well im getting the run around again to some degree. called the ATF, they gave me the # to the baltimore division, who in turn said that i must call the state police because they handle that type of situation. that # is the same # i called before when the state officer said that the STET is not a conviction so it wont matter. i duhno. i see both sides as having a point, i see that an official arrest shows i was at least sometime a "user", but i also see that its not a conviction b/c its STET and even if it was a conviction, its a misdeminour and how long would i have to wait to get a handgun then? well it seems people are tired of talking about this, ill just have to call a lawyer, or the president of the USA lol (who would still prob. give me a runaround answer). thanks for all ur guys help
