You didn't really ask a question, but here is some information:

Generally speaking, no felon may own, posses, or have constructive possession of a handgun or other firearm, regardless of whether is was a "serious" felony.

HOWEVER,

There are exceptions to that. In a few states, felons can petition to have their rights restored - but it is only valid in THAT particular state. In that case, the felon CAN own or posses a firearm.

Is a felon in possession of a handgun a violent or non violent crime?

Generally speaking, simple possession of the handgun is a non-violent crime. Violent crime is normally defined as a crime where someone is hurt, or where force is used on another person. Note, however, depending on the local laws and the circumstances, it may still be a felony.


Is there a weapon that would result in a more serious offense if a convicted felon were charged with having possession of it than if it were some other type of weapon?

Yes. Any instrument that is prohibited by law for any citizen to have without a license, firearms, switchblade knife, explosives, etc. Almost any object that can cause bodily harm could be construed as a "weapon" if it is used against an individual(s). If a convicted felon was caught with a gun rather than a baseball bat he or she would face stiffer penalties, assuming the bat was not used in a criminal act.

A felony firearm charge can also be brought against convicted felon who is found in possession of a firearm, regardless of the intended or actual use of the weapon.

What is the difference between a felon and a x felon?

A felon is someone who committed a felony(More serious crime) An ex felon is someone who has finished parole and is back in society. Sorry, that is incorrect. "Ex-felon" is a grossly, almost always misused term. A person who was in prison on felony charges but is now out of prison is still a felon. The only way to be an ex-felon is to have been acquitted of the charges. I should also add that an expungement does not make you an ex-felon either. An expungement simply means the felony is no longer on your PUBLIC record. Also, a felon can sometimes have his rights restored, but that doesn't make you an ex-felon either.
