Question about CCW

[eldaisy]

Hi guys so I was stopped about 2 years ago when I was 21 by the police and I was high on marijuana and i wasn't cited and I didn't have paraphernalia or anything of that sort. I am 23 now since that day haven't touched it and have graduated college. Will I get denied?

The only way to know is to try.If there is a record the interviewer will have it. Honestly why do you think they call it dope?

Yeah I know man and I'm not proud of my actions either. :face palm:
is there anyway to view my record?

Be upfront and honest. If they catch you with anything even close to a lie you're done. What county are you in?

that would depend on the issuing authority. There is a clause about "good moral character" that might be triggered with document illegal activity only two years ago.

Orange County

Should I wait another year?

Should I wait another year?

again, it would depend on your IA. they might have a 3-year rule, it might be a 5-year rule, it might be a 10-year rule, it is currently their discretion.

Read through the OC threads (ok, skim them) - there are a couple of people who had questions on yours whether or not to apply and one or two denied for drugs.
You say you were stopped. Was there a citation #? I'm guessing you weren't driving?? Were you "detained" specifically were handcuffs ever placed on you?
After you skim/ search the OC threads on this subject - ask yourself (especially after answering to yourself what an interviewing cop would think about being stopped for being high on drugs) - and think do you want to take the gamble of having a denial for CCW?

IF you get denied - and apply XX years later - you will still have to put down you were denied at one point.

I know that's not an answer - but two years might be pushing the envelope just a bit - others might have a different opinion than I do though.

You say you were not cited. Did they just let you go with a warning or something? If not cited than there is no record of it. No worries!

Because of ignorance.

No sir no citation no ticket not even handcuffs. I was just stopped while walking high and after questioning me and running my name I was let go with a warning. Being that I already own a firearm wouldn't that have prevented me from owning one if it came up on my record?

Correct just a warning. I would imagine they write down all their stops no?

I wouldn't volenteer anything. You'll be questioned about arrests or convictions. You should say no (true), and don't elaborate.
Do you have a drug problem (question), answer, no (true).
"I have a clean criminal record" (true).
I'm not sure they can even legally ask you about anything that is not covered by the application.
Stay calm and everything should be ok.
