I'm applying for a residence/target pistol permit. I have downloaded an application from the local police dept. and have started filling it out by hand just as a draft. I will type everything later and submit it in person.
There is a question on the application I'm not sure how to answer, however I want to answer it accurately and truthfully, since the truth will come out anyway when they do my background check.
the question is:
Have the police ever responded to an incident of domestic violence to which you were involved? Yes or No, if you answer yes write out an explanation in detail on an 8.5 X 11 paper and have it notarized
Here is the scenario, no more than 2 years ago, my dad was pissed off at me for taking too long of a shower, so he barges into my room as I was getting dressed and tries to beat me up. In self defense, I took him down and dragged him out of my room, while naked and wearing nothing but my bath robe. Anyhow, there was a lot of yelling going on and all, so i asked my mom to call the cops since my dad wouldnt back down.
When the cops came from my local precinct, things were calm by then and they took a statement from me that "we were yelling at each other out of control and that, there was some grappeling but nothing more"
Then one question that the cops asked me that stuck out in my mind was are there guns in the house, which I responded no.
But anyhow here is the question, will this incident still be on record even though there was no arrest involved? Will this one incident cause me to be denied from getting my license even though I answer "yes" and give a short statement like, "we got into a verbal argument, cops were summonsed to the house to calm things down, and that everything was resolved quickly and peacefully"
Sorry for the drama, I hope someone can give me some advice.
Worse comes to worse, I'll just go down to my neighborhood police station to ask them my question.
