I was deemed an improper person even though the conviction wasn’t domestic, from what I’ve read and been told this isn’t correct.

A:
It sounds frustrating to have your Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit revoked, especially if your conviction was for battery and not specifically domestic battery or domestic violence. Generally, revocations for CCW permits are tied to convictions that fall under specific legal categories, such as domestic violence. However, certain states have broader definitions or additional criteria that may impact the eligibility for a CCW permit.
You may want to check the exact wording of the law in your state. Sometimes, even non-domestic battery charges can be grounds for a revocation if they are categorized under violent offenses or if the court deemed you an "improper person" based on other factors. Reviewing the official reason for your revocation can help clarify whether the decision aligns with the laws governing CCW permits in your area.
If you believe there has been a mistake or misunderstanding, you could consider appealing the decision or seeking guidance from a legal professional. They can provide advice tailored to your situation and help ensure your rights are being upheld. Understanding the specifics of your state's laws is key to resolving this issue effectively.
