Q: Can I appeal a Georgia WCL Denial? Incomplete Criminal History
I applied for my WCL in the state of Georgia, and i was denied for the history pulled indicating a Battery (Misdemeanor), Disposition: Informal Probation; Additional Information: "Need final disposition and police report, possible domestic violence."
I do not recall this event. I was 17 years old when it apparently happened. I was never placed on "informal probation" for this event or went to court. My father has a criminal history. Bipolar and abusive. Cops called before in my youth.
The denial letter is initialed by the judge indicating that "the applicants criminal history information is incomplete therefor the court cannot determine whether the applicant has met all the qualifications required under Georgia Law and the Applicants is ineligible to receive a weapons carry license..."
Is it possible to appeal this case to the court in Georgia? I have a federal background check i received this year when applying for a passport and it does NOT show this charge of battery.
A:
Sounds like the easier approach would be to get a certified copy of the disposition of the battery charge in question.
