request reconsideration by the department by completing the "Request for
Reconsideration" Section of the Denial Notice in the presence of the sheriff
within thirty (30) days of the date of the Denial Notice.
Section 2. If an applicant completes the
Request for Reconsideration Section of the Denial Notice, the sheriff shall:
(1) Place the completed Denial Notice and
related material, if applicable, in a single applicant packet; and
(2) Transmit the completed single applicant
packet to the department on the date established by the CCDW-LEOSA Application
Mailing Schedule For Sheriffs.

clerk or law enforcement agency showing the disposition of criminal charges
against the applicant;

certificate or statement from a court clerk or law enforcement agency showing
that the applicable records have been destroyed or are otherwise
unavailable;
(3) A certificate or
statement from the appropriate department of the Armed Forces or other
government agency showing the disposition of charges against the
applicant;

statement by the applicant setting forth the nature of the applicant's
discharge or separation from the Armed Forces;

whether or not the applicant and the victim shared a child in common at the

(8) Any
other documentation relevant to evaluating the request for
reconsideration.
Section
4. If the department determines that the request for
reconsideration is valid and that the applicant is not disqualified from being
issued a license, it shall issue a license as set forth in
502 KAR 11:010,
Section 11.
