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.
