Don't think you were denied for a misdemeanor retail theft conviction. I would hire an attorney who specialized in PA Gun laws and get him to figure out why you were denied and possibly help you get your rights back. There are several attorneys on this forum that can help you.

Re: Denied purchase
Why not? There are several statutory variables that *would* make it a prohibiting conviction, including an M1 option. It is certainly possible, from a legal standpoint.
(b) Grading.--
(1) Retail theft constitutes a:
(i) Summary offense when the offense is a first offense and the value of the merchandise is less than $150.
(ii) Misdemeanor of the second degree when the offense is a second offense and the value of the merchandise is less than $150.
(iii) Misdemeanor of the first degree when the offense is a first or second offense and the value of the merchandise is $150 or more.
(iv) Felony of the third degree when the offense is a third or subsequent offense, regardless of the value of the merchandise.
(v) Felony of the third degree when the amount involved exceeds $1,000 or if the merchandise involved is a firearm or a motor vehicle.Get your "Guns Save Lives" stickers today! PM for more info.

If your conviction was a first degree misdemeanor, you're beat.
