I do hope you spend a lot more time on here researching and learning before carrying.

b4aftr,

thank you for the life lesson and lecture. Some of us hadn't found this board before we submitted our apps. And just weren't sure what to put there. If our app is found to be in error it will be fixed. It may be as simple as contacting the county to get a record or, maybe, we will be denied. that is on us and not you.

the OP asked a simple question. I think he would prefer an answer from someone with similar experience and not get lectured.

Regards,

I too have a couple of arrests... one for an unpaid speeding ticket and one for a public intoxication. The former more than 30 years ago and the latter about 20 years ago. I do not remember nor do I have any records of the exact dates since both involved just paying the ticket. I.e., No court appearance, etc, etc. I did not put these on my app because I didn't have the information to put them there.

I called and asked if I needed to amend my app to include these and they said, no, that those aren't serious, or something to that effect. But they also said that if they needed something from me they would let me know. If I have to provide them my recollection then I will. If I have to contact the counties where this occurred to get some final disposition then I will.

I'm coming up on my 30 day mark since I submitted my app. I expect to either get approved soon or to get a letter requesting more info.

You should be fine as long as it isn't a class "A" or "B" misdemeanor or a felony.
