Impact on Career of
a Gun Conviction

Will a conviction for a gun crime impact your career? It will depend to a large extent on the seriousness of your charges and what your career is. If you are convicted with a  misdemeanor offense and your job does not require background checks, it may not have an impact on your career. 

​

However, contrast that situation with being convicted for a felony gun case and you work in an area that is highly regulated such as being a registered nurse, engineer, or architect, and it becomes extremely likely that a conviction will have a negative impact on your career. Even if the industry you work in is not highly regulated, the intensity of background checks these days is such that a conviction may disqualify you from many jobs that you would otherwise qualify for. 

​
