Other Criminal Charges & Offenses Class 5 felony

[Elc5280]

Jurisdiction

Colorado

I have a class 5 felony conviction of computer crime from the state of CO in Larimer county. It was over 20 years ago. It is a bit misleading because it was actually because of a calling card used totalling 600.00. My questions are can I go to school and become a para legal or even a lawyer. Can I own a gun as it was not s violent crime? I never served any prison time. I paid all restitution, the only reason I have the conviction is because I fell short of completing my community service on the extension that was given to me.

US firearms laws prohibit the purchase/ownership of firearms by felons for life.

Felons aren't barred by statute from attending schools.
Some professions bar felons from being licensed.
State licensing agencies determine one's ability to become attorneys.

I suggest you inquire of a specific college/university as regards admission.

For information on paralegal or attorney licensure in CO, as your state's licensing agencies.

And now you reap the consequences of that lapse of judgment.
