?

So let me get this straight, they'll let you go in to burning houses and save people, fight for the Marines but you cannot carry a Keltec in your pocket because you got caught doing what every one of us here probably did in the past???

Sounds about right.

I would fight with everything you got. Do not let them deny you. Have your Chief go to the hearing with you.

Im not sure if any of those qualified as a felony, but that'll do it weather time was served or fines were paid.

You might be SOL but if it's important to you, I would fight it or at least pursue it further.
Semper Fi brother!

Call a LAWYER!!!!

I would imagine the disorderly conduct charge is what's gonna get you.

Can you convince the Probate Judge that you are a man of good moral character? Two fairly recent problems plus a bunch of tickets raised the red flag I'm sure...

 

[Bass Akwards]

My guess would be the fake ID part.

 

[Jranger]

Probably a generic letter that goes out to anyone that warrants further investigation. Call the probate office and speak to a clerk. Many times these things can be clarified quickly...

I had this issue raised about an old Arrest. I called the Probate judge on the phone and let his staff know I was found not guilty, I assume he checked up on it, and a week later my GWL was in my mail box.
I think they do a quick public records search and any arrest triggers the response. Request the hearing and state your case in a respectful manner.
Good luck on this, I don't see a reasonable judge going against you for a couple things like that.
