Kimber45,
Check out the Kentucky State Police page. Also, this or that page. Here is a excerpt from the KSP FAQs... Quote:

We must separate "charged" from "convicted". The original charge may have been for a felony, but what was the final conviction. If the conviction was felony robbery with a reduced sentence, then you may be screwed. If the actual conviction was for a misdomenor, then you should be okay. Take a look at your court documents from your conviction. You may end up needing a lawer with a specialty in criminal law, due to operating in a potentially grey area of law. I wish I could help people in that situation, but I'm not a lawyer.
Someone can do something stupid when they are young and dumb, pay the price for it, never commit another crime, and decades later still be living as a second class citizen. |

There's one sure way to find out.....
apply for the permit. KY will let you know.
I would have bet you good money I could not get a permit in my state because of close to the same reasons.... I was wrong. |
