Is there a way the violation can be removed or not recognized?
I have misdemeanor for unlawfully carrying a weapon from 15 years ago. I served probation and was discharged successfully. I have not been in trouble since and was never convicted of a crime before then. I am about to get a criminal justice degree and the criteria for several jobs is no convictions above Class B; mine is a Class A.

Possibly you can have your prior conviction expunged. If so, the conviction for the misdemeanor will be eliminated from your record. I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney about this process.
Not all people who make an application to expunge their conviction are successful. The court looks at the type of conviction, its basis, how long ago the conviction happened, what the convicted person has done since and the reason for the request. Good luck.
