Convicted of Assault on a Female, Wayne Co. North Carolina

i was convicted of assault on a female for biting my girlfriends hand when she shoved it in my mouth due to my bantering and so belittlement.

i was ordered to take a relationship building "class" of 26 weeks and supervised probation until the classes are completed.

my question, before the conviction i got 5 handgun purchase permits in my county. Will these still be valid and will i be able to buy a handgun when the probation period is over and the class meetings are satisfied?

The GS reads a list of disqualifying crimes which do not apply to me, then says any crime of violene in Chapter 14 article 8 and i DO NOT see anything in that chapter and article about domestic violence, i may be overlooking.

I just want a second professional opinion.

Thanks for any information.

I am in North Carolina if anyone needs that info to help in replying.

Edited to add: before i got the permits approved by the sheriff of my county, i had been convicted of simple assault which obviously did not have any negative bearing on the decision of my handgun purchase permit approval.

Anyone have any insight on this?

You might be out of luck,in a lot of states if you have a conviction for dv you can't have a gun. Is there a number or something u can call.

this is what i was thinking, up until i posted on another forum as well, and found out that a disqualifying factor is "domestic violence convictions"...i was charged and convicted with simple assault on a female...and since we were not living together...doesnt seem to be a domestic violence charge
