Good afternoon. I have been enjoying reading through some of the threads and the information that it has provided.
I have a few question regarding the HQL in MD.
I was recently "disapproved" for an HQL from MD. The state police officer stated that I had a record hit on the FBI database for a very old assault case that I had in VA from 12/1999 (2nd degree). Virginia doesn't even maintain the charge in their own database. I ran into an issue when purchasing a gun a few months ago at the Nation's Gun Show held in Dulles, VA, but a VA State Trooper told me everything I needed to do to get the information removed from prohibiting me from buying a gun. I thought everything was cleared up, but I have run into an issue with MD.
I am now a resident of MD btw, and possess a VA concealed permit (CCW), and have had this permit for over 20 years.
When applying for the MD HQL, my application was disapproved. With this disapproval, is there a way to go about getting it overturned? Is speaking with the MD State Police officer processing my paperwork a good idea? With VA not doing expungements, is there a way for MD to review the circumstances of my case? Is it worth the time to appeal the disapproval?
