Not enough information to answer. What is making the possession of it "illegal?" Was it used in an unlawful manner? Is it a stolen weapon? Are you an adjudged felon?
Burglary , illegal possession of a firearm and larceny .
check with your local police department for the answer.......................
It is having a firearm under your control when there is a law that says you cannot. It may be that you have it physically in reach, or that you control access to it (have the keys to a safe)
Each firearm can be a different charge. 10 firearms means 10 different counts.
You will have to contact your military recruiter for the final answer. I suspect that if there is no record of a conviction, you will make it.
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).
In oder to be in possession it has to be on you or in your sorroundings.
If you're found to be in possession of a stolen firearm, expect to be taken into custody. If their investigation determines that you were knowingly in possession of a stolen firearm, then you'll be charged.
Techincally, no. Tennessee code annotated specifies "handgun" not "firearm" in the code pertaining to illegal possession. A black powder gun is not classified as a firearm, but it is classified as a handgun.
In general, no. However, if you found to be "a habitual user" of any controlled substance, that CAN be a disqualifier.
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.
