LOL.... Yeah... I would remember resisting arrest and I do remember many of the fights I had as a misguided youth. I'm pretty sure fighting was OK for boys in those days. It didn't mean we had to shoot each other. The school would give us swats, make us shake hands and promise not to fight anymore. Now... Things are much more complicated.

Thing is folks... The OP got his CHL after providing the info from the courts. Apparently the state was ok with it. I can sure understand how a person might think something from many years ago would be insignificant to their behavior today... Especially if there were no felony convictions. Asking about legal issues from when we were minors is ignorant anyway. Many of us do stupid things as minors. We can't all be Greg or Marsha Brady! Some of us were more like Dennis the menace!

I am thinking we should say congrats and let it go rather than flogging it over and over again. Heck... I remember a thread where a guy was involved in meth. I think He got his CHL.

Personally, I think it is baloney we have to get the governments blessing to exercise a right guaranteed by the constitution! Anyone that can jump through these absurd hoops... More power to them.

Asking what we did as minors??? Really?? Pretty ridiculous in my humble opinion.

I included it in my app and emailed all my court docs showing that i was gramted the non disclosure and i just recvd my card in the mail today. I would reccomend being up front about it even though you have the non disclosure. I submitted all docs on jan 25 and went through the process in about 45 days

I agree that being honest up front is the best strategy. It would be real bad to get denied because of nondisclosure. Especially in cases where the incident itself would have been no problem.

But, I cannot not agree with intentionally leaving it off the app and signing my name to it.

And, I'll shut up now.

Yep... In my case, I had forgotten about the issues. It was two bad check charges, believe it or not. Who the heck would remember having a check bounce and paying a fine for it after thirty years?? I can't remember what I ate for dinner yesterday.

I had a couple county issues I had not thought about when getting my first CHL. They sent me the exact same letter you received. Once you get the documents from court house to them, you will be good to go. I was...

By the way... I don't know that I would volunteer the information that I intentionally left it off. No matter the reason. It plainly asks for everything and it does not qualify by saying "that you think is important". I forgot about it works best.

Since they are only requesting more info, I wouldn't offer up any explanation for my non disclosure unless they ask... And I doubt they will.
