Does being found guilty for paraphernalia mean you can’t get a gun permit, purchase certain guns, or get a concealed carry permit?
This is a petty misdemeanor. Also, if found guilty, will it show up on records in other states besides the one it was received in?

If you are found guilty of the charges that you have listed in your question by way of a trialo or a plea, the conviction most likely will be able to be accessed in the state of conviction in all other states in this country.
As to whether or not you will be able to purchase a gun or carry a concealed weapon all depends upon the laws of your state with respect to the ramifications of a misdemeanor conviction as to the charges that you have written about. I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney in the state you reside as to the questions concerning firearms.
