I have had interest of applying for a CCW in the state of NM.
One of the questions that I believe is on the application, was "were you ever arrested"?
Well, I can think of two occasions in my long long past, about 37 years ago in another resident state (ILL), once for a couple of joints in my possession, and another for being at the wrong place at the wrong time, and being arrested for disorderly conduct.
In both cases, I was not convicted, I was about 18-19 years of age. I am now 56 years old, and have never been arrested since.
So, what answer do I place in the box for an answer? Yes, or no?
If yes, do I then have to explicitly explain what I mention above?
Or, do I ignore such a trivial question on the application form?
In other words, which will be the less of the "two evils"?
I certainly would not like being turned down for falsification of the application, yet also maybe feel this was such minor things in my far past, is it worth even mentioning?
Does anybody know? Thanks
