My understanding is that the offense itself will not be a problem. The fact that you did not disclose COULD be a problem. I have heard of some cases where they just give you the opportunity to provide final disposition and there are other cases where the application is denied due to failure to disclose. I don't have any first hand (or second hand for that matter) information. The instructor in our class gave us examples of both things happening to his students.Gunsmoke wrote:I have a question regarding a past arrest record in reference to applying for a CHL. As I intrepid the questions, the focus is on rather or not you have been arrested and convicted of a felony and have had any misdemeanors in the last 10 years. To both of those questions the answer is no. However about 28-30 years ago I was arrested for petty theft which resulted in being expelled from the state of Kansas for 2 years. I didn’t actually steal anything. The 2 year thing was to satisfy the prosecutor. The other charge was for false information to an officer which I did do in an attempt to protect someone else. That was a stupid mistake on my part. I paid a fine and that was that. Anyway my point is that I didn’t feel these issues were relevant to mention in the application since the focus didn’t, in my interpidtation, apply to these offences because of time and minor severity. Was I right? I was honestly not trying to mislead anyone.
For the OP, I sent in my disposition with my app, things went through without a hitch. My arrest was similar to yours, unpaid traffic ticket that went to warrent and I was detained after a traffic stop.
