Lets put something up here a little more significant than a bad typists opinion. In most cases, no a felon cannot be a teacher. In some states there are means of obtaining certification with some drawn out paperwork.

I am a convicted felon and I am teaching in 2 Florida community colleges. However, my crime was not a crime of "moral turpitude". Most felonies are, and crimes of moral turpitude will exclude you from teaching in Florida.

That depends on whether you really are an "ex"-felon, or a felon who doesn't seem to be aware of the difference.

Let's say you get convicted of a felony crime. Somewhere down the road, new evidence surfaces which exonerates you of the crime, and you get acquitted. When your felony conviction is overturned, then you become an ex-felon, and only if it's overturned - a pardon does not overturn your conviction. Those people who've had their convictions overturned could become teachers.

Now let's say you're convicted for a felony. You serve your sentence, and your conviction is overturned. While you're in prison, you're a felon. When you get out of prison, guess what? You're still a felon, and you won't be able to become a teacher.

In most states, convicted felons are not allowed to teach school. However, it is a not an automatic. Sometimes the type of felony is taking into consideration.

Not if that conviction resulted from drug charges, violent offenses, any crime involving use of a gun or other weapon, or a crime with a sexual component.

Can you become a lawyer with a felony?

It varies from state to state. In most states, a felony conviction does not expressly preclude one from becoming an attorney, however, it is a factor taken into consideration during the moral fitness evaluation that precedes the bar exam. So while there might not be a rule that says "no attorney will have a felony conviction" the state can keep you from taking the bar exam if they believe the felony conviction shows that the person attempting to take the bar exam lacks the moral fitness required to become a lawyer. It is reviewed on a case-by-case basis and any denial to sit for the bar can be addressed by an appeal. So, the short answer is, yes, someone with a felony conviction can indeed... theoretically, become an attorney. The likelihood of it happening is yet another story.

Can employment be obtained with a felony conviction?

Yes, a felony does not prevent you from gaining employment. It might limit your employment opportunities. It depends on what the felony conviction is... fraud or embezzling would probably keep you from working in a bank or securities exchange. Most retail businesses would not hirer you either. That said, you could work in hospitals, construction field, entertainment and public services. Do Not lie if asked if you have a felony, be honest and explain it. If it was 3 or 4 years ago and no arrest since then you have a greater chance of being hired.

If your husband is a ex felon can you have a gun?

Provided you do not have a felony conviction and only your husband does, there is nothing preventing you from owning a gun. Keep in mind though that the interpretation many law enforcement agencies and prosecutors have of felony firearms possession laws is very loose, and if for some reason your husband is found by LEO's to be in close proximity to your gun, he could be charged.
