Does your criminal record carry over from state to state?

    If SWIM garners a non felony drug possession conviction and then moves to a new state, will law enforcement in the new state be able to look up that conviction on the fly? Im not sure if misdemeanor possession is a federal crime or not or whether that matters.

    I know SWIM got pulled over for speeding and they talked about SWIMS clean driving record, so obviously his tickets from his old state did not carry over..

    Well that's weird because it would apply whether it was you or not.

    I once had a background check for a firearms purchase denied because I had a court date for a speeding ticket.

    Basically I was recklessly flying through some neighboring city and got pulled over, ticketed, etc. Paid my lawyer to go to court for me (I never had to personally appear). The lawyer has you wait the maximum amount of time allowed to respond to the ticket, then once you are given a court date the lawyer reschedules the court date once or twice, in order to maximally increase amount of time between police encounter and actual court date. This gives the police time to forget who you are, to lose evidence, etc.

    So since I did not have to appear in court and the lawyer was doing all of that for me, I completely forgot about all of this. Went to go buy a cheap revolver for the lulz, answered the background check form truthfully. I was still only a permanent resident (not citizen), so my background checks always took a few days because the FBI was not linked with USCIS. No biggie.

    But then after a few days I get a phone call that my background check was denied. Usually they call and tell me to come pick up my shit. I go in there to get a reference number to file an appeal with the FBI background check people. I file an appeal and wait.

    Couple of weeks later I get a phone call from the gun store, saying that my shits ready to pick up. When I went in there the FFL told me that "they cant just deny, then proceed a couple of weeks later like that!". But whatever. I should mention that the proceed came in exactly one day after my lawyer was in court over my speeding ticket (not reckless endangerment, not dui, just regular speeding ticket, which does not bar you from purchasing guns).

    Couple weeks after this, I get a letter in the mail from the FBI saying that they have no record of the mentioned reference number that I provided while appealing my initially denied background check...

    Fast forward a few years I filed a freedom of information act on myself (choosing not to pay them any money, letting them look for me in the free hour or two). I get a letter back saying that basically they don't know who I am, but that they cannot neither confirm nor deny me being listed on any watch lists.

    Basically when they do your background check, they might not know exactly what your court case is for, and they might deny you until your court date is over. Something to keep in mind.

    p.s. my speeding ticket was dismissed even though I was actually speeding. thx lawyer.

    just build your own fucking guns. Get together some money for some equipment (which would depend on what guns you want to build), then build a whole assload of them.

    From what I read as long as it's been a year from your conviction you should be ok, but I haven't read the form recently

    Also my new state is retarded and doesn't honour permit to carry from my old state even though it borders, but to be fair all I had to do to get one was to take a 2 hour unproctored online course where you just look up the answers you dont know and then print out your certificate. I really don't feel like going to an in person class, but perhaps they have like a permit to aquire type thing where you can pay 20 bucks to be able to buy handguns without a concealed carey permit but it just makes it a lot harder to transport your guns legally and if you dont transport it akwardly in your car then you'll get a big gun charge if you get pulled over..
