USA1,
A) Many years ago, I was not who you are today either.

B) At least you are who you are today, and not somebody else. That might be inconvenient for the other person.

Geeze, I crack myself up.

@ Kolage: Many of us have a past, myself included. Fortunately, your past is redeemable if faced with the right attitude and acceptance of responsibility (and in my case, a redeeming God). I would add my encouragement to that of others. One day at a time...

Good for you. Like lrb111 said, as long as they are all class A or B misdemeanor convictions, you should be good to go, given the amount of time elapsed.

Kolage wrote:charges are by year

1998 possession of marijuana

1999 public intoxication

2000 minor in possession of alcohol

2000 disorderly conduct

Two questions:

1) were these merely charges, or were there four convictions?
2) are you clean and sober now?

Legal issues aside, hopefully this was merely a phase in your life and you're done with that stuff. If not, then with all due respect, perhaps carrying a gun around isn't a good idea.
