Difficult to answer - too much is unknown. You can be pretty sure that they will be returned to jail/prison to serve the remainder of their original sentence. In the meantime they will be charged and tried for the firearm possession offense, and that sentence will probably be added onto the top of their original sentence. If the felon was charged under the federal statute they could be imprisoned for up to 15 years on the firearm charge alone.
This depends on the exact charges brought, and the prior record of the person charged.
If you are not a convicted felon, or have not been convicted of a crime of Domestic Violence, there is no prohibition against owning or possessing a shotgun, or any other firearm.HOWEVER - if you are a convicted felon or a convicted Domestic Abuser, and you are arrested in possession of a firearm, you could face up to 15 years in prison.
Both the state and the federal prison sentences for felon in possession of a firearm, make no distinction as to whether the weapon is loaded or not. The federal rap can be up to 15 years in prison.
It depends on whether they were charged under state or federal statute. If charged under federal law, they could receive up to 15 years for simply possessing the firearm, much less discharging it. In addition - any other crime that was associated with their discharging of it, could be added on to the possession charge.
The federal maximum for this offense is 15 years in federal prison.
