California law that prevents someone from being a police officer

[Aidokea]

Your profile says you're 41 years old. The CHP web site says they don't hire anyone over 35 years old. What gives?

Looking for some assistance, I recently met with my background investigator for the screening interview, I stated I have to DUI’s one was 15 years ago and the other 12 years ago, he stated I could never be a police officer because of a California state law that won’t allow person’s with two dui’s to carry a gun as police. I know for felony convictions that applies and I know I have an up hill battle with two DUI’s, but my DUI’s are only misdemeanor, no felony conviction and no injuries to anyone. Is anybody familiar with this California law, I have never hear of anything like this. Any insight anybody might have would be much appreciated.
