It depends on what the charge is. If it's a felony charge, you're not going to be able to. If it's a misdemeanor charge (for example, in NC, carrying a concealed handgun without a permit is a misdemeanor offence the first time), then you'll still be able to purchase firearms.
Charge- yes. Conviction- no.
probably a rifle but it might be hard to get a permit for a hand gun.
You need a lawyer to find out for sure.
Depends on the misdemeanor, and whether you were convicted or not.
No! Actually, that depends on where you are and what the charge is. In the U.S. any felony will prevent you from buying a gun legally, but misdemeanors do not, except for misdemeanors of domestic violence.
Yes. As long as your charge was a misdemeanor and not a felony. You may have a delay in your ability to actually take the gun home if the background checkers decide so. But eventually you should get the gun.
None. FEDERAL law prohibits it.
In PA you can
That depends on the specific charge. If it's related to drugs or domestic violence, then no.
Yes you can still buy a gun. If its a criminal charge for traffic no you cant but for a civil charge you might pay a hefty fine but usually no jail time and you can still buy a gun. The backround checks to see if your a felon or mentally unstable but not for a civil traffic ticket that would be a joke and a violation of your civil rights.
If the charge is expunged, yes. In a deferred judgment, if you meet the terms of the deferment, the judge dismisses the charge, and there is no conviction.
If the charge is still pending or you've been convicted, the answer is no - not just in Indiana, but anywhere else in the United States, as well.
