Thank you for the responses. And im sorry to hear youve had to expierence Illinois. Ill never forget the newpaper headline celebrating Rockford lllinois going nearly 3 weeks without a shooting saying that was the longest in years... ill have to contact my attorney for the paperwork since the prosecution granted me permission to move to Texas prior to court. But I'll have them fax me anything they have if it will help. Also I am eligible for expungement it was just a matter of time and money being worth the effort to file for it. I guess I was hoping I wouldn't need to.

Background, for all other qualifications I am eligible for a Texas LTC. I moved here from Illinois and am now a Texas resident with a Texas driver's license and address. The issue I can't seem to find an answer too, I was arrested in Illinois about 2- years ago for a misdeamnor for unlawful possession of ammunition. Long story short. The ammo was legal for my father and it was in his truck. Unfortunately I was driving the vehicle so I was arrested after getting stuck in the snow and asking an officer for help. Illinois is the only state i know of that requires a special permit to be in possession of ammo. When I went to court the whole thing was kind of shrugged off and they just told me to stay out of trouble for 60 days and it was dissmised. Which I believe counts as deferred adjudication.. Since this is considered a conviction in terms of LTC may I Still be eligible since the "crime" is not considered a crime in Texas?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Ps it was a small box of .22 rounds with no gun, Illinois laws are absurd. I'm happy to be living in the great state of Texas!
