owning or buying a handgun

[mooner91]

I was arrested for a dwi over a year ago and will be completing deferred adjudication in November and it will be dismissed... will I be able to buy and own a handgun after it is dismissed? I have looked all over and can not get a straight answer.

Thanks mooner91

Why were you driving drunk?

was your DWI a felony?

do you have a lawyer?

are you an alchy?

he figured he wasn't hurting anyone and he was just buzzed a little

Ask your attorney what "Deferred Adjudication" means.

It wasn't a felony and im not an alchy... I have been sober for over 1 year

I genuinely hope you can keep it together.

Congrats on the 1 year. Keep up the good work.

I haven't had a drop pass my lips in 3.5 years.

You never lost your ability to legally buy and own a handgun. Misdemeanor DWI is not a disqualifying offense.

If your case was dismissed i don't see the problem. But i am not a lawyer.
