So as far as past non-convictions....

[Quas]

How do I find these out so my CC will not be denied? I have a few thanks to friends n family

Hope this helps:

Q. I was arrested but the charges were dropped, do I still need an arrest disposition?

A. Yes, all arrest or summons must be listed on your application. Furthermore, you must provide a certified true copy of the court minutes, which reflects the final disposition of the charge and submit it with your application.

(LAC 55:I:1307.7 & 8)

Q. Where do I get a copy of my arrest disposition?

A. The records may be obtained from the Clerk of Court or District Attorney of the parish in which the arrest or prosecution occurred. If you were charged with a violation of a municipal ordinance, the disposition may be obtained from the City Clerk of Court or City Prosecutor.

Well ****, I guess I'll have to go to about 15 different Parishes/cities/counties/municipalities.... screw it, I'll just take my chances of ever being made out.

I wouldn't play around with them. When you send the app. in and sign the deal below they could burn your ass.

15?! You got accused of going on a crime spree?

Well don't even bother filling out the forms, paying the money, and waiting for them to deny you.

What they said.

 

[Morgan Allison]

You don't have to actually, physically, go to all those parishes. Call them up or write them letters. I'd call first, see if there are any fees involved, then write a letter with a money order for the proper amount. It's a pain in the ass and takes some time, but you can have it all ironed out in a couple of weeks.

So how do you handle it if the record is sealed and a copy of the arrest disposition is unobtainable?

 

[Nick]

So how do you handle it if the record is sealed and a copy of the arrest disposition is unobtainable?

if it concerns you, it can't be sealed from you. There may be certain information that won't be released, such as names of minors etc., those items will be marked out on the copy that you receive but the remaining info will be sufficient. If they still deny you a copy I would request a listing of those arrests on letterhead and a statement that the disposition can not be released and turn that in in lieu of the actual disposition - at worst they can't deny you for not telling them.

Like Nick said, if it has your name on it they should have to give you a copy. If they refuse, I would contact LA CHP and ask how to proceed via their guidelines.

Looking at this, I have a question. Say you were arrested and charged, but the charges were thrown out before ever appearing in court. How would you get a court disposition and minutes for that?
Also, what can actually cause a ccw application to be denied?

yes, things with your name can be withheld. Juvenile records most noteably. Not saying there is "no way" to get them, but generally they are not released, even to you.

However, if that is the case, or if they cannot find the file, or it burnt up, or whatever, all you need is some form of documentation from them stating that. this has been posed to LSP several times and I have always gotten the same response and it has worked out thus far for all my students.


Edman, read the statute and it tells you exactly what would cause you to be denied, or go to the actual website and educate yourself with the facts.

Is it true that if the state police run you thru ncic when stopped carrying a handgun, and you come back all clear you would qualify for a CHP? I think the police term would be running someone 6x6?

First off, all LEO have access to NCIC (national Crime Information Center). The basic answer is normally so, from a criminal perspective. However, there is a chance that you were arrested for something in another state that is not reflected in NCIC or is reflected as a misdemeanor there that would be a felony here or vice versa.

Furthermore, the fact that you were carrying a handgun has nothing to do with it.

Say you are pulled over for speeding. Generally, the LEO will run your plate to see if the car is stolen. Depending on policy and officer discretion, he will run your DL or Name/sex/race/dob to check for warrants. That will normally be done through local databases. There are several databases in the state such as MOTIONS (NOLA) ARMMS(JP, ORLEANS, ETC), and a few others. Again, this is local arrest information. Depending on the circumstances, an arrest by NOPD in NOLA may or may not show on an ARMMS check in Metairie...normally not.

NCIC is generally used either as a matter of policy, or for further investigation into someone's criminal history. if I stop you for speeding, and you have California plates with a Nebraska ID, and you are acting shady, i will generally run you through NCIC.

GUNS and stuff are run through NCIC to check for stolen.

SO, for the most part, if you have a clearNCIC, you are good to go, unless you are crazy, a drug head, alcoholic, beat your wife, or have a restraining order. Just saying.

NO it is NOT true, if I'm run through ncic I will come back All clear(No Wants or Warrents) However I DO NOT qualify for a CHP, due to one past arrest. ( I think what he means by "coming back All Clear" is that it (ncic) shows he has No criminal record). There is a difference.

Oh, come on, Man! That gives the rest of us CCW holders a bad name!

But when you send in ur chp app, i thought all they did was ran you ncic and if it comes back clean you are approved, barring no claims in the past convictions area that you filled out yourself.
I could definately be wrong, but it was my belief that if u can legally posess a handgun in louisiana and you take a course, you can get a CHP as it is a shall grant state, no?

You are wrong. Firefighter is a convicted drug felon yet according to him all time and requirements have been met, so he can have a gun.

NCIC does two main things...gives your history and advises of any active wants.

"Clean" generally means no arrest record as in you have never been arrested.

However, there are issues other than arrest record that would prevent you from getting a CHP.

Shall grant simply means you do not have to justify a need. if you meet the requirements, it is automatic.

 

[Plinky]

I get that there are other reasons such as mental illness etc, but i mean as far as criminal background how is it checked before issuing a CHP?

NCIC and local databases, unless you have lived in another state then a request is sent to the FBI for a more thorough search, and I have no idea what that means.
