Howdy everyone. I've had a handgun carry permit from my home state of Tennessee for 7 years now. It's approaching expiration and I've decided to stay in Louisiana and get a CCW permit here.
The application states all arrests must be listed in detail with minute reports and I'm worried this may cause an issue. Please reserve judgment but I've been arrested twice here. The first was a weed possession charge for which I completed a diversion course. The second time was aggravated assault with a firearm which was dropped to simple assault. I was given probation which has long since been completed. They also made me surrender the pistol they took from my locked truck after the arrest.
My question is will these arrests get my application denied? I don't want to invest the time and funds just to be told I can't get it. I researched before posting and the only thing I've seen referenced are denials for DUIs and domestic violence, but I figured someone here might be able to clarify. Thanks
