    Florida only asks about DUIs in the last 5 years, here in Kansas it asks about 2 or more DUIs in the past 5 years. Hopefully I'll be picking up a PA LTCF when I come home for the 4th.

    The truth, otherwise they deny you for lying during the application process. Not to mention you have to sign that it is a sworn statement to a police officer and that lying could subject you to criminal prosecution.

    They consider it as a part of their investigation which by law they are supposed to conduct. The law is not clear on what that investigation should or shouldn't include. So Philly stretches it as far as they can.

    The law imposes no duty on the applicant, none, to answer any interview questions; the investigation is the responsibility of the issuing authority and not the responsibility of the applicant.

    Applicants are not obligated to have fingerprints taken either, do you consider that a stretch then? Those "stretches" of the law are nothing less than violations of the law.

    I'm not arguing with you. I'm just telling you that's the way it is. Philly interprets the law to be that they can conduct whatever investigation they want, including requiring a sworn statement to additional questions and taking fingerprints to run through a database. AFAIK, no judge has ruled what they are doing is illegal. Until then, our opinion about the legality of it is really moot.

    It's nothing but a trap or a trick. They know if the applicant has been arrested; that's part of their investigation. Asking is redundant and designed to trip people up, especially those who have had the arrest record expunged long ago and and truly have forgotten about whatever minor incident it was.

    Dangerous, violent people with serious impulse control issues should not have guns or carry them. Jaywalkers are OK (at least I'd hope we agree). What the left continues to do is push more and more otherwise innocuous conduct into the "likely dangerous with a gun" category to deny a LTCF or categorize as prohibited altogether.

    The folks on this thread who think a DUI or even lying about an arrest (and I'm not saying the OP did) should have anything to do with an LTCF application have been brainwashed by the government to fail to think for themselves and just say, well the rules are . . . .

    Without an overwhelmingly compelling reason to deny someone their God given rights to keep and bear arms, those who advocate for such a result absent such a reason are enemies of freedom.
