A friend of mine confessed to me yesterday that he was arrested at the age of 13 for climbing in an open window at his school to "liberate" a bike for the weekend (happened nearly 40 years ago). It's a long story, and I don't want to go into the details here, but the bottom line, is that his parents did not hire a lawyer and threw him on the mercy of the court. He was convicted of a felony and received probation. He is (or was ) planning on filing for a CC permit, but is worried that this will come up and bite him in the rear. Does anyone know if a 40 year old juvenile conviction will show up on the background check ...or be cause for denial?
