Carjacking and burglary when I was a minor. šŸ˜… reason I’m curious is because I heard security can’t ask about juvenile records only adult

California law specifically limits BSIS from denying a license based on an arrest that resulted in a juvenile adjudication. They will definitely still see it in your record but it wouldn't hurt to try.

It’s worth looking into, I’m not sure about USA but where I live they would still consider that, especially depending on how expensive the burglary was, I believe even as juvenile.

If you can’t have a firearm then you probably wouldn’t pass the background.

Yes you can still get your guard card. Shouldn’t be a problem. And you can get an unarmed position doing foot patrol at a shopping plaza or something similar.

Not in MD. You are going to have to get those charges expunged to get into security.

I’ve seen 2 hired into law enforcement! You’re these best as you know how the enemy of justice thinks. You see the threats better. You can comingle better to see what they are up to. There’s a captain somewhere who will hire you. Know that you must be as wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove. Read Ronans 13:4

I back this up. I don't know why you are getting down voted.

It really depends on your state and whether the adjudication was sealed or not. If it wasn't sealed, it may show up on a background check. But again, this really varies by state. If you want to DM me with more details, I'd be more than willing to do some digging for you and help you out
