Answer
Yes they have the right to turn you down for a firearm permit, It's at their discretion if they find something in your background undesirable.  It may not mean you can't purchase a firearm they just are not giving you the right to carry concealed.
You can try to have the Military over turn your discharge. I don't know how that process goes but I know people who had that done.


Good Luck
