I was once charged with a felony but it was ammended to a misdemeanor. I want to get a gun permit in the state of Indiana. Will my past charges get in the way? Also, I have already purchased and have possession of my new gun, but want to be completely legal.

I was also once charged with a Felony in Indiana, but it was dropped down to a misdemeanor. Now I carry a gun for a living, So the answer is you will be fine. Its all in the conviction. Thank you for believing in the second amendment.

A felony charge is different than a conviction. Felony conviction, no gun, I believe purchasing a gun as a felon is also a felony.
There are also several misdemeanor charges that would disqualify firearm ownership.
Best bet, consult an attorney

A misdemeanor conviction will not prevent you from getting a permit to own a gun. It might, depending on the laws of your state, prevent you from getting a concealed carry permit. Ask the authorities in your state to be sure. That's the only way to know.

Unless you have been coinvicted of a felony., you got a chance. However, even misdemeanors don't look good for you.

You can own a gun because you have no felony on your record to date.

if it was handled as a felony you cannot own a firearm under federal law....if it was settled as a misdemenor it means you were never convicted of a felony and you are ok....what was the felony for?...maybe you dont need to own a gun anyway....

Well since it was amended to a misdemeanor then that means you're not a felon so therefore it doesn't matter.

Criminal records will disqualify a person from possessing a gun because it is part of government regulation.
