In Philly,,,,, they'll probably try to get you on a "character" clause. Make sure you have ALL the paperwork from the incident and you can dispute their decision, should that be the way it works out.
Just fill out the paper work honestly and see what happens.
Good Luck.George,

Re: Obtaining LTCF Phila Questions ?
I have a misdemeanor or 2 from TN, and I got my permit and can legally do all the gun stuff. My charges (If I remember correctly) were retarding the passage of mail, and improper storage of gunpowder. I was 18 at the time, and that was over 20 years ago. I have no idea what class or anything those charges were, but apparently they were nothign to stop from getting a LTCF. I would just apply for it and let it ride. See what happens
