Is someone charged with witness tampering a felon?
Not unless a court/jury finds that person GUILTY of the crime. Being charged is not the same as being convicted. Without being convicted, the person's record is clean. Meanwhile, if charged.... Get a lawyer! Say nothing until having talked with the lawyer.

What is the different between being convicted and being charged with a crime?
Being charged with the crime is a formal accusation by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS- In England and Wales) that you have committed a crime. In the USA, the law enforcement or prosecutor charges I am led to believe. Same principle however. *It certainly does not mean you are guilty, and everyone is innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. It then has to go to court for a conviction or acquittal (guilty or not guilty) Thus, a conviction is basically a finding of guilt for the charge by the court (who represent the state and the community at large) that you have committed a crime and are to be punished for such offence, this is sentencing.
What word means to say that a person is guilty of a crime?
In the US, the only time you can say a person is guilty of a crime is after they have been convicted of the crime. Until a person is convicted or admits guilt in a court of law, they are charged with the crime or suspected of the crime.

Can an ex con own a gun in Arizona?
A person convicted of a felony (crime that can be punished by a year or more in prison) cannot legally own a firearm in ANY state of the US- this is covered in Federal law. If convicted of a State (not Federal) crime, the person MAY be able to petition for restoration of firearm rights. The process to do that needs legal advice from a lawyer- and I am not.
