I recently moved from MA to NH. After moving to NH I applied for a resident PRL and after meeting with the Chief of Police I was approved for the permit. I had to meet with the Chief due to my previous record in MA. I was obviously aware that I had a record but it was from about 15 years ago and I was young and dumb and didn't recall the details of the dispositions.
After receiving the permit I thought I was good to go. A couple days later I attempted to purchase a handgun at and FFL and was denied after the background check. I only received a number to call the NH State Police and a reference number. I received a call back and voicemail with a list of things that denials are based on but have not received my denial letter yet.
Since then I decided to pull my CORI and I have 2 misdemeanor convictions from approximately 15 years ago. Both would preclude me in MA. I assume this is why I was denied. Would this also cause me issues as a PP and render my NH PRL useless?
Any advice would be appreciated. Once I receive the details from NH on the denial I would probably look to see what I could do to get past this so any recommendations for attorneys would be appreciated.
