Question about PICS form question 11.C

[Corsair19955]

I know this thread has been done a million times but I wanted to just ask to be safe with all the new gun law changes these days.

To keep this short i had an incident 5 years ago which I wont get into but will list the 2 and only charges on my record.

18 § 2701 §§ A1 M2 Simple Assault - Max of 2.00 Years
18 § 2705 M2 Recklessly Endangering Another Person

Was sentenced 1 to 23 months in county due to a no show lawyer and was out on parole after 30 days.

Now this has all been done and case closed 5+ years now and i am looking to get a shotgun for hunting.

From researching I should be OK to purchase, my question is on 11.C on the firearm form itself.
"Have you ever been convicted in any court of a Felony, or any other crime for which the judge could have imprisoned you for more than one year, even if you received a shorter sentence including probation? ( see instructions for Question 11.C )" Yes / NO

instructions say - Question 11.b - 12 - Generally, 18 U.S.C. 922(g) prohibits the shipment, transportation, receipt, or possession in or affecting interstate commerce of a firearm by one who; has been convicted of a felony in any Federal, State, or local court, or any other crime, punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year (((this does not include State misdemeanors punishable by imprisonment of two years or less))) is a fugitive from justice and so on etc...

I am not sure if I am to chose yes or no to this question? Can anyone please advise on this? I would appreciate it greatly.

your charges weren't felonies...I believe M2 is the highest you had. I believe you're screwed on being able to get an LCTF though!

[Corsair19955]

Correct, no felonies, two M2 Misdemeanors.

If you can't pass the LTCF process your not passing a 4473. Same questions...

Felonies actual go for a LTCF process because if they fail they can't get in trouble. If they did a PICS check in a gun store there in violation. I know your not a felon per your post but again applying at the Sheriff is a good start.

[Corsair19955]

I did not say I was going for a LTCF and from what I read any misdemeanor over a year is a denial for LTCF. Thanks for your response tho.

[bowkillpa]

I know re read what I added.....A LTCF is another way of knowing.

Not entirely the same. I think that most any sort of drug possession DQ's you from LTCF.
I'm also thinking that the nature of the crimes would trigger the Character Clause.

With the increased emphasis on prosecuting people who lie on a 4473,there should be a easier way to verify if you can pass a 4473 without actually attempting to buy a firearm.

Ain't that the truth! Rep lawman says none for you.
