    Question Can you get a Class 3, with misdemeanors on record

    A few years back I led a nefarious life style. I had been arrested for criminal trespass, which led to ARD and was later expunged from my record. I have had 2 first offenses of misdemeanor DUI(something to do with length of time between them, and when the law was changed). The 2 DUI are really the only thing on my record and occurred 6 years apart, and that was over 9 years ago. And I received a citation after a fight one time which was later dismissed.

    To quote Hank Williams Jr., All my rowdy friends have settled down.

    I think that would sound like alot to people who are never in any type of trouble, but seriously I have known guys who were a one first name basis the local PD.

    Do any y'all know, would these things preclude me from owning a class 3 weapon?

    If you are able to purchase a Title I (normal) firearm, you should be able to purchase NFA. I don't believe the actual criminal history check is any different, there's just a lot more paperwork.
