Is a MA DUI/OUI (whatever they call it here) a done deal as far as LTC is considered? As I understand it, a DUI conviction in MA is made into a federal prohibition of possessing a firearm. Apparently a convict could still get a an FID card but would be permanently ineligible to actually buy or possess a firearm. The person in question was under 21 at the time of the offense about 6 years ago, has since done his time, has his license back and did not actually spend any time in jail (community service etc...). Any chance for this guy? Why the ability to procure an FID even though he can't possess?
