No, I don't think you can purchase a hand in any state. Maybe a mannequin hand? LOL sorry, it was just sitting there waiting.

I'll defer to the legal types on anything being aggravated and still classified as a misdmeanor but Federal law allows you to purchase a firearm if you have NOT been convicted of a Felony. You will still go through the background check and depending on what is noted by TBI, which goes through the NCIC database, as long as it's classified as you state you should be good to go.

Heres one, Sorry I had to.

Your question did make me do a little research. If the incident you were involved in falls under subsection D of TCA 39-13-102. Aggravated assault. — then it can be a Class A misdemeanor. Make sure that's how it's recorded and you should be able to purchase. If it falls outside those parameters you could have an issue. Link to TCA provided and definition below:

(e) (1) Aggravated assault under subsection (d) is a Class A misdemeanor. Aggravated assault under subdivision (a)(1) or subsection ( or © is a Class C felony. Aggravated assault under subdivision (a)(2) is a Class D felony. However, if an offense under subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2) or subsection © is committed against a law enforcement officer, then the maximum fine shall be fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000).

How long ago was it?

[Guest joey615]

it was back in 99 clsutton21

[Guest clsutton21]

You probably don't have anything to worry about then. 5-7 years is usually the limit.

[Raoul]

Great.

[enfield]

I think you ought to ask a lawyer for legal advice and ignore anything you read here (except for this, of course).

just in case I would submit to have expunged.

[Rightwinger]

True Dat.

No further discussion needed. That lawyer will probably still need that info from the Criminal Court Clerk I told you about in order to make an informed decision...unless you use that clairvoyant one we keep hearing about that's gonna sue David.

[Guest mikedwood]

Cost $10 to find out won't it?

[Rightwinger]

That's one of two recommendations I made in a PM. I don't think he will mind as I would tell it to anyone. TBI background check and a trip to the Criminal Court Clerks office to see the file and find out exactly how it was presented (the styling of the case) with final adjudication to TBI and thus NCIC. What he believes it to be and what is actually in the system can be two things. A lawyer would need this information to council him anyway.

[Guest joey615]

can i go to tbi.com and get a background check?

[Rightwinger]

Yes,

$29.00 though

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Background Checks

[lowbud]

from what I understand TBI only checks TN. I would request one from the FBI as well. I had an issue from 25 years ago that was dismissed but FBI still had the print card, ie arrest with no final disposition.

what a PITA that was to get rid of.

[mdmoseley]

just curious. since it was agg assault what was the weapon invovled or was there serious bodily injury without a weapon?

Way to go, make fun of the new guy with a history of violence.

[DaveTN]

Take that $29 you are about to spend on a background check, add 1$ to it and apply for a C&R license.

If you are refused they will let you know why, if they require any documentation to clear your record they will ask for it. If you are clear not only will you then know; but you will have a C&R license.

It’s how I got my mess straightened out. Not only have I not been refused anymore; but I have a C&R.

[Guest walkingdeadman]

Heres one, Sorry I had to.

You are either part wolf, or you play guitar with those finger nails!!

[Rightwinger]

That sounds like a good plan and money better spent. Nice job Dave.

[Guest Patty]

You got to be kidding. Is this a joke or is this guy for real. I see a news media headline in the making.

It is a simple question and I don't see a problem with it. Are you saying because he has a misdemeanor on his record he shouldn't be able to own a gun? It was many years ago and you don't know the circumstances behind it.

Doesn't even matter the circumstances.

TCA is pretty clear on the matter. As long as it wasn't a conviction for domestic violence, a class A misdemeanor is not a disqualification for HCP.

Ironically, though, once you have an HCP, any Class A 'meanor is cause to lose it.

I know the law. I was just curious as to what Patty meant by the comment he left. It seems to me he was implying the OP should not own a gun because he has a record. Maybe I am taking it the wrong way, that's why I asked.
