Was talking to somebody and they had asked about the question on the Background Interview form where it asks "have you ever smoked, sold, grown given marijuana to anyone?"

They said they smoked it 20+ years ago, what's the impact on answering the question truthfully?

I had no idea the answer. Obviously they can't be currently doing drugs and applying for a CCW.

Just curious.

Thanks

Answer truthfully. They will not disqualify you for having smoked pot at a highschool party some 15-20 years ago. Yes they will ask you about it since you answered yes, but they will respect you for being completely honest...

What a person was, and what a person is, makes a difference. And SB seems to understand that.

Thanks everyone! A friend is a little relieved and feeling good going into his interview. What all of you said was what I was thinking. Even those applying to be peace officers have to disclose everything.

Best

I thought all CCW's expire on the 15th of what ever month they were issued.
At least everyone that I know has a 15th of the month date.

Nope, mine expires on the 1st.

WOW first one I have 'seen' in 25+ years.
The dozen or so 'real life friends' that have them are all the 15th.

Yep, my renewal is coming up. Gotta drop by the sheriffs office next month and hand in my paperwork.

Just checked.
Mine expires on the 1st day of the 7th month in the year of our Lord, 2019....

Need to get on your renewal stuff then!!!!

^ Hmm...wow. This is quite disconcerting. I have my renewal coming up in March. I'd like to replace 2 of my pistols with 2 that have RDS's. If it's really an issue, I wonder if you could make an argument to leave the RDS off and just use the back up irons? I too would like to know if anyone has successfully qualified with an RDS. Any suggestions on how to proceed moving forward?

Me. And no... no advice. I know I was a nervous wreck at qual because I just didn't know what was going to happen. After I passed the initial check I remained nervous. Got to the firing line and I had quite the different experience from digital: After shooting my first gun my RO saw my RDS gun in my case and asked me which one I was shooting next and I told him the one with the red dot. He asked if he could see it. Picked it up and checked it all out (not in an "I'm going to DQ you way but in a real gun person admiring someone's gun way.) Said he was jealous. Then another RO came over and told me to shoot at the head (still clean at that point as we were still shooting the body) so he could see how accurate it was. Talk about NERVOUS! lol! (I even took a picture of the target afterwards before shooting my final gun to show hubby haha!)

I really, really don't like the inconsistencies.

I really didn't know what was going to happen before going since there was no tried and true answer on the subject. I had planned to ask to shoot with the dot OFF if they gave me issues (seems like the one lone deputy that doesn't like them would have said no, though.)

Red dots are the way of the future!

Quick question, anyone remember how long the initial interview length was?

Do you how long are you there at the sheriff's office?

If so, you should plan on about an hour and a half. I was out in about 50 minutes but I had planned on an hour and a half.

Mine expires 16 days after my birthday to allow me time to recuperate.

Which just happens to be the 15th
