It has to be one of those listed, they just can't say close enough. They will definitely talk to you about it. You do not need to discuss anything with them if you choose. If it's not on the list they can't use it to deny you.

Some gun boards call all applicant before the board and ask them questions about their past if something comes up other than what's on the list. Gives them a feeling of power. It's not a trial, so you have the right not to discuss anything you want. There isn't much they can do, if you meet all state requirements for a CPL. Don't let them intimidate you.

Careless and reckless are two different charges. If you were cited for careless; you're good. Cited for reckless...bad...3yr wait.
See below...

257.626b 1810 Careless Driving 3pts No licensing action: Civil infraction

257.626 1800 Reckless Driving 6pts 1st: 90 day suspension: Misdemeanor

Reckless is an 8 year dis-qualifier. Ouch.

BUT,they may use MCL 28.425b,7n which is what they tried to use against me(with my NRA lawyer present).Which is the reason I do not believe we have a shall issue law(still have to show proof while they're supposed to show proof).Time to repeal!

What did they try to use against. U in lamens terms LOL

MCL 28.425b (7)
(n) Issuing a license to the applicant to carry a concealed pistol in this state is not detrimental to the safety of the applicant or to any other individual. A determination under this subdivision shall be based on clear and convincing evidence of repeated violations of this act, crimes, personal protection orders or injunctions, or police reports or other clear and convincing evidence of the actions of, or statements of, the applicant that bear directly on the applicant's ability to carry a concealed pistol.

They MAY try to use this... especially if the "careless driving" was because of a "road rage" incident... something which this charge is sometimes used to punish.

That's one reason not to discuss anything with them. Just ask them if careless driving disqualifies you from getting a CPL. It does not. So ask them to either approve or deny the CPL. If they deny you can appeal the denial.
