From reading your previous post, it looks like the alleged assault was against your wife?  If so, that's no firearms for life, much less CCW for 3 months.  DO NOT EVER PLEAD GUILTY/NO CONTEST/WHATEVER to any assault involving any person the law categorizes as a "domestic" relationship.  You will lose your gun rights.  Forever.  Since it's federal law, not even your state governor, nor any judge, can restore those rights.

From a former recruiter's standpoint with regards to entering the Army in the early 2000s, that was the same as guilty.  

No clue on how it will show federal with regards to firearms, etc.  

I know you're not out there trying to join the Army, just tossing that out there from previous experience.  

Good luck and keep your head up either way.

Ask your attorney, but generally a diversion (in most  states) does not result in conviction, assuming the person goes through the prescribed period with no issues.  So should be GTG as far as firearms go.  That's usually the best result for a good person who get charged with a b.s. charge.  They almost never offer that to actual criminals.  Sounds like the ADA is giving you a break.

You are correct except the break.  I did nothing and was jailed for 3 days.  I was made to leave the jail in my bloody tshirt, boxers and bare foot.  The wife knew I called the cops and staged a great scene,  firearms are no problem except they took an expensive hand gun that was laying out holstered.  There was never accusations of firearm play, just took the fucker.  I imagine it will be a year to get it back.  That means driving 1600 miles. They wanted all guns.  I told them they were in safes and I would not open them.



Thanks everyone for the prayers, calls and offers.

You don't owe anything to anybody here.  You owe your loved ones for loving you and wanting to see pictures of the family that you are yet to have.  It always grows.  and makes you set horrible things aside.  

I like a drink too, but the rest of me feeds people that would not have it otherwise.   Doing that makes any person troubled feel better.
Even just a random offering.  A bag of dog or cat food to the local humane society or shelter...  Give $20 to a mom at Goodwill genuinely shopping for kids clothes.
Buy the enlisted folk in line behind you their dinner.

Giving something positive to someone deserving is always worthwhile, and they are always there.



So are you.
