I put yes for it but it wasn't expunged until a couple years ago. and the people at work helped me fill out the paper work. I was just hoping to be able to put no as it would have been easier. but since I'm applying for a permit with no restrictions would this be a new permit?

If you qualified for a work permit, then without G&S you still qualify. We don't need any reason now other than "Self Defense and all lawful purpose".

Just got my app in this morning. UPS store offers notary service for $5. Spent $74 on background check fingerprinting and photos.

Am I reading page 12 correctly? They want to know where my reference works and that phone number?

And, is my mother's BF "related" to me?

I don't really have 3 references. I keep to myself.

The way I see it is PUT EVERYTHING ON THERE. I don't think you have to put your speeding ticket for doing 60 in a 55 but you get the point. Really all they can look for is if you were convicted of a felony and got a jail sentence of a year or more (I believe thats what the rules state) Anyway it is much better for them to look at your app and say "oh he did not need to put that on here" then to say "Why was this not on the app".

Here is a really good tool to find your court record. It might make you remember something you forgot.

Auckland: that is how I read it - work address and phone number. Also, I would say mothers BF is not related. Good luck!

dlmcbm · Mar 10, 2012

Yes thats what they want. IF they do an interview they will have you call them. It will be during the day so they want to be able to get ahold of someone. Your mothers boyfriend is not related but I would try to use someone else if you could.

MUST I DISCLOSE EXPUNGED CHARGES?
According to Maryland law, Criminal Procedure §10-109:
Disclosure of expunged information about civil citations and criminal charges in an application,
interview, or other means may not be required of a person who applies for employment, etc.
A person need not refer to or give information concerning an expunged charge when answering
a question concerning a criminal charge or civil citation that did not result in a conviction or
that the Governor pardoned.
Refusal by a person to disclose information about criminal charges or civil citations that have
been expunged may not be the sole reason for refusal to hire the person.

Do we really need to attach OFFICIAL court dispositions for any charges? Don't they get that info with the background check? Would that mean I would need a certified copy of the court documents? The charge was a failure to appear for a reckless driving ticket in VA. I called Virginia for a copy of those records, and she said there was no records that I could have because it was over 10 years ago, and those records were no longer available. She said I could request a "10 year" letter, that states there is a charge for me, but they have no information available for it. Would this suffice as the OFFICIAL documentation?

Does the MSP normally interview references? What questions could they possibly ask to use in their decision making process?

I'm a HAZMAT CDL holder and had to get the livescan fingerprinting for my license a few months ago. Does anyone know if I can use that for fingerprinting and can I get them to print me a new receipt if it's current?

According to the most recent fingerprint rules, no.

APPLICATIONS MUST BE POSTMARKED AS SENT TO THE LICENSING DIVISION OR STAMPED AS DELIVERED TO THE LICENSING DIVISION WITHIN 72 HOURS OF FINGERPRINTS BEING ELECTRONICALLY SUBMITTED. IF YOUR APPLICATION IS NOT SUBMITTED WITHIN 72 HOURS IT MAY BE RETURNED TO THE APPLICANT. This is important as the value of fingerprints submitted decreases over time and become unusable after 30 calendar days.

This appears to refer to the inked prints, so I am not sure why it would be a requirement. Seems to me that electronic prints do not degrade that fast.

Probably not for two reasons listed on the MDSP Fingerprinting document here: http://www.mdsp.org/Portals/0/Users/055/55/55/2012 Licensing Division Fingerprint Rules.A.pdf
1. It says the value of fingerprints submitted decreases over time and become unusable after 30 calendar days.
2. When submitted the Livescan facility has to use a specific handgun permit code 9400082484

Here is the Criminal Code

(ii) is what you want to look at

http://law.justia.com/codes/maryland/2010/criminal-procedure/title-10/subtitle-1/10-109/

According to the statute, if the MSP turns you down for this or files charges against you, THEY ARE IN VIOLATION!

Wow, that seems like a pretty clear answer all the expungment questions!
Thanks for the details. :thumbsup:

Got Every thing together last night, went to a great place this morning. Very Nice people there. The Place is called Absolute Investigative and Security Services. Did not need an appointment, just walked right in. I went in at 9:45am, left at 10:00am. One Stop shopping, Live Scan, Photo, Notary, and the Owner even arranged my app for me and paper clipped every thing I need to send. The whole thing was like $52-$57 bucks. My Application was on it's way by 10:30am. Now We Wait....

For any one in the Towson area, they are Located right on Joppa Road. Not Far from the Towson Town Center. Here is a Link to the Place.

A buddy and I went there this morning! That place was a huge help. I had some questions after I got home and started my app. I called them and they answered them all. Great guys. Now I just hope this all goes through!

Hopalong · Mar 11, 2012

Okay, I got my prints done on Friday afternoon having mised the whole 72-hour as opposed to 30-day limit. (What a crock BTW) So...

1. If I get them in the mail on Monday morning (from a post office so they're postmarked right away) will that get me under the 72-hour limit?

2. I don't work all that far from Pikesvile, is delivering it in person an option?

3. For my own edification, where exactly is this 72-hour rule found and are we certain it applies to the electronic fingerprints?

#%^*+-ing state....
