I don't have much helpful to add, but I had a colleague who had a bad night, acquired some felony charges for a firearm-related assault and they got fired/blacklisted for a few years.

Subsequently, they did IT contract work behind the scenes with small contractors, kept in touch with his professional network, was super helpful to the rest of us, and after serious concerns and much debate, got back into his prior career with a new employer.

I don't even know how, because normally a felony would be a no-hire, but he pulled it off, likely because he was so helpful and giving to his professional network throughout this mess.

That’s one hell of a bad night.

Some places are more willing than others to charge anybody using or brandishing a firearm, regardless of the circumstances, and sometimes those exactly are the states which charge very aggressively for it. Heck, I've heard of people just being charged for driving into a wrong state with a loaded magazine laying somewhere in their trunk. Not all laws everywhere make sense.
