I meant reading the definition that you posted, not an opinion. Obviously I am not a Massachusetts attorney, so I am not certain either. It just seems that they had a slightly different way of defining and handling the same type of issue. I guess all we can do is wait and see. I wish the OP the best on getting his CHL without delay.baldeagle wrote:The reason I didn't express an opinion about it is because I'm not certain.

Reading Baldeagle's post it sounds like the Massachusetts equivalent of deferred adjudication.

The language "continued without a finding" doesn't sound good to me. It sounds like the restraining orders are still in effect. Since you have already sent them in to DPS, you will probably have to wait and see. IANAL, but if the DPS rejects your application you might want to talk to someone who is.
