So, i have a valid cwp from SC. I figured it would be no sweat to get a non resident cwp from NH. Wrong! Turns out i have a simple posession charge on my record from several years ago that i had forgotten about. How embarrassing! Can someone tell me if this will prevent me from getting a non res. cwp from Fla.? Is there anywhere that it wouldn't be a deal breaker? Thanks!
Yeah Our state is hard on that they do not let people with any kind of drug stuff on record get a Permit.
For FL
Possible Reasons for Ineligibility:
The physical inability to handle a firearm safely.
A felony conviction (unless civil and firearm rights have been restored by the convicting authority).
Having adjudication withheld or sentence suspended on a felony or misdemeanor crime of violence unless three years have elapsed since probation or other conditions set by the court have been fulfilled.
A conviction for a misdemeanor crime of violence in the last three years.
A conviction for violation of controlled substance laws or multiple arrests for such offenses.
A record of drug or alcohol abuse.
Two or more DUI convictions within the previous three years.
Being committed to a mental institution or adjudged incompetent or mentally defective.
Failing to provide proof of proficiency with a firearm.
Having been issued a domestic violence injunction or an injunction against repeat violence that is currently in force.
Renouncement of U.S. citizenship.
A dishonorable discharge from the armed forces.
Being a fugitive from justice.
UT is may issue for drug offenses.
The laws the states have on Concealed Carry appear not to have rhyme or reason. Missouri will issue if you a misdemeanor conviction, controlled substance, that is older than 5 years. Wyoming is one state that does not honor Missouri, curious about this I wrote the Wyoming Attorney General’s office inquiring why Missouri was not a recognized since their law stated they would recognize any valid out of state CCW and this seemed contradictory. Got a nice reply, simply stating that Missouri would issue to a person with a misdemeanor controlled substance conviction, Wyoming would not, therefore not recognize Missouri. Now if I understand you SC will issue under those circumstances and Wyoming does in fact recognize SC CCW permits. What sense does that make? ? Is it possible to get your record expunged, were you under 18 at the time?:wacko:Yes, it was a first offense, for pot, in SC. And it was before i got my cwp here. It seems like if SC would still issue a permit, that it would be good enough to qualify for others. It is a misdemeanor, after all. Really no more serious than a speeding ticket. Until this.:nono:
I thought a state was Shall or May period. No background stipulations to change this. If you meet the requirements then you get a permit. UT app only asks...
Have you ever been convicted of the unlawful use of narcotics or other controlled substances?
The only reference to being arrested is...
Have you ever been arrested for any offense involving domestic violence?
I still don't know if the OP is referring to an arrest or conviction. I think this is an important distinction.
...A State is shall issue if you meet their statutory issuance requirements for issuance. If you do not, they can either deny or the application becomes may issue depending on the State...
If you do not meet the requirements set forth under UCA 53-3-704 it's at the descretion of UT BCI if you meet the "good character" requirement for a Utah CFP.
Arrests typically do not count against you. I would get the final disposition documents pertaining to the arrest before applying. If you don't, they may kick it back asking for them. This is common if you have a blemish on your record that has arrests but no convictions. The issuing agency asks for this to verify that it indeed was just an arrest and not a conviction.I'm applying to Utah for non resident and I have a 1996 arrest for pot possession. I was never booked, cited, fingerprinted, or even in the police car. But apparently it is on the books as an arrest. No conviction. I don't see this as not meeting their statutory issuance requirements for issuance.
What made you choose New Hampshire?
I'm guessing it's because NH has reciprocity with Ga. and Alabama while SC doesn't. I'll be going through my training class and testing this Saturday and will also be sending an application to NH after I receive my SC CWP.
Well my first thought was that Florida was closer and included more states but then I did my homework using the resources here. The non resident NH is only $20 and will be issued or denied in two weeks. Now I see. :laugh:
Personally, I'm adding Utah to my New Mexico permit in order to get the most states covered.
