Yes. Helping my son fill out his application on-line.


So it would seem my question still stands. Why does the application state have you ever been "charged with a crime?" Technically aren't you "charged with a crime" when you are issued a speeding ticket? or a parking ticket? I don't remember it being phrased that way when me and my wife applied for our CHL.

We have already completed his application and submitted his chl-100 form. I am just really curious about why the state would be this ambiguous on this question. I went by what I have always understood which is they are looking for any arrest. (of which there wasn't any BTW)

No photo or prints taken. Only a ticket was issued! $300 fine and alcohol awareness class required.

so how should the question be answered?

Applying for my 21 year old son. He has never been arrested but does have a Minor in Possession of alcohol. The criminal history question reads have you ever been arrested or charged with a crime.

He was merely issued a ticket for the MIP.

How does that need to be answered in this case?
