A few years ago, I was accused of a crime & through a lot of fighting back was totally exonerated of all charges. In the process of the accusation, there was a 'restraining order' put in place to keep me from contact w/ the supposed victim. After it was all over & I could breath again, I got a certified letter from the Sheriff informing me that my concealed carry permit had been revoked because of the restraining order. I couldn't believe they had failed to see that I'd been cleared of all charges & still went through with cancelling my permit.
AT the time I was tired of the fight and thought that down the road I would apply again & see what would happen. I did look at Idaho law at the time, and a permit cannot be issued & can be revoked if there is a "DOMESTIC" restraining order. It says nothing about a regular restraining order. ONLY a domestic one, where there has been a history or accusation of domestic violence.
I haven't re-applied yet. I was wondering if there were any thoughts on this & if I could get some advice. Do you think the Sheriff will understand & listen to my story? Can they deny me a permit based on an erroneous accusation & a mistakenly placed restraining order? HELP! I have NO IDEA what to do....
