So here's my story...
bought a handgun in MD 2-3 years ago. When I filled out my app I put No to arrest, charge, convicted. This was a mistake it should have been YES to arrest and charge but NO to convicted (PBJ). I called MSP and talked to them, letting them know I didn't intentionally lie... They reviewed my app over the phone and asked about the arrest (possession/paraphernalia) only got changed with paraphernalia though and that was PBJ when I was 20 (got the gun when I was 27....they said it wouldn't be a problem. However today when I went to the gun show they said if you answer yes to any of those they won't submit the app to MSP....I called MSP and they said the approve/deny was based on what jail time you "could have had" and it doesn't necessarily disqualify you. I don't want to lie on the app but two gun stores are saying they won't submit if you been arrested (and got PBJ) and MSP says its fine however is the FFL's choice...but you can't go to MSP to buy a gun.
My friend is the in the same boat but his arrest was pre18 years old. Again he doesn't want to lie but the FFl's are saying no while MSP is saying it’s ok (based on the charge)...
what to do? He wants a handgun and I want an Hbar AR....
