In researching this question I was unable to quickly find the sentencing guideline for this offense but did, however, find the below cite of the law. FELONY FIREARMS ACT: Felony Firearms Act, found in N.C.G.S. § 14-415.1. This restriction on gun ownership applies to any person who has been convicted of any North Carolina felony or violation of criminal laws in other states, or the United States, which are punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one (1) year. Effective December 1, 2004, these individuals cannot purchase, own, possess, or have in their custody, care, or control, any firearm at any location, or any weapon of mass death and destruction. This prohibition continues indefinitely. This prohibition does not apply, however, to "antique firearms" as set forth in Section II. B. of this publication. The Federal Firearms Statute, at 18 U.S.C. § 922, is independent of North Carolina's and should be consulted before anyone convicted of a felony, in any state or federal court, possesses, receives or transports any firearm.
