Hey Ellington, I'm sorry to say that I don't know the exact answer to your question, but I wanted to say two things about your post- 1. Nice weapon choice! and, 2. I would say that IF you got the gun legally, then you have a good shot at the permit. I don't figure they would have approved you for the gun, if your past was such an issue. Keep the faith and give it a shot (so to speak!). All they can do is say- no! Maybe wait to complete the costly classwork part until they give you the go ahead? Other's here are much more knowledgeable then I on these things cause I'm pretty new to it all, so I'll wait with you to hear their answers. Take care, Pete D.---
