LTC and dwi question

[klooney]

So, I got a pistol with my Christmas money this year, and want to take the course etc and get my LTC. I think I already know the answer, but TBH never lets me down.

Back a long time ago, I had a pretty rough 6 months, and got 2 dwi’s within six months. (Withhold your judgment, I was 19, and a moron!)

I completed my probation, and haven’t had anything other than a few traffic tickets since then. Will I have any hiccups trying to get my ltc?

Oh btw “a long time ago” = 14 years ago

I disagree with this btw. But I believe for LTC purposes, two dwi within 10 years they consider you a chemically dependent and will disqualify you

Edit: apparently I misread that. Good thing I’m not a lawyer I suppose.

you’ll be good

Ha! Two responses two different answers haha! This is why I asked the question... the reading I’ve been doing is a little vague

So since both were longer than 10 years ago, I should be good correct? That’s how I read into it

[klooney]

Just saw your post tuff broadhead

[Fargus]

The way I read it the offensee have to occur within the 10 years before your application was submitted. It looks like you should be good since your issues were outside the 10 year window.

No worries Fella, Get your LTC

No worries Fella, Get your LTC

That’s definitely the plan! I own several firearms, but with my new job, I end up working in places near downtown Austin area where I would rather have it and not need it type situations...
