    thank you ๐Ÿ™‚ I live in Connecticut and was arrested twice put on probation the second time but the record of even the arrest is expunged obviously the juvenile one was.. and the adult one is supposed to have been. I can’t find it on the jud.ct.gov site at least which is good. I’m wondering if you think an FBI /State of CT background check/criminal history are going to show them anyway? It’s ok if you don’t know I mean I can ask a lawyer somewhere. Too bad it really seems like trade schools in person, beyond just online training aren’t teaching locksmithing anymore ๐Ÿ™ By the way check out the awesome software called InstaCode if you haven’t. It’s a locksmith’s dream for referencing.
