Renewing C&R/FFL, need help.

Hello,

Am currently renewing my C&R/FFL. Question D 9 states: "Have you ever been convicted in any court of a crime for which the judge could have imprisoned you for more that one year even if the judge actually gave you a shorter sentence?"

I think this question has been in the previous applications. I could be mistaken, but I recall that I was able to answer this "no" because of some legal distinction involving the term "conviction". I recall having some legal material which I downloaded which stated some conditions under which the answer could be "no", and I think it had something to do with probation. I think I also called the BATF and discussed it with them.

Does anyone have any info on this question D 9 ? ?

Thanks.
