No, but there are a lot of cases where people think they are just pleading guilty to make something that maybe really didn't happen go away easily. There are a lot of folks who are really innocent of the event that take plea bargains because the public defender, lazy lawyer or finances convinces them it's the easy route. In this case, they are alerted that a guilty plea to a Class C Domestic Violence charge, or even disorderly conduct for fighting with your college buddy when drunk, (even if really innocent) could impact their ability to have a CHL. That at least provides the defendant an opportunity to decide if they should push to fight it or if found guilty (or they know they are) then they understand the consequences.
