39. lifetime ban on ccw is wrong

Oct 2014

Heres my situation...I was 22 years old at a birthday party with family...things got outta hand and me and a family member had a fight...I got a domestic violence charge out of it...fast forward 15 years..have never been in trouble since that incident...been 15 years and I cannot get a ccw permit because of the dv charge from 15 years ago...I am no criminal..its not fair,now I cannot ever obtain a gun...the dv was a misdemeanor by the way not a felony...whats sad is a guy can get a felony expunged,and get a ccw and be a normal citizen..not me tho...its really not fair..it needs to be addressed...I feel that if 10-15 years pass by that you have paid your debt to society...if convicts and criminals can have a clean slate...so should I be able too...
