Perhaps he can answer the ?s with : I don't maintain nor am required to maintain such records; additionally, I am able to own handguns in the state.
there is a pretty large difference between criminal and civil courts and law. These are civil administrative hearings at the BFPE.

If that's the case, then absolutely NOTHING was learned then. The practice still continues.

It's a shame the person(s) did not hold the "reporting person" accountable for their illegal notifications. They should have objected during the hearing and quoted the erasure statute. They could also file a civil suit agaist the person who relayed the info and the department they work for.
First rule: Don't lie.
Second rule: Don't disclose anything unnecessary.
If your case was nollied and it has been years, you do not need to disclose. If your case was dismissed, you need not disclose.
I would call back to the courthouse and ask for a printed disposition on the charge.
Also, wait until you get your background check and see what it shows. Disclose only what is necessary.
None of your charges are disqualifiers, so there is no need to worry either way. Just play it cool and be patient.
Ok thank you. I'll post when I have the state record
And that is what the organizations in this state are supposed to be for; telling people what their rights are and helping them make a stand when they want.
So, how does any organizations assist at this point?
How do you do this in this case at the BFPE?
Officer starts testimony.
Appellant (or attorney) objects.
Chairman of the board over rules that objection and the hearing continues.
This is how it has happened.
Again, the board states they can't look at erased records, but they can testify what they recall from memory.
So, how does any organizations assist at this point?

Vocalizing objections to get ruled on is proper, expected, and wise. Now you have it on the record for a reviewing court to rule upon, if needed.
Its a question of law that should be reviewed de novo by the reviewing court(s).
So after you object and it gets ruled upon, move on and don't let it upset you anymore during the proceeding.
Ok so I got my criminal check back within 5 days which is faster than they said (10business days). According to The CT state dept. of emergency services and public protection division of state police I have no criminal record found..... I'm not sure how that is possible being that I lost my drivers license for 3 months back around 1996. I had been charged with reckless driving, failure to adhere to police officer signal, and I think a couple of other minor ones thrown in for good measure. So should I put that I have never been arrested ? if I do I would be lying. Also if a woman I spoke with on the phone from waterbury courthouse pulled up all my previous info why can't the state police as they were the ones that filed a warrant for my arrest when I outran them. I guess maybe I don't have to disclose that previous info ? idk ...
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Ok thanks for the response. I was just worried if the F.B.I. check turned up that I had previous arrests they would deny me for not admitting to them.
That's more my point. Not much we can do. I've seen it objected and testimony allowed.
