Yes, you can receive a gun license if you have a misdemeanor. The right to bear arms is only taken away if you are convicted of a felony. Hope that helps!
Actually, it depends on what the misdemeanor is. A misdemeanor for domestic violence disqualifies you from legally owning a gun. If a misdemeanor has a charge can (even if it didn't) get you a prison sentence of more than a year, that also disqualifies you in most cases.

∙ 14y agoPersons that are "unlawful users of, or addicted to controlled drugs" are prohibited by Federal law from purchasing firearms. In general, a SINGLE misdemeanor conviction for possession or marijuana may not be a disqualifier. Multiple convictions are more likely to disqualify you. You may want to check with the firearms section of the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. This is the Federal agency that regulates firearms. You can find their website under ATF.gov.
