I just wanted to make it clear that this was a false charge, I never touched her.. so was mad because it was boys night out and she didn't want me to go... and called the police to stop me... it was a he said she said thing , even the police told me I would be out in an hour , not to worry about it this happened on a Friday and the next thing I knew I was in front of a judge Monday morning for a bond hearing It was a class A misdemeanor when I called the court house and talked with the clerk the first time I asked her if I could get it expunged and she said yes the next time I called she told me that she wasn't able to give legal advice, so that confused me this is the only violent charge on record nothing even close I am not a violent person I just want my right to bear arms ! Im think that my best course of action would be to what Moly B suggested and in the mean time is to collect records and find out exactly what happened 18 years ago police records and court ... I appreciate the reply's and any more suggestions Thanks everyone I just wanted to toss this in here , I saw where people were having a hard time finding this form and I cant find how to upload it Request for Investigation and Waiver Liability https://ispfsb.com/Public/Firearms/FOID/Investigation.pdf
