Those look like why they can deny a sale of a firearm by a business to an individual with one or more of those.

Possible Reasons for Ineligibility

The physical inability to handle a firearm safely.
A felony conviction (unless civil and firearm rights have been restored by the convicting authority).
Having adjudication withheld or sentence suspended on a felony or misdemeanor crime of violence unless three years have elapsed since probation or other conditions set by the court have been fulfilled.
A conviction for a misdemeanor crime of violence in the last three years.
A conviction for violation of controlled substance laws or multiple arrests for such offenses.
A record of drug or alcohol abuse.
Two or more DUI convictions within the previous three years.
Being committed to a mental institution or adjudged incompetent or mentally defective.
Failing to provide proof of proficiency with a firearm.
Having been issued a domestic violence injunction or an injunction against repeat violence that is currently in force.
Renouncement of U.S. citizenship.
A dishonorable discharge from the armed forces.
Being a fugitive from justice.

Every one of these cited reasons, with the exception of the first and tenth one, prohibits a person from owning or possessing a firearm. If a person meets any of these reasons for rejection of a carry permit, and own or posses a firearm before applying for a carry license, they are in violation of the law by having a firearm in their possession.
