I havent been in trouble for ten years and didnt realize that I couldn't own or possess a gun. My son Had a gun and my husband is a convicted felone and I didnt want the gun in my house so I pawned the gun to get it out of my house. I went to get the gun out today to give it back to my son and found out that I could not own a gun because I was a felone. What is going to happen know and what next steps should I take. Do I let the gun go so I don't get in anymore trouble or do I try to get my gun rights and fight this. Or am I screwed and hope they don't come and arrested me for this crap I live in Washington state
