I was, however, very annoyed with the CHP application process, which took MONTHS, and forced me to jump through several hoops (and wait some more) to clear up something in my background that should have been no problem for a CHP. Ultimately, all my hoop-jumping was for nothing, because they judged the final result out of context of all the crap and affidavits they made me go through.
If you dont mind going into further detail, I was wondering if its because you were "adjudicated" as a minor.
The CBI will not grant a CHL for people who have even had a minor juvenile run in with the law.
Yet drunk drivers and other adult misdemeanors are somehow okay with them.
Keep in mind, the legal term adjudicated just means "a legal process with an outcome". So you may not even have been convicted in juvenile court and they will STILL deny you. Even with firearm purchases.
When I lived in CO, I bought three rifles and one handgun, then all of a sudden one day I was denied and that was CBI's reason. What a crock of ****!
I was never even convicted of anything in my entire life. I was merely charged as a juvenile and they nolle prossed it. Wasn't even in the state if Colorado either.
I remember when I went to CBI to raise hell about it, I asked the woman officer "So if an 90 year old got charged with a crime while he was a juvenile 75 years ago, and never was convicted of anything you (CBI) would still deny him the right to buy a firearm and a CHL?" She said "sure would"
I told her "she should be ashamed of herself and CBI" and walked out.
I have NEVER had an issue buying firearms anywhere else in this country and I have lived in 13 states. Including some very anti gun states.
You folks in Colorado better keep an eye out. I fear your gun rights are going to slowly be taken away.
YES, it can happen in CO as well. Considering all of the California folks moving there.
