You would have to research the organization you wish to work for OR the school in which you wish to take your technical training. Unfortunately - it is VERY unlikely that you would be hired to this kind of work with that kind of criminal history. The fact being, that defense attornies will ALWAYS bring up your prior criminal background in order to throw doubt into the jury's mind about the truthfulness of the results of your work product.
No, having been convicted his credibility will always be considered questionable.
of course you can. You have seen the errors of your ways, paid your debt to society, and wish to proclaim your salvation to the world
It depends. I have seen applications which ask if there has been a felony conviction in "X" number of years, and I have seen applications which ask if you have EVER been convicted of a felony or crime. So each application would be a case-by-case basis. If your conviction was ten years ago and the application asks about the last seven, I would say no. Similarly, some applications ask if you have ever been convicted of a crime, not just a felony. So a misdemeanor would also have to be disclosed. Most states allow you to set aside or expunge your record. Generally you can not have been convicted of a violent crime or sexual crime to be eligible. Once you apply for and are approved by the courts for this process you no longer need to answer "yes" to the criminal conviction question, regardless how long it has been. Your record will still show up on fingerprint-based background checks, but more commercial checks which just ask for your SSN and DOB won't find it.
This is a state by state and case by case basis. The trend is moving toward not at all. The previously convicted are seen increasingly as second class citizens regardless of the time elapsed since their conviction, and incarceration and release.
Yes I think you could look at it that way, a robbery-holdup is seen as a blue collar crime, whereas embezzlement, or insider trading of stock account funds is seen as a white collar crime.
flys are often the first to be seen in a crime scene
Its a felony for a convicted felon to possess any firearm in any state(i'm almost positive about that, but there may be an exception somewhere). You could ask him to remove it, or lock it up when the kids are around. if you have seen it(not the kids but you) you can report it to the police. at the very least you can probably use it to get custody of the kids since a firearm in the open can constitute an unsafe environment for children. I'd also tell the kids to never touch it or let their friends touch it, we dont need anymore kids shooting other kids by accident. Child and Family Services could go look w/out a warrent, i believe the police would need a warrent to look.

to stop criminals and to investigate a crime seen
If the witness has already testified that they have seen the crime occur, and it is now time for cross examination, then it would be being conducted by the attorney defending the person charged with the crime (the defense attorney).
Penalties for Corporate Crimes are no different then penalties for non-corporate crimes. The penalty should fit the crime and will change depending on the level of the crime. In recent years we have seen more corporate crime but we have not really seen the penalties being put in place.
Your probation will be immediately revoked and you will be ordered to jail. Then you will be charged with the new crime and have to face court action for the gun offense too. THEN: it can depend on what your personal scenario is. Are you a CONVICTED felon or simply just charged with a felony? If you are already convicted of a felony you are looking at SERIOUS prison time (federal time can run to 15 years). Feds will pick up the case. mandatory minimum is usually 60 months but Ive seen people get 30 months, 36 months. Minimum states 5 years though
You must disclose it if asked about your criminal history. If you don't, it'll come up in a background check and you'll be seen as a liar. If you tell the truth, you have a much better chance of success. No one's perfect and most employers and schools will recognize that.
