April 27, 201016 yr My buddy was thinking of getting a NJ FID, but is unsure if he will be disqualified for a misdemeanor he received in Washington D.C. He was caught one night in college at a bar with a fake I.D., spent a night in jail over it, and was charged with the aforementioned misdemeanor. He has not gotten the arrest/charge expunged (I think he was 18 or over at the time), so would this affect his chances in getting an FID + Pistol Permits? Would it even show up in a background check?
April 27, 201016 yr Was there a conviction? Could the maximum sentence have been more than 6 months? Was the ID a government issued document?
April 27, 201016 yr Author Conviction? I think he went before a judge. Maximum sentence? It ended up being community service. Drivers License? I think it was a DC fake... and DC is a Federal District... so I'm not sure.
April 27, 201016 yr Just guessing AND going by NJ law; It was probably an indictable offense and then downgraded to a disorderly offense in which he pled guilty to. Then the question still is, COULD the maximum sentence have been more than 6 months?

May 1, 201016 yr as a person that has been turned down for that reason i did this. For the questions that ask if u've ever been convicted just attach a seperate piece of paper that explains exactly what happened and that you believe it to be expunged. Being honest will actually help in this case. It did for me
