Plaintiff vs. Police Department

CLIENT’S APPLICATION FOR A LICENSE TO CARRY FIREARMS WAS DENIED FOR FAILING TO DISCLOSE MARIJUANA ARRESTS, BUT ATTORNEY PATRICK J. NOONAN CONVINCES THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO ISSUE AN LTC TO THE CLIENT.

The client applied for a License to Carry Firearms, but the application was denied because the Police Department alleged that the client was an unsuitable person for failing to disclose marijuana arrests on his application. Attorney Patrick J. Noonan appealed the denial to the district court. Attorney Noonan argued that the client did not deliberately conceal the marijuana arrests because the arrests were very old. When he applied for the LTC, the client did not obtain a copy of his criminal record and he did not have the benefit of reviewing his criminal record in order to accurately disclose his past marijuana arrests. After reviewing Attorney Noonan’s appeal, the police department agreed to issue the client a License to Carry Firearms.
