Depends on the law, the charges, and prior history of the person. However, this is serious, and you need a lawyer, not WikiAnswers.
at an illegal firearms store? No one here is going to tell you how to acquire an illegal firearm. It is illegal to purchase a stolen firearm or for a felon to purchase a firearm.
Each firearm can be a different charge. 10 firearms means 10 different counts.
No. However, local ordinances may prevent you from being able to discharge a firearm within town limits and such.
Illegal firearms are very rare, compared to the number of legal firearms in existence. Roughly half the households in the US own at least one firearm legally.
No. All firearms should be registered or licensed to a responsible holder to avoid accident or illegal discharge.
Yes it is concealed, but not illegal because black powder firearms are not considered a "firearm".
Depends on how oppressive your government is. Where I live, there is no such charge; the common people run the government, are presumed to be responsible, and and the citizenry is encouraged to posses firearms.
Owning or possessing a fully automatic firearm is not illegal under state law, but is still illegal under federal law unless the automatic firearm is registered under the National Firearms Act. Local and State authorities are not obligated to enforce federal firearms law or notify federal authorities of federal firearms law violations, however they may, or may not, choose to do so.
An illegal firearm can be anything that is modified to fire fully automatic or a non licensed suppressed or fully auto weapon as well as anything labeled as a destructive device ( cannon, grenade, 20mm rifle etc.) without proper firearms license and tax stamp. Also, it can be as simple as: any firearm you don't legally possess.
a firearm that was stolen. firearm in possession of a criminal. firearms not registered to owner. firearms bought in one state and taken to another state without proper transfer proceedure (unless person has moved from one state to another). firarms that has ersial number removed or altered. the weapon has been altered, i.e., barrel shorten. silencer put on a firearm with a license. weapon made into a machine gun................
It's very broad, the way you asked it. It can be having a firearm in some location where firearms are not allowed (inside a jail, for instance) or it can be having a firearm that is illegal to own, or it can be having possession of a firearm when you aren't authorized to (carrying without a permit, for instance).
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.
