IYou can send letters to the President, and Members of Congress & the Senate. Share this link with all your family and friends - even with strangers. We are the People who elected these People to work for the People. The more noise you make - the more you'll be heard!

Let us send as many letters so as we can and let them know it's time to stop dodging their responsibility to us.

If you have a felony charge on your record you will not be able to get your security license. That is something that will unfortunately follow you. I have had my license for 12 years, that is one of the questions asked and if you lie it will be found because they do a complete background check on you as well. Sorry it is not good news.

Sorry friend, the "F" is an automatic bar in every state in the union so far as I know.

You cannot be licensed.

Not in all states. Some states go by the type of felony it is. I know I have one also. Illinois and some other Midwestern states bar you but, others like Connecticut go by what your charge was.

I have recently found out that if you have a felony conviction you can get your firearm rights restored, depending upon the type of felony. You would not qualify because you have a gun case. You could write a petition to the the governor for an executive pardon, which could take years. Having a violent felony is worst than any others ... not to seem discouraging. You can however, work in the healthcare industry. You would then need to apply for a waiver. Contact the Department of Health in Springfield and they will send you an application. You should check out Margaret Colgate Love, Relief from the Collateral Consequences of a Criminal Conviction, to know what your options are. Good Luck

Please note some of the information you will find in the afore mentioned..
Discretionary Retorative Mechanisms
Firearms: Firearm privileges lost upon a felony conviction may be restored by the Department of State Police. 720 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/24-1.1(a). The State Police will grant relief if: (1)the applicant has not been convicted of a "forcible felony" within the preceding 20 years or 20 years have passed since release from imprisonment for that offense; (2) he is not likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety; and (3) restoration of firearm privileges would not be "contrary to the public interest." 430 Ill. Comp. Stat. 65/10(c)

Hope this is helpful

NO THE LAWS OF THE STATE NEW YORK BACKGROUND CHECK, CANNOT
IMMEDIATELY CHECK-OUT ANY FELONY OR ARRESTS.
AND TO BE AN FOREIGNER WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING
COMPANIES STILL WILL CHECK FOR ANY ARREST MADE
THEN THE LICENSES BUREAU OF NYS WILL NOT ALLOW
THE PERSON TO BE EMPLOYED. SOME ARREST ARE RACIST
POFILE AND DISMISSED IN COURT OF LAW.
BUT TO DO SOME INDENTITY THEFTS ON OTHER WOMEN
AND THEN WORK IN THE NYS SECURITY GUARD COMPANY
IS FEDERAL CRIMES UNDER THE LAW.

Hi,

Felony is a punishable offense. The culprit can be sentenced to maximum of one year in prison. You can seek some legal advice in this matter as you are trying for a security kind of job.
