Welcome to the forum, gunny.

Short answer: if you may legally own a firearm, then a misdemeanor-level offense 12 years ago does not disqualify you from getting a CHL.

UCMJ offenses are not generally entered into NCIC.

The ATF Form 4473 asks whether or not you've been discharged under "dishonorable" conditions. A BCD is "other than honorable", but is not "dishonorable".

Since your offense was not felony level ("punishable by more than one year in prison"), and was not domestic violence, and happened 12 years ago, I believe you're clear.

Just be sure to list all the details on your CHL application, and be prepared to wait patiently.

Kevin
