Will I be approved ?

I was simply letting him know his legal options. I don't care for the Utah option myself but at least until May it is there. Would you rather I with hold the information? I thought this forum was about sharing information.

Of course we should share and after a little research I found this,

A DUI conviction carries a 6 year non eligibility for a Utah CFP, the 6 years is counted from the day you end your probation on the DUI

So it looks even under the "lax" Utah requirements, he wouldn't be eligible anyways. People seem to think that they just hand them out like candy, but in reality it took longer for me to get my Utah CFP than it did my CHL. Yes the class time is shorter and the fees are less, but I'm not sure the actual requirements are much more lenient.

Thank you very much, and yes I do appreciate all the info. This is why I came to this forum, for answers,not to start any arguments. I do see why some people would choose the Utah CFP, its a way around some stricter TX laws. But I wanted to now about me having any problems here in TX. It looks like I will wait a while untill I am within the legal time frame. Thanks Again, I really appreciate all your time and replies.

I don't think you're eligible for the Utah license. Utah really frowns on alcohol crimes like DWI.

53-5-704 (2) (a)
The bureau may deny, suspend, or revoke a concealed firearm permit if the applicant or permit holder:
(i) has been or is convicted of a felony;
(ii) has been or is convicted of a crime of violence;
(iii) has been or is convicted of an offense involving the use of alcohol;
(iv) has been or is convicted of an offense involving the unlawful use of narcotics or other controlled substances;
(v) has been or is convicted of an offense involving moral turpitude;
(vi) has been or is convicted of an offense involving domestic violence;
(vii) has been or is adjudicated by a state or federal court as mentally incompetent, unless the adjudication has been withdrawn or reversed; and
(viii) is not qualified to purchase and possess a firearm pursuant to Section 76-10-503 and federal law.

I don't see a six year limit for any of these disqualifications but I'm not a Utah instructor or lawyer.
