My good friend Stump, how are you doing sir?

Here's what you must do. Before you can even get your hazmat you need to apply for it. The TSA background check will let you know if you qualify. If you apply and get approved then you're good to go. But they'll be the judge.

Prior to seeking or renewing the Hazardous Materials Endorsement, you must complete the application for the fingerprint and security background checks. Call 877-429-7746 or visit http://hazprints.tsa.dhs.gov to complete the application process and make an appointment at a convenient location. The fee must be paid at the time of application.

I went through this process recently. That "hazprints" website doesn't seem to exist anymore (well, it doesn't load for me). Try this one:

https://www.tsa.gov/for-industry/hazmat-endorsement

In there, there's a link that details "disqualifying offenses". But, it doesn't seem to be completely cut-and-dry.

I'm kinda curious as to this organized crime charge... I'm not judging or anything but that's a big charge and would love to hear/read the details... Not to make of course but I don't know but I'm curious.... But totally up to you though.

When I was 17 me and two other friends broke into a house well I didn't go in the house but I was there and didn't try to stop it so I was just as guilty when they put us in jail the charge was burglary of a habitat but they dropped that charge and gave us the organized crime because there was 3 or more people involved they said it was organized if I had the money I could have had the charge dropped to a lesser crime but I grew up poor
