CCW Denied any hope?

(1/9) > >>

Kingballs:
I have my appeal this month I was denied for a marijuana ticket 9 years ago. Is there any hope for me has anyone had a denial overturned for anything along he has lines? The state law reads 10 years must pass on the ticket but I must try to win. Dose anyone have any good arguments I could use? My record is clean except for this dam ticket.

Thanks

Nine years is soooo long. Can't someone commit rape and get through the punishment period quicker? Geez!

I think what he means is: you did the crime, now you have to do the time.

It is only one more year to wait. Your chances of successfully contesting this denial are slim, and would be time consuming and inevitably expensive. I advise patience, and continue to be a law abiding citizen.

It is just one of those things. I recently had a female approach me and ask me about purchasing and owning a handgun. Everything was the standard blah blah blah, then she mentioned that her live in boyfriend was a felon. I discussed with her the legal risks, the loose legal definition of possession, possibility of her being portrayed as a straw purchaser in court, etc, etc.

I told her that her only REAL option would to also purchase a quality safe to keep the weapon in and do not allow her boyfriend access to the safe, do not take him to the range with you, do not have him and the weapon in the car at the same time, etc, etc.

She was still pondering it, but I ended up telling her that by choosing to live with a felon, she has effectively waived her right to firearms ownership.

I also told her that before doing anything, even applying for a purchase permit, she should consult an attorney.

Not disagreeing with anything that has been said I do have a question.  You said ticket, were you just ticketed and it ended up being dropped, or reduced to something else, or did you plead guilty, no contest, or were convicted?  The reason I ask is the law was just changed to require a conviction not just a ticket as it had been in the past.  This bill carried an emergency measure so it went into effect as soon as the Governor signed it.

NENick:
I just re-read my post and now it doesn't make any sense to me... What I was getting at is - a nine year block on getting a permit because of pot sure seems extreme.
