Then it's best to list the arrest on the application, so they don't reject your application for making a false statement. A class C misdemeanor moving violation isn't a deal breaker, even if it was last week, so disclose, document and don't worry.

Re: Teen killed by Florida CHL'er

the lawyer of the shooter, Michael Dunn, said that Mr. Dunn saw a shotgun pointed at his jetta. that was the threat that supposedly happened. That sure changes the equation, although it still has nothing to do with the "stand your ground" law in Florida. I guess some "journalists&quo...

Re: CHL Renewal after license expires

For what it's worth, Friday is 5 weeks since DPS got all my stuff in the mail. When the system was finally updated about 3 weeks in, it shows everything done with the exception of background check review and printing, but it's said that for nearly 2 weeks. I have 3-4 weeks for renewal processing in...

That sounds like at least 4 people who need to be out of a job, including loss of all government pensions.

Re: 2013 Legislative Section is now open

I don't understand the urge to clarify something that's already crystal clear. I think it would be like spending effort to push through a law that says people can't be arrested for drunk driving if they're not operating a vehicle.

Re: CHL Renewal after license expires

Re: Wounded Warrior Project - Anti2A Org

I guess I could give them a little leeway on the amount spent on fundraising depending on how much they do raise. Spending more on fundraising to gain more donations isn't as bad as spending $320k/year to the CEO in my opinion. As Lee Corso would say, "Not so fast my friend!" I did some m...
