Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and was not able to find this info elsewhere. In June of 2010 I was charged with possession of marijuana in TN, I wont try to justify it, I am young and made a stupid mistake (recently graduated from university). The charges were dismissed and I took some additional steps to have my record expunged in TN. I wanted to know what effect this will have on me possessing and OC a handgun. From what I have gathered it should not have much of an effect on possessing one, but I am more unclear of the effect on OC? Does this charge qualify me as a "drug addict" or have any other effect on my legal status that could prevent me from legally OC? Let me know what you think

If Your Charges were Dismissed under Tennessee Law, then, that Indicates that The Arrest did NOT Result in a Conviction.

As a Result, You are NOT Prohibited under Federal Law or Louisiana Law.
