Q: Gun license put on hold, need some guidance
I was put on hold for old juvenile cases which I'm confused about, because I don't think I was charged as in adult because all the arrest type says juvenile arrest. I was 16 at the time back in 2006 in California. Do any good lawyer know what should do?
A: First, you need to pull your criminal background so that you know what is out there. Start in Georgia, if you are here, then go to California and pull that one. If there is anything on it, you need to speak with an attorney in the state showing something in your background about whether expungement of your arrest is an option. This depends on the disposition of the case as well as the respective state's law. Good luck to you.

A: Ask for the probate judge to issue a ruling on the license application, if denied then file an appeal. I would also recommend getting a copy of your criminal history from both states to see if something is inaccurate on your history that can be corrected.
