I have a friend who has a Misdemeanor Crime of Domestic Violence charge against him and it happened over twenty years ago down in Warrensberg, Mo. Does anyone know if this would stop him from getting a ccw or maybe getting the charge dropped? He has no other charges on his record. Thanks....
If it carries a penalty of one year or more it will, he did not have to be sentenced to a full year, the crime only need have that as an option.
Was he actually charged or did he just have a restraining order? if he was charged and plead guilty or was found guilty he is likely out of luck.
It will also likely matter if he was charged by the state or a municipality. Muni's usually do not have penalties over one year.
It might also actually depend upon what the law was back then, it might be over one year now but was not back then, the domestic violence laws have been evolving quite a bit over the last three decades.
He is more than likely going to only qualify for an oos permit.
