Posted at 10:33h, 21 AprilHello there, I had a restraining order issued against me over 20 years ago. I have no felonies, criminal record, and I do have an FID. Would I be qualified to upgrade to an LTC?

Posted at 09:19h, 04 NovemberHello. Depending on the disposition and the severity of the charge, you may still be able to obtain a license. I recommend reaching out to your local police department and checking with them if the prior conviction would disqualify you. Good luck.
