Can a person be convicted of a firearm if it was made 70 years ago and is not working?
No one is convicted of a firearm- you are convicted of doing something with it that was illegal. Carrying concealed, brandishing, threatening, etc. In the US, firearms made after 1898 are considered firearms- guns made before then are antiques. My 1940 firearms still work quite well, and they are 70 years old. You need to talk with an attorney, and not WikiAnswers.

In most states it is another felony for a convicted felon to own or be in posession of a firearm. It would also depend upon the person's "terms of release". Even though someone has served their sentence, in most cases certain requirements are imposed upon said person, especially when it pertains to firearms. Generally a convicted felon cannot use or be in the presence of a firearm for several years; the exact time would be determined by the release agreement and/or state law . In a few states an exception is made relating to legal, licensed firearms belonging to another person but in the same residence as the person in question.
