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.
