question on handgun permit

[johnjw77]

Ok so I havent even attempted to get another permit but id like to find out whatever info I can before walking into the local sheriffs office and applying for a permit only to get denied. I actually had my permit at one time but being the retarded teenager I was I lost it and my glock 23 in a plea agreement when I got slapped with a felony. Eighteen months later I got the felony dropped down to a misdemeanor and am unsure if my chances of having a permit again are gone out the window. Anyone know anything about this?

ISP is the one that will determine if you are eligible for a permit.

Well, I'm sure if they have questions about your record, they (local)will ask. The nice lady at Hammond PD told me this when I asked her a slew of questions. (I was worried I would get denied too) She flashed me a little list of names (appointments) and some were highlighted. Those were the people she had questions for.

And I'm just guessing here, but I believe the law says something like, never been charged with a felony, or a mis. that would get you a year or more in the clink. Also domestic violence, misuse of a gun, unstable mental history can/will get you disqualified. So, it depends on your end result and what you were charged with. (?) <~ Again, guessing through common sense, so I am here to be righted.

it was a possesion charge and I believe it stands at a class A miss now. I didnt recieve a year in the clink but I very well could have. Im guessing the first offense helped out alot, but then again johnson county doesnt seem to really care what offense your on. I was gonna go apply at the local county station but ive been told maybe I should go downtown which is where I got it the first time.

You apply at the office of the department that would respond if you called 911. Also, it's not that you were sentenced to a year or more, but that the crime you got busted for could have gotten you that long.

I'd say contact ISP and ask them. They're the final authority anyway.
