Hello all I am new to the forum. I live in West Haven, Ct and am planning on applying for a pistol permit. I took the NRA class today and had some questions regarding the application. My previous record issues is as follows = I am currently 39 years old and in approx 1995 (23 yrs old) I was arrested for an altercation even though I was defending myself from someone. We both went to the courthouse at a later date and met with someone (a prosecutor maybe ? idk) and they aggreed that being the other person in the fight and I agreed that we were ok with each other the charges were dropped. I assume I should put on the application that I was arrested for this instance but am not totally sure. The next thing is in 1996 I was a bit of a speed freak lets say and got charged with reckless driving Too high of speed and failure to adhere to police officer signal. I went to court and I don't know at this time what the charges were dropped too but I lost my license for I believe 3 months. Now on the pistol permit they ask Have you ever been CONVICTED under the laws of this state, federal law or the laws of another jurisdiction. I don't know if they mean convicted of a felony, moving violations, etc so I am not sure what I should write down in that area being that it doesn't specify the typical conviocted of a felony. Thanks for any information or help/suggestions you can give to me. Oh and also does either of those previous issues eliminate me from getting the permit ?
Thanks
