I sent DPS a email before I applied cause I had a felony theft charge when I was 13rys old on my juvenile record back in 1998.

They sent a response 5 weeks later saying that you are eligible to apply after 10yrs.

That would most likely be felony juvenile delinquent charge, and is covered under GC411.172(a)(13)

13. has not, in the 10 years preceding the date of application, been adjudicated as having engaged in delinquent conduct violating a penal law in the grade of felony

Note that this only applies to juvenile charges.

Adult felonies are permanent disqualifiers. See GC 411.172(a)(3)

(A person is eligible for a license if he) has not been convicted of a felony.

We shall see... I'll keep this thread updated.

Felonies are permitted after 10 years. It's a great deal more than 10 years since your conviction was set aside, but even if your conviction stood, you would still qualify due to the elapse of time.

Code Reference?
