Stupidly, at 18 years old, I got a DUI in Florida. I plead no-contest, paid my debt to society, and actually learned my lesson. It's one of those things I wish I could go back in my life and get a do-over. I pay for it all the time, even now, 25 years later. Every time I apply for a job, drivers license, etc., I have to suck up my pride and fess up.
My question is, will this prevent me from being able to purchase a handgun or get the carry permit? I am now a law abiding member of society and have not had another run-in with the law since (other than a speeding ticket). I was always under the impression that a DUI was a misdemeanor, and wouldn't affect any of my rights, but I just want to be sure.
Thanks
