Applying for an FID card Providence, Rhode Island is straightforward but not everyone that submits an application qualifies. The reason for this is because there are many areas that are considered to determine if an applicant qualifies or not. In this post, we shall be looking at the impact of criminal records.
The direct answer to the question on whether a criminal record can prevent you from qualifying for an FID card Providence is yes. However, not all criminal records will keep you from qualifying. Here are the main criminal records that will keep you from ever qualifying for the FID card.
Felony conviction
Do you have any felony conviction record? If you do, there is a very good chance you will never qualify for a gun license in Providence. The gun laws in Rhode Island burr anybody with a felony record from ever qualifying for a gun license. You might want to speak to a lawyer at this point to understand your options.
Misdemeanor convictions
Felonies are not the only things you need to worry about when applying for a gun license. If you have ever been convicted of a misdemeanor that is punishable by a prison time of more than 2 years you will have a low chance of qualifying for the FID card Providence. Again, speaking with an attorney will help evaluate your options. Still on misdemeanor, if your conviction involves domestic violence, your application will be rejected.
Violent crimes
Conviction of any violent crimes will also keep you from qualifying for the FID card. The last thing the state wants is to arm a violent person.
Gun law violation
The violation of gun laws will further keep you from being able to get an FID card. If you have ever been convicted of a crime involving the illegal possession, use, ownership, purchase, transfer, lease, sale, transportation or rental of firearms or ammunition you will have a hard time qualifying for the FID card.
Drug laws violations
You will have a hard time qualifying for an FID card if you have violated any of the laws regulating the possession, use and sale of controlled substances. An attorney will help understand your options.
Outstanding arrest
If there are any outstanding arrest warrants in any of the states, you will not qualify for an FID card. The case is the same if there are pending cases in court against you.
Not every criminal record will keep you from qualifying for the FID card Providence. However, if you have any criminal record, it is wise to talk to an attorney well in advance to understand your options.
