I was arrested for assault in the early 80's (bar fight) and I was forced to pay his medical bills , both lawyer fees and I had an order of protection placed on me. I thought for sure my pistol permit application was doomed. Much to my surprise I was still granted a full carry permit. I even used some of the guys and girls from the bar as character witnesses on the application. Even though times have certainly changed , I think you will get your permit.....I hope so anyway.
