LTCH Hearing to get License

[tonyb71]

I have a hearing scheduled next week and was curious if others had to do this to get their license & if so what was the process like? I feel confident after talking to a lady from the ISP about 2 misdemeanors I have that are 20 years old but just looking for what others have experienced. I'm gonna have to take a vacation day & drive 2.5 hours to get there. Seems crazy to have to do this but I'd rather go in person to get this over.

Is this on your first application, renewal application, after a conviction for delivering a beat down to a cop, what's the greater context for the reason for this hearing?

 

[tonyb71]

I've had a license before but that expired in prob 1995 so it's not a renewal. It's the "Determination of whether or not I'm a proper person to be licensed". The misdemeanors had nothing to do with guns, domestic violence or involved anything to LE. I did just buy 2 handguns in the past month and made it thru the Feds check with no problems. I think they just need more detail info on the charges which are related to a fight I got into with a guy almost 20 years ago.

Did they need more detail when you bought and paid for the license that expired in 1995?

Nevermind. I just did the math. Am I to understand the fight in question came after your last LTCH expired?

 

[tonyb71]

Actually, I'm pretty certain it occurred while my license was valid but I think it was a 4-5yr license at the time. It wasn't revoked and I never received anything about it. She never mentioned my expired license & it sounded like they just needed more details on the charges. She said this was pretty common and after I told her what they were she thought I would make it thru ok.

This is why we need constitutional carry sooner than later!

 

[tonyb71]

It's pretty crappy. If I didn't want my LTCH that bad I wouldn't waste my time but if driving to Indy & meeting FTF will resolve it I'll burn a vacation day & pay prob $75 in gas.

Take copies of the court documents. Preferably take (or talk to) a lawyer, there are a couple on the board that are active, Kirk Freeman and Guy Relford come to mind but I'm sure there are others.

Thanks Bill B. I sent Kirk Freeman and note so hopefully he will have some advice for me.
