Question
I live in dedham MA and seven years ago i was areested in walpole MA, for possesion of marijuana. i had to appear in wrentham district court and the case was continued without a guilty finding, and i received 6 mons. probation. my question is, will this keep me from getting a firearms license in dedham? thank you for your time and hope to hear back soon.

Answer
Michael,

Thanks for asking. There is a good chance because of it being drug related that it may keep you from obtaining a firearm license. If it does cause you to not get the permit, you can file to expunge or pardon your record. Both of these actions may require legal help.

Best regards,

Dan
