I have to disagree based on my personal experiences.MSP and the Attorney General (Frosh) consider PBJ to be a CONVICTION.
Innocent people cannot be ordered to serve a period of probation.
PBJ requires a guilty plea in most Maryland courts, or the case goes to trial and a final judgment.
That’s State policy until someone takes the question to trial in a civil lawsuit.
They do not consider it a conviction if they did lots of folks including me would not have their HQL nor would we have been able to purchase multiple regulated firearms in this State without having anything expunged.
And the final Verdict on my court paperwork says Probation before Judgement.
Final Disposition says Dismissed, this appears after probation is done.
When a plea is stricken it is stricken it no longer applies.
And yes it would be a lawsuit if I was denied W&C considering I have my HQL and have made multiple purchases without having record expunged.
And yes Honesty on the applications is the best policy.
