I would like to submit my application for my Virginia CHP but am hesitant due to some issues in my past.
I had a problem with alcohol in my youth (20's) I was able to get myself back up on the saddle and move on with my life sober . My drinking did bring me into contact with Fairfax Co. PD however. In 1982 -1983 I got 2 public intoxication (by the way these are very easy to get just walking down the sidewalk after midnight) and 1 DUI.
I have had nothing on my record since 1983.
The first time I wanted to buy a gun I was denied by Fairfax (In 2001)This was back when the county had the waiting period and did their own check. I went over to Loudon and had no problem.
I do OC often but as we all know there are times that this is difficult.
I assume that I will be denied a CHP, I think you can get a hearing and perhaps bring in some character references. I looked into getting my recored "expunged" but was told that that may not help. So the denial hearing may be my only way. I have all my paperwork ready. Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks for listening,
Marcus
