What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kansas.
I was denied a Concealed Carry Permit for the most ridiculous and legally questionable reasons I have ever heard. Their decision simply feels unconstitutional, illegal and even discriminatory. It certainly smells of corruption.
I was denied the Concealed Carry permit because of two, misdemeanor charges for Possession of Marijuana. One of which the state of Kansas now says, is a felony. Here’s what really burns me up… These are misdemeanor charges from Baltimore, Maryland, not Kansas and furthermore, they are charges from 30 plus years ago. As of July 1, 2014, Kansas declared me a felon based on one of these 2 possession charges because of some new law.
I’ve never committed any felonies. I do have a few legal infractions from my youthful days, none of which are felonies, all of which are stupid misdemeanor stuff I did while I was drunk. Neither of these charges involved more than the amount you can roll into a joint.
I did my probation and urine tests, paid my fines, and jumped through the sundry hoops to satisfy the terms of my sentence(s). Doesn't the law say that these charges could no longer be held against me. Doesn't the Constitution say I can’t be punished twice for the same crime(s).
There’s certainly a hint of discrimination here as well. After all I am a big scary Viet Nam era Veteran with PTSD, and alcoholism. And according to Kansas now a felon. Seems to be a sneaky way to disarm citizens too.
