From my personal viewpoint, if your case was dismissed and expunged, from the legal system's perspective, it should be as if it never happened. Although I would likely want to disclose it on my application so as not to be accused of attempting to hide anything, I don't think it should be permissible for a government agency to deny your rights based on it. A true legal challenge would be interesting to see if OSBI has the legal standing to deny you a permit - and if so, why? I mean... being CHARGED with a crime should not cause a loss of your rights, only a conviction. This, to me, reeks strongly of the same kind of assumption of guilt and subsequent forfeiture as the legal system confiscating cash and property from people charged with a drug crime that is then dismissed or they are exonerated of, and then refusing to return their property or cash.Not right, IMO. Of course, I don't know the specifics of your case, and IANAL of course, but from a casual glance, I don't see how this should be a legitimate reason for withholding a permit in a shall-issue state.</blockquote>
