Greetings -
I have a question that you may be able to help answer regarding obtaining a CHP.
In 1990, as a juvenile aged 15, I was adjudicated for felony theft (stupid, regrettable kid stuff). That record has since been expunged, and I have no further criminal record. As such I am a legal to own a firearm, and have owned several for a number of years.
I live in Douglas County and am interested in obtaining my CHP. Question 11 of the application reads: "Have you ever been adjudicated as a juvenile for a crime that would constitute a felony if committed by an adult or
attempt or conspiracy to commit a felony, under any state law or federal law?" Obviously the answer is yes although I am currently a legal firearms owner.
My question is, does answering this question 'yes' basically guarantee I'll be denied a CHP? I would hate to go through certification and pay the fees ($250+ for both) only to be denied. The obvious course of action is to call Bob Britton - the Douglas County official who issues CHPs - but I've tried that a number of times and I have not had my calls returned. I'm sure they are quite busy.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
