You will need to consult with an attorney in your area as to this. Statutes vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. That having been said, there is a high probability that you will not be able to get your concealed weapons permit. A charge such as domestic violence typically precludeds this. Again, however, you should consult will a criminal defense lawyer as to your rights.

Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
