Re: Utah may beat Burnam to the punch

sjfcontrol wrote:Be aware that the "class B misdemeanor" that is charged could be for something as innocent as flipping off a driver, or swearing in public. These are Disorderly conduct charges, and can take YEARS to resolve thru the court system. They are also OFTEN used by people to "punish" someone else who hasn't actually committed ANY crime. Don't like your neighbor? Accuse him of "mooning" you. In the meantime, no CHL for you. In fact, if you move around a lot, you can even have your CHL revoked by forgetting to inform DPS of you new address within 30 days, three times.

And besides, why NOT issue the license in the meantime? You haven't been convicted of anything.
Just for clarification, disorderly conduct is a Class C Misdemeanor, except for the offenses involving display or discharge of a firearm, in which case they are Class B Misdemeanors.

AND, Utah also will not issue the license if you have any current charges pending against you. You have to get those cleared up first, just like Texas.

Re: Utah may beat Burnam to the punch

You can't get a Utah CFP with a crimnal record either. Utah just defines "convicted" a little differently than Texas when it comes to deferred adjudication.
