PFEC

[tleeocinca]

I recently decided to purchase my first handgun and have been told that it is illegal to do so, if you are deemed unable to own or purchase a firearm by the DOJ. Although I have never been arrested, I did about 11 years ago get a ticket for driving without a license. I was fined and had to appear in court to get the matter taken care of. I decided to submit a PFEC to make sure this wouldn't cause any problems during the DROS process, but this PFEC process takes so much longer. I mailed my PFEC off weeks ago and the DOJ just now says the received it and it could take 6 weeks or longer to process. Can anyone tell me if I decide to just skip this process and do the DROS, should I list this above situation on my application?

I am not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure that's not a felony or DV, you should be good to go.

As long as you tool care of the ticket in timely fashion that is no problem.

You should be good to go if the facts you stated are correct and you did take care of the ticket.

Hey Guy's, thanks for the input, I think I am going to just opt and go for the DROS process, based on your feedback. It certainly would be nice if the DOJ processed those PFEC quicker considering it cost $20 + $10 for the notary signature.

Driving without a license isn't a prohibiting offense unless it somehow became a felony. DOJ has a nice summary of the prohibiting offenses and categories here. You might want to scan through that, and if you see nothing applicable to you, do the DROS.
