Absolutely!!!

When it comes to filling out the CCW application and the Interview, total disclosure is your friend.

Thanks,

What Harry Carry said.

Follow the instructions exactly. Don't look for any loophole. Whatever the transgression, not being open and honest about it is worse.

They can check. Whether or not they do check is completely up to them.

Ditto.

They CAN see everything. Minor transgressions won't disqualify you - but not revealing minor transgressions WILL disqualify you.

What if you can't remember the specifics of a moving violation? It says list any violations in the past 5 years... what if I don't have the paperwork for something that happened like 5 years ago? Is there any way I can look up that info?

1) Go to the DMV, there's a simple form (and a small fee, a few dollars) to pull your records.

2) The DMV records are not absolutely complete, LE can get a more complete record. So if you remember something that ISN'T on the DMV print out, list as much as you can remember. Approximate date (like "Late 90's) location ("Los Angeles Area") and type of violation ("Speeding on a freeway") is better than nothing.

Call your auto insurance agent he / or she can tell you everthing that shows on your MVR

I'm not certain where you can get the information, that may depend on when and where it occurred, but if you do your part and disclose as best as you remember, it will show your intent to be ethical and "up front". If the BC finds or doesn't find the details, you would have a chance to discuss the incidents during an interview.

Either way, you need to do your best at disclosing the facts as best as you remember. It DID occur.

excellent, thanks guys. Just what I wanted to hear.
