[QUOTE="StephanieD, post: 2328184, member: 27126"] Hi Bob! Thank you so much! That sounds pretty logical to me - I mean I kinda figured that none of them could land me in jail for more than a year but I didn't know for sure & the DUI & the shoplifting combined w/ possession were the ones that concerned me the most & seemed like they probably COULD have carried a sentence of more than a year - not much more I wouldn't think - but if that were the case then I would certainly have to be honest & answer "yes" - I didn't want to get caught up in a lie - they really should change that question around, COULD HAVE is pretty broad & vague & difficult to answer - breaking it up into "have a felony?", "any other crimes? If yes list them in the space below", "Could have been sentenced to more than a year?" should have an "I don't know for sure" option & then just list the convictions & they will know (or should anyway) being the FBI & all, if that conviction COULD have resulted in a sentence of more than a year. But that is just my opinion & it usually doesn't count for much! In my profession I go thru background checks yearly, both OSBI & the national NCIC database, & come up clear - oddly enough those misdemeanors don't show up but I always disclose upfront if asked if I've ever been arrested for anything - honesty is best - if you hide it it will always come back to bite you in the a** sooner or later & then you not only look like a criminal but a liar as well. Thanks so much again, Stephanie [/QUOTE]
