Can he be a probation officer and carry a gun?

Re: felony expungement
He may qualify. However, there is a code section which provides that anyone who has a felony conviction cannot be hired as a peace officer. This restriction applies to those cases in which the felony is a wobbler and the felony is reduced to a misdemeanor by PC section 17. see government code section 1029 for the restrictions
