Re: UPDATE: Texas CHL Forum, Inc. -- Education & Advocacy

This was dismissed and set aside in 1983 but the way the current laws read I don't qualify for a CHL. People who accepted deferred adjudication are in the same boat. Those of us who are in this status could benefit by changes in the laws to acknowledge that our convictions have been defered or set aside. This would surely bring the numbers up of CHL and their voices. Any push for change would be appreciated.

Also, I am a Democrat. Many Democrats are shooters and CHLs. It would also get the numbers up if the stereotypes could be dropped and let us all be identified as pro-gun and responsible gun owners. No need to alienate your advocates here.

Thanks-

Ok I am confused I was told by the DPS that if you have a deffered adjudicated that is over 10 years old then you would qualify as long as it was not a crime against a individual. Is this wrong? I know you have to have completed it and all be dismissed.
