I believe this is correct.ScottDLS wrote:A Misdemeanor DV deferred adjudication is not a federal bar to firearm ownership. After 5 years it's not a bar to LTC either.Captain Matt wrote:Agreed. He can't say 100% it is DA but neither can you say 100% it isn't.

So at this point let's wait until he comes back with the answer to confirm it.
However, until the OP knows for sure, I think he should be very careful about carrying a firearm.
OP, your situation sounds similar to mine.
Back in 2003 I was going through an ugly divorce and my vindictive ex-wife filed false DV charges against me.
Without going into details - I took Deferred Adjudication for a misdemeanor A DV charge on poor advice from my lawyer (you get what you pay for).
Never been in any kind of trouble before or since.
Fast forward to 2015 - I decided to apply for my CHL not knowing if I would be able to get it or not.
Submitted my paperwork and 4 weeks later I had my plastic.
If you did take deferred adjudication, you will have to wait the required amount of time before applying for your CHL/LTC.
