Obtaining an SBR without CWP eligibility

[David hainer]

Misdemeanor, as far as an SBR would I lose the 200 if I was denied?

No, if you are denied they refund your money. If you can pass a 4473 you will not be denied.

Are you sure they just didn't give you some first offender type probation that said stay out of trouble for this amount of time, and you're good. I don't know what the current laws are for younger people driving, but I thought they may have increased the penalties on certain violations.

Either way though it sounds like you're fine.

Yea if it was not a felony or a domestic you should be fine for both. Sounds like someone at the court house didn't know what they were talking about.

If you can legally purchase a firearm you can obtain a NFA firearm.

This is correct.

how could a misdemeanor TRAFFIC VIOLATION, a moving violation from title 40 of the Georgia code, ever cost you any of your gun rights?
The only thing I can think of is when you're actually incarcerated. You can't have your gun with you in jail !!! You could have spent a year in jail.

But, since your sentence is fully completed, I don't see ANY way for this to prevent you from getting a GWL, or an NFA weapon registered to you.

Who said that your "reckless driving" (probably a DUI charge that was pled down, right?) would prevent you from getting a GWL for 5 years? Or any period of time?

You have not provided enough information to make an informed decision.

The short answer is that the Georgia laws control whether you can get a GWL, and the federal laws control whether you are eligible for an NFA firearms. Two different set of laws, two different results.

GENERALLY SPEAKING, conviction of a traffic offense that is not a felony would not be a disqualification under federal law.

BUT, I have to emphasize that there is no generalization that can be drawn between eligibility for a GWL under state laws, and eligibility for a NFA under federal laws.

I was told by whoever at the probate court that no matter what the offense is it's a 5 year period after the time you get off probation to the time you can qualify for a GWL. I'm gonna go ahead and apply monday if I get denied so be it I'll wait another year.

Yeah lol it was a DUI pled to a reckless driving after we took it to state court.

OK so before anyone jumps my ass, I am legal to purchase firearms. I have bought several firearms at gander mountain, academy, gun shops etc. Basically I was on probation when I was 18 for reckless driving and in Georgia you cannot obtain a carry permit until 5 years after you are off probation (22 almost 23 now so about 1-1/2 years left). My question is would I be denied for an SBR or suppressor for this same reason if I applied or would it not matter?

Im 23 and i own a suppressor .

I applied for (and received) my gwl 2 weeks after finishing probation. Apply for it. Someone blew smoke up your chimney
