What does POSS GP 2 CS LT 28 G mean?
Can I purchase a firearm and get my passport with this charge?
Thank you

These short hand phrases are unique to the particular county and how their computers are set up. That is probably possession of a controlled substance, penalty group 2 less than 28 grams. The problem with this is that for possession of a controlled substance, penalty group 2 the weight categories do not include a 28 gram level. There is under 1 gram, 1-4 grams, 4-400 grams and over 400 grams. All of these are felonies which will effect your rights regarding firearms. If this is a typo and it should be penalty group 3 (makes more sense), there is an under 28 grams designation which would make it a Class A misdemeanor. A misdemeanor should not effect your rights regarding firearms.
I think in any case, there is no prohibition on obtaining a passport. You should consult with a Board Certified Criminal Law Specialist.
