To keep it short, I have an under age drinking fine from 4 years ago. In iowa they refer to it as a simple misdemeanor. I called the legal section of the dps for chl licenses. They said since it was out of state that if I could have possibly(even though I didnt) gone to jail as a punishment for it, then they would count it as a class A misdemeanor for the chl processing. I called the courthouse that handled the case and they were of little help, stating "well you can go to jail for anything" and offered to send me a copy of the case file, or whatever they called it.
PULA in iowa falls under iowa code 123.47 ( http://coolice.legis.iowa.gov/cool-ice/ ... put=123.47" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; )
States the following:
3. a. A person who is under legal age, other than a licensee
or permittee, who violates this section regarding the purchase of or
attempt to purchase alcoholic liquor, wine, or beer, or possessing or
having control of alcoholic liquor, wine, or beer, commits the
following:
(1) A simple misdemeanor punishable as a scheduled violation
under section 805.8C, subsection 7
It goes on to mention subsequent offences... which I only received one.
Iowa code 805.8c ( http://coolice.legis.iowa.gov/Cool-ICE/ ... put=805.8C" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) subsection 7 states:
7. Alcoholic beverage violations by persons under legal age.
For first offense violations of section 123.47, subsection 3, the
scheduled fine is two hundred dollars.
I havent seen anything about jail being a punishment...
I'm not a lawyer, and I dont expect any to chime in here, I just want peoples oppinions on if it will be worth it to drop money on the class knowing they may possibly deny me(I'm active duty so at least the application was free)
Thanks for the read and comments/oppinions
