In many jurisdictions, a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) conviction can impact your ability to obtain a handgun license. Depending on the laws in your state or country, a DWI may be considered a disqualifying offense, potentially barring you from obtaining a firearm license. It's essential to check the specific regulations in your area, as they can vary widely. Consulting with a legal expert can provide clarity based on your individual circumstances.
No
DWI is at least a Class B misdemeanor, and you are ineligible for a license for five years after a conviction for a Class A or Class B misdemeanor or for disorderly conduct. This includes cases that were dismissed after you completed probation or deferred adjudication. If you have been convicted of two or more alcohol or drug-related offenses within the last 10 years, you may not be eligible
Some of the penalties from a DWI are as follows. The arresting officer will take your license. If you are under the age of 21 and are caught with a DWI there is zero tolerance. If you are a repeat DWI offender you will get jail time. Your license will be suspended and you will have to pay a big fine.
It's hard to imagine a situation where you didn't face suspension or restriction on your driver's license after a DWI, unless the DWI is dismissed entirely. If it is your first DWI/DUI it's more likely that you can get probation and hold on to your license.
Laws on this vary by jurisdiction.
