My wife and I were both denied carry permits in the state of Montana a few years ago. The reason given was dishonesty (or omitting vital information), according to the Sheriff's dept.
We had in fact followed to a T the direction of our weapons training instructor, in regards to what information to disclose on our applications. We were directed to only include heinous crimes, and or felony type charges. There was some discussion between all of the individuals in our class and our instructor to this point, and the instructor was quite certain, and adamant that the steps we were to follow would give us the best chances of receiving our permits.
Neither myself nor my wife have any felonies, however, in my youth I did have some brushes with the law, as did my wife, subsequently we both have at least one misdemeanor on our adult records.
On to the present. We have since located to Iowa, and have often considered reapplying for CCW. With the new carry laws in affect, now seems to be a great time to reapply.
In closing, time has taught us much, and our naivety that was so evident as younger persons has passed. It is obvious that disclosing all of this to our current Sheriff on our applications is necessary, yet we wonder if that alone will be enough.
Does anyone have any constructive thoughts for us as we proceed?
