Applying for Permit after denial was appealed

[AKA0314 0]

My original application for FID and purchase permit was denied. It was appealed and granted. I've been looking all over trying to get a definitive answer on this and can't seem to find it. If down the line I apply for a second purchase permit, on question #27 do I have to answer yes that I've been refused an application in the past. I've read that I would have to answer yes. I've also read that since it was appealed and I won the appeal that I do not have to answer yes.

You would benefit the most from speaking to the lawyer who helped you appeal.

+1 this is a tricky question to answer, some towns may see the appeal and see it as a means to disregard your denial, some towns may deny you becuase u lied on it and they don't recognize the appeal. The question is did the appeal overthrow the original decision of denial.

I suggest asking your lawyer if you had one.

 

But if you want my opinion, the question asks if you "ever" had an application refused. I would say "yes" since you were refused and had to appeal. The "refuse" action happened. You can then state that it was appealed and you were granted a permit. This is the total face value "truth" to the question.

 

At, the bottom of the app #30 has you sign that all statements are true and correct. If something is incorrect, you may be denied for falsification of application. This is a "catch all" reason for disapproval if anything may be incorrectly stated on your form.

 

Since I don't know all the details, and am not a lawyer, thats the best I can do. I don't know that an appeal actually means it never happened.

You should have a letter from the court showing the judgement on your appeal. answer yes.....And enclose the "judgement" from the court. Of course, check with your lawyer. But I am pretty sure that is how you will have to handle any and all applications.

This sounds like a really good answer.. I still agree check with the lawyer.. but this answer seems most reasonable..

If you were convicted of a crime but acquitted on appeal would you still answer "yes" if asked if you were ever convicted of a crime?

 

It is a good question. Let us know if you get a definitive answer.

It never went to court. My lawyer settled with the prosecutor and police chief. About a month before the court date I got a call to go pick up my permit.

Yeah, I think you should talk to your lawyer since he is the one most knowledgeable with the details of your case.
