For future reference the FOAC has a list of pro gun lawyers on their website which may or may not be helpful in addition to the resources already provided.

Re: Desperately seeking lawyer to help with PICS challenge
Just brought up the PSP challenge form and read it. In the list of prohibiting offenses, there is "Theft by unlawful taking or disposition, upon conviction of the second felony offense".
To me, that seems to say the applicant is allowed one felony theft conviction but not two. I doubt that's what it means, but I can see why a challenger has reason to be nervous about submitting it.
There is also provision for knowingly falsifying information. Knowingly can enter the "should have known" theorized by the reviewer.There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Re: Desperately seeking lawyer to help with PICS challenge
Every time you fill out the forms, you are putting in writing your claims to the truth. Often, people are wrong about the details. And often, the people being criminally prosecuted for false written statements to state officials, are those who sent in the Challenge Form.
It's counter-intuitive. The people who did the "try and see if the state knows" thing, are the least likely to send in the Challenge. The people who genuinely are confused, or who genuinely believed that the small criminal case 15 years ago must have been less than a year, because they served no time at all, THOSE folks send in the Challenge form. And then they get prosecuted.
So, somewhere between $5,000 and $30,000 later, after they finish their legal defense, they probably won't go to jail if convicted. But they may not be gun owners ever again.
So, getting some certainty BEFORE you commit yourself is worth some time and money. A good lawyer who handles firearm issues can go over the forms and the laws and your history, better than most non-lawyers can.
And no, you don't have to have ever been arrested to be a prohibited person.Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com
