    The best advice I can give is to be honest and disclose everything.

    Good luck in your endeavors.

      Don't lie!
      It's better to disclose and get axed from one agency than to never have a shot again ever.

      You have probably heard and if not you will and will learn as well as you test agencies aren't looking to hire perfect people they want honest people.

        Oh it's nothing about lying. I have out the truth on it completely. I guess I'll as one of them. So one of the departments asks about firearms. I listed all of them and it's a pretty high number. Any issues with owning too many firearms?

          Depends on the agency.

            No one here would really know the answer to that. Just don't over-think it, sounds like you've answered the question truthfully so move on to the next and don't create problems in your head that were never there.

                Alright something else. I turned it in but overlooked something while filling out another PHS for different agency, I forgot the list the year and make of my vehicle. Ever heard of that being an issue, as in will they probably throw it away now?

                  Do you know who your background investigator is? if so, send them an email with the info.

                    Everybody has dirt. Get it out. They want to see that you're not perfect, your dirt is behind you and you're honest and not hiding anything.

                      Not yet. When I turned it in they just put them in a pile with the others and said to keep an eye on my email in the next few weeks.
