Some histories go back farther than others. I read a news article just yesterday or the day before about a guy who is a 20+ year Army veteran, who was recently denied on a firearms purchase because of a misdemeanor drug conviction when he was 18 years old -- 42 YEARS ago.
That's a "history," no question about it. It's in the records, and somebody dredged it up. Should it be a disqualifier, after he was allowed to bear arms for a full military career defending the dimwits who process this stuff? Hmmm ...
