I have seen this statement, about a 10-year period after which you may be eligible after conviction of a felony. I do not believe the eligibility requirements are being properly interpreted.baldeagle wrote: You can falsify the application. When they find out, you may be charged with perjury, a Class A misdemeanor or aggravated perjury, a third degree felony. If you're convicted of a felony, you'll have to wait 10 years before you can receive a license, if approved.
GC411.172(a)(3) requires that the person, "has not been convicted of a felony". Period. No time period is mentioned.
The only place I see 10 years associated with a felony is in GC 411.172(a)(13)
Note that this is "Delinquent Conduct" which is only applicable to a juvenile. So if you are found guilty of felony Delinquent Conduct as a juvenile, it only disqualifies you for a period of 10 years. Since juveniles are people under 17 years of age, this clause is meaningless to people 27 years old or older. (And may be meaningless to people even younger depending on how old they were when found guilty.)GC41.172(a)(13) wrote:(13) has not, in the 10 years preceding the date of application, been adjudicated as having engaged in delinquent conduct violating a penal law of the grade of felony.
Adult felony convictions are a permanent disqualification.
