Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in Georgia

Handgun permit with a simple battery conviction

Seven years ago my husband was convicted of simple battery against me. I was not injured at all, but we had an argument which got a little physical. We have had no other physical altercations since. He would like to get a permit to carry a handgun and believes he cannot with this conviction on his record. Is there something I can do, a letter, go before a judge and explain that he is not a violent person and that I have not fear from him carrying a handgun? I am not sure what area of the law this goes under, maybe an appeal. Thank you.

Re: Handgun permit with a simple battery conviction

I don't know the specific limitations on carrying concealed weapons, but I imagine they will reject his application if he has been convicted of a crime. And I highly doubt that the victim cannot reverse the conviction seven years later because her husband wants to carry a gun.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
