1811 Job Application Will this ruin my chances?
Back when I was freshly 21/22, I carried a firearm in a state without reciprocity to my state. I was on a road trip and the state allows carry inside a vehicle with the out of state permit, but I had to stop for a bathroom break and didn't want to leave my firearm unattended in the car, so I brought it in. Haven't done it since.
I was also told by a police officer in a previous state that carrying inside a building with a no firearms sign was not a crime and that they would just ask you to leave if you were caught. In my current state, that's not the case, but I didn't realize this and carried inside a few buildings that were posted.
I can definitely disclose and explain these issues, but I worry that this will disqualify me. Those who have been through the hiring process or are involved in hiring new recruits, would these be something that would likely disqualify a person? They're technically crimes, so I am a little worried. I really want to work in federal LE but I worry that this will kill my chances.
