In Georgia, you cannot purchase a gun if you have been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence within the past 5 years. Other types of misdemeanors within the past 5 years should not automatically disqualify you from buying a gun, but the background check performed by the licensed firearms dealer may still impact your eligibility.
