That makes a dangerous assumption.brentski wrote:I would go to my local PD and have them do a NCIS check on myself and look at what is there. When doing the CHL the same records will be reviewed and any issues can be addressed before hand.
See there are many, many incomplete records that never make it to NICS (especially old ones, and most especially misdemeanors).
So someone can take the approach, "Let me see if I pass a NICS check, and then they are convinced they are out of the danger zone.
Problem is, a person is accountable for knowing whether or not they have a firearms disability. It doesn't matter what NICS says, if they cannot possess firearms and choose to do so anyway, it is still a crime.
To the OP: a brother does not meet the relationship definition, as stated above. That is a green light. However, you should get a certified copy of the case disposition documents to submit with your application.
