Question regarding ccw permit and arrests.

[TylerC]

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

Lol, the agg assault with a firearm is quite ironic isn't it? I would hope this is one of the things that gets permits denied, otherwise why even do a background check.

 

[TylerC]

I don't find it ironic at all actually, note that I wasn't found guilty of the charge. Like I said originally, I'm not seeking judgment, just advice from someone that ACTUALLY knows the answer to my question.

 

[MTregre]

Charged and convicted are two separate things of course. I don't know how it will go, but I assume that's why they ask for the disposition.

Let us know how it goes, I cant speculate or help.

Call 225-925-4867 and ask before taking a CHP class.

The Laws are crazy. I've come across to many "official" people that should have known certain laws backwards and forwards and didn't. I absolutely wouldn't take anyone's word for it here.
Best bet is to call like he ^^^ mentioned.
Good Luck !!

I have no input as what causes denials or approvals. Not real sure those in the permits office have hard rules.

However I know one man that did time for Neg Homicide and got a permit. I have a relative that was denied for a sexual offense in which he was 18 and was friendly in a consensual way with a 17 yr old girl. Her parents filed and he was arrested. No jail time but had to register as an offender for 15 yrs. Over 20 yrs later, he cannot own a firearm or get a permit.

Why does one have a major offense get a permit and another is slapped on the wrist and denied?

Just supply ALL required documents and do not lie on the app.

 

[Bigchillin83]

Mike simenoux just went to jail for lie on a concealed carry app and a lic plate app.. I wouldn't try it, if they don't catch you now, they will catch you later, and if you lie about it you gotta remember the lie, and always build on it with other lies, gets to confusing!!! I would submit everything I could

 

[BeardedPatriot38]

How much time did they give him?

I am having to get a disposition for a Criminal Mischief charge from 1973 for my CHL. PITA, but it is on my background check, and I have to take care of it before they will issue. Funny thing, Secret Service didn't mention it, but the CHL people did.

Because at least in southern Louisiana, it truly depends on who you are, who you know, and what influence you have. Just the way it works. Application and enforcement of the law IS NOT always fair and equal as it was intended.

How does the guy with the neg homocide conviction even own a firearm period? Convicted felons = no firearm ownership period. Unless his conviction was overturned, or he was granted a full pardon.

Because the Secret Service has the ability and tools to look into themselves. They most likely didn't say anything because they vetted you themselves.

I have mixed opinions on the requirements for the CCL. I like to know sane people are able to get one, but if you can buy a gun, you're not "sane enough" to carry it???

Someone who isn't in jail, not a convicted felon, and can legally buy a gun shouldn't need to yet again prove their innocence to practice a right. Just how it rubs me, there may be far more to the story than what I can see.

Don't discount that all of these inconsistencies in interpretation and/or enforcement of various firearm laws are purposefully being orchestrated from the feds; who get their marching orders from the Justice Dept.; who gets their marching orders from the Dumbass!!

And may I go you one further, MTregre; not only have to prove their INNOCENCE to practice a right, but also have to PAY money to practice what is supposed to be a "right". Sorry, seems all my posts lately are a bit of a rant.

 

[Gator 45/70]

The oblivious answer would be go back to Tennessee and renew your permit there.

Yes

I see what your saying, let me play devils advocate - the fee is for the 'service' they provide you by "vetting" your neighbor and push your paper. Not to mention the printing of the "proof" they vetted you.
I mean, tech, we can say the simple fact sales taxes are applied to firearms and ammunition amount to paying for your right...

I say this while still on the bench about whether I favor or disfavor constitutional CC.
