Q: Can I apply for a weapons carrying license, if i got charged with reckless conduct twice? Misdemeanor. March 10,2015
A: Misdemeanors do not impact your ability to have a concealed carry license. If you have family violence-based misdemeanor convictions, then you will not be able to own a firearm at all.
A: Yes, only a conviction for a felony or a domestic violence misdemeanor disqualify you from possessing a firearm. If you apply for a carrying concealed license and you are rejected the probate court is supposed to provide you with a copy of your criminal history that disqualifies you. Many times an open charge, one that is not resolved can result in a denial, but which you can successfully appeal to obtain a license.
