Oh, I agree that it will be used against us, but if you go back and read it, it was NOT an error... the father forgot to check boxes and the application was denied until everything was filled out properly. There is nothing that limits the age of the application.

The program is designed to keep guns away from convicted felons, those convicted of domestic battery or domestic violence and anyone subject to an active Order of Protection.
