It depends on the state and the criminal background of the individual that gets charged. What state are you referring to?
It varies depending on whether the charge is state or federal, the type of firearm and if it was used in the commisison of a crime. 2-10 years.

5 years in any state- Federal law.
When you charge a firearm, it cocks the hammer (or the striker, depending on the firearm) and readies it for firing.

If you were convicted of the felony, you may not possess a firearm. If you were not found guilty, you may. Charge is a very vague term.
Probably not. With the exception of crimes such as possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, a prior charge or conviction is irrelevant to the new charge. If convicted of the new charge, the prior offense could impact sentencing.

Sort of. Just possessing the firearm would be one charge, and another charge by discharging the firearm (assuming it is in violation of a statute). But discharging the firearm several times will more than likely increase the punishment. This depends on what he shot at and your state law. There is absolutely no way to know what someones punishment will be, there are just too many factors.
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.
It depends. In Tennesee, there is a charge for illegal possession of a firearm, which is simply carrying an unauthorized firearm, and can be a misdemeanor. There is also "intent to go armed" which can be a felony. If the gun is not loaded, the charge will probably be the former, if the officer doesn't think you were up to anything bad.
