So I'm trying to convince my whole family, immediate and extended, to get their licenses with me. So far only my wife and brother have agreed (the wife grudgingly). As it turns out my brother has 2 misdemeanor charges on his record. One for selling paraphernalia which I think is irrelevant (glass pipes at a Phish concert for a store he worked at in NH) and the other I think was a possession charge when he was in high school (over 10 years ago) which is relevant to question 5 on the firearms application. Given that they are misdemeanors would he be denied out right for answering yes on 5 or just restricted from ALP for suitability reasons?
For myself I don't have a criminal record but I did have my license suspended for failing to pay a fine. Not normally a concern but I didn't know about the suspension until 4 years after the fact when I tried to get my license in a new state. That got me thinking, what if for some reason some state (I travel a lot for work) decided to suspend my license or found me guilty of something trivial in absentia like running a toll in a rental car and issued a bench warrant (unlikely for a traffic violation I know but hypothetically speaking) how is the best way to go about finding out if there were an outstanding warrant somewhere? I know I'm probably being overly paranoid but with the "knowingly providing false information" warning on the application and a denial being almost a permanent mark against me I can't help it.
