Hello All,
I'm looking for help and/or advise.
I received in the mail today a denial letter from the Utah Department of Public Safety.
The letter states that my application for a Utah Concealed Firearm Permit has been denied based on a misdemeanor arrest I had back in June 2011 in the state of California involving 1 count of battery on person and 1 count of resisting arrest. Yes, I was arrested. But, the only charge that stuck was resisting arrest which I plead guilty to. The DA never filed charges for the battery because it never happened. So the letter further states that because the arrest record of battery on person is coming up, that it could possibly involve domestic violence.
I doubled checked my arrest record and indeed it only shows arrested for 1 count of battery on person and 1 count of resisting arrest but only being charged for resisting arrest nothing else.
Keep in mind that I do currently own and can purchase firearms here in IL. No problem.
This is for a non-resident app by the way. I live in Illinois.
I'm getting ready to appeal by mail. I will be submitting the court records which shows evidence of the only charge convicted of is resisting arrest.
Question: How should my appeal be written? Is there a format I should follow? Is there anything else that I should include as part of my appeal?
Thanks in advance for your help.
