Some states do put dispositions on their criminal histories, but not all do and they are not always accurate. In Colorado, it is hit or miss. The actual court case is looked up in COCourts or ICON or CCIC to determine the disposition.
So what you possess is actually a copy of that particular state's record.
“Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Yep.
ICON is referenced when doing a background check. (integrated colorado online network) - Courts Database of each case, every day.
Ok Fair ..
I should have said " FBI Report" ( FBI Letter head and watermark thru out)
since I went had prints taken and sent them to the FBI and they sent me this report ( well sent it to the folks that took my prints... then they gave it to me ... took all of 20 mins)
And the case was in New Mexico . so maybe that is why we are " butting heads"

I know a guy who shoot a handgun in his apartment when he was attempting to clean his gun.Yep, didn't inspect the chamber after dropping the mag. He called the cops on himself bc he couldn't get a hold of his neighbor below him..... They took his gun and charges him with a single count of something( forget). Goes to court and has to take a class and pay a fine but otherwise all charges were drop. 6 months later he got his firearm back. His only real punishment was he got evicted but still had to pay off his lease.
This was arapahoe county I think
btw this wasn't me

I haven't touched one off unintentionally but this thread should be a reminder that checking, and re-checking, and re-checking the chamber AGAIN is time well spent.
+1
+2 The statement "I thought it was unloaded" holds no water. It is sad what happened but always check and re-check.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

can NEVER be too sure. I think I read a reply in here about dummy rounds. I own ZERO dummy rounds. IMHO Dummy rounds are a recipe for disaster and another way to complicate things.
certainly all of us feel bad for the guy, but honestly what happened, whether an accident or not, is extremely serious. accidental discharge that goes through the wall and could have easily killed a neighbor? thats some serious stuff. revocation of firearm ownership isn't all that drastic, even though it was an accident. lots of people have had accidents with all sorts of things and sadly the punishment is sometimes severe. i don't even keep guns loaded in my house for this very reason, meaning no round in the chamber. it doesn't take long to rack the slide and the risk isn't worth it in my opinion.
