Re: Am I going to have trouble getting my CHL?
In short, yes. He swung at me, I hit him in the upper arm. I got cuffed and stuck in the back of a squad car. There's a reason I left Michigan and went to the opposite end of the country.
But with all due respect, I don't think at this point the validity of the charges have no real bearing on the situation, unfortunately...
I'm really anxious to get some responses on this so I can take any necessary action to get this over with quickly, or at the very least set my expectations realistically. Anyone got any serious thoughts on this?

Am I going to have trouble getting my CHL?
Hey, guys. Recently just started reading here and figured I'd post. Took my class, mailed my docs/photos, submitted the application, paid my dues, got my prints taken, all that good stuff...
Now. I just need to know...
When I was about fifteen, I was arrested for punching my 17 year old brother in the arm. My mom called the cops, they brought me in for "assault." I spent a few (read: 2-3) days in a juvenile detention center, was put on some sorta probation, and that's about it. This happened up in Michigan.
I've never been denied a firearms purchase in the past, though I do frequently get delayed... but not always. Aside from that, my record's spotless.
So. Am I going to need to try and scrounge up dispositions and all that good junk? Or is it not likely? Or is it safe to say I threw away a couple hundred bucks on the course and application?
Edit: To the extent of my knowledge, those charges were expunged from my record. Read the first six words of that sentence carefully... Is it possible just because I was brought in, fingerprinted, etc. that I get delayed nearly every time. The "delays" seemed to have stopped once I hit 21, but last month I tried to snag a great deal on an Olympic Arms 1911 ($200, good fit and finish. If nothing else a viable project gun in the making) and... bam! Delayed again!
If the charges were for all intents and purposes thrown out, did I do more harm than good listing them on the application?
