Do I answer or not?

[Bookers]

Hello all I am a newbie.

24 years ago I had a few (nickle and dime stuff) charges .

This was in another state, I was 19 and younger. All were conditional discharge or time served ie, waiting 40 hrs for arraignment.

I used to work for the city of NY and went back to the same judge and had them sealed or I got relief from civil disablilties for all of them

I have a friend that ran my name through the system in PA nothing, clean.
I paid Intelius online national and state of NY Criminal Background check, Ie dob and name. Nothing Clean. ok now for the questions.

When I go to purchase a firearm one of the questions is ever been convicted of controlled substance. yes or No
I was told if I answer no and they find it I am now a FELON! Go figure.
I am also coming up on 2 weeks since I applied for my ccw.

any help?? Thank you in Advance.

I can't answer your questions in regards to the legal issues, but before someone else points it out i just wanted to let you know that in PA its not a CCW, its a Licence to Carry Firearms (LTCF).

Get a lawyer. One who knows gun laws and drug laws. Don't try to buy a gun until you've made absolutely sure you won't get into trouble.

Ok Thank you LTCF I should find out yes or no for that one soon.


but when I went to purchase a firearm they showed me the form it asks that question. If I knew it whether it will show up I have my own answer LOL

OK thank you....See I also did another dumb thing. I won an auction and I will get a bad rating if I dont go through with it. I will have to call him and explain Im still waiting for Ltcf approval


I jumped into this ignorantly.

You don't need to have a LTCF in order to purchase a firearm, though the check process for either is similar. The requirements for a LTCF are actually a bit tighter, so it's possible to pass the check for a firearm purchase, and be denied a LTCF.

What you need to understand in relation to answering this question on the PICS form, is do you believe you are able to answer that question no. I know that if I were in a similar situation, I would answer no. If it came back that there was something on my record, that I thought was not there due to being told it was just like it never happened, I would honestly be able to deny wrong doing. Intentionally lying on that form is a crime, answering to the best of your belief is not, IMHO.

before you jump up and call him, why not tell what gun it is and see if someone here might want to buy it for selling price?
