For anyone who knows or has been through a similar circumstance, I have a question about my eligibility(or possible prohibition) for obtaining an Indiana LCH. I'm within my rights to own a gun, but the problem comes from past convictions.
2018- possession of marijuana/ paraphanelia (first is a class B misdemeanor, second is class A misdemeanor. Given promise to appear and plead guilty. Paid a fine.)
2019- possession of marijuana( class B misdemeanor. Arrested but bailed out. Went to court and did not plead. Was given a pretrial diversion term of 1 year no offenses)
No cases currently pending.
Did not enjoy being in the drunk tank at jail and got a good job offer that would require drug testing regularly, so I quit smoking shortly after being arrested. I haven't had any other charges since and those are the only charges on my record.
Do I have to have the misdemeanors expunged before trying to apply to carry, or just wait a certain amount of time? Or is it just a no-go if I have any drug arrests and/or convictions at all?
