On the MD application for a handgun permit (to carry a concealed weapon) it asks you to list if you have ever been arrested for a violation of a criminal law and if you have ever been charged with the violation of any crime.
I was arrested for a violation of a criminal law and had three charges brought against me 5 years ago. The state did NOT prosecute me (nolle pros) and dropped all three charges (DUI/DWI/Negligent Driving). A few months after the court date (4.5 years ago) I had all police records and court records expunged (and I have the proof of this).
Do I need to answer yes to those two questions (arrested and charged) considering all police and court records pertaining to that incident were expunged?
I know that whoever answers this question is most likely not a lawyer and I will NOT rely upon your answer as legal advice. Thank you in advance for your help!
