Disorderly Conduct and LCTF / Pistol Purchase

[RZ-45 Heritage]

About a year and a half ago I was caught at a party where people were drinking. I was a DD for one of the people there and the cops tried to charge me with an underage, even though I was not drinking, which was succesfully argued down to a disorderly conduct. All fines were paid and no further incidents have happened since. I have read some threads where a DC has held up some other's approval and I was wondering if I would face the same.

I think I saw the exact same situation described a month or two ago.

No, disorderly conduct is a summary offense and it is not listed in §6105(b). They could always try to pull the "character and reputation" BS on the LTCF app, though.

IANAL.

Why would you plead guilty to something you didn't do? I am always amazed at people who admit guilt to something they didn't do...blows me away!

Some disorderly conducts are M3's and depending on the type of M3 disorderly can be prohibitive. IE, drugs and domestic violence, etc.

Most DO's are summary offenses and I'm willing to bet that a significant amount of members here have had a summary DO at some point in their life.
