What happens if you are convicted of an illegal possession of a firearm?

It depends on the circumstances and the question doesn't give any clues. If you are a convicted felon you are probably looking at hard time.


What degree is a stolen firearm?

(in the US) The degree of the crime is determined by the value of the item stolen, and whether or not it crosses the value line into being a felony offense. There is no specific criminal charge for theft of a firearm, unless a felon (or convicted felon) happens to be the one that steals it. Then the penalty is enhanced by the fact that this is a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.


What happens if someone get caught with a gun and they are on prole in Colorado and has a disability?

What happens if a felon trys to fill out paper work to buy a firearm and is turned down and is trying to buy the gun a felony and Can they be arrested and convicted?

Not only can they be, but they will be. As per federal law, a felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms. Entering a gun shop violates the last one of those, and thus they become a felon in possession of a firearm.


Can a convicted felon that is on probation live with someone that has a gun in a gun safe?

No. If the firearm is in the same residence in which you live you are in "constructive possession" of it. It makes no difference where it is kept. PERIOD! No one is going to believe that you don't have access to it, especially if you are in a "relationship" with the owner of the gun, who just happens to live with you.


Can you be a police officer in Indiana with a felony?

The answer is generally, No. Federal law states that convicted felons, as well as those convicted of a crime of domestic violence, cannot carry, possess, or own a firearm. Firearm possession is a requirement for the job, so it pretty much precludes you from employment. About the only way as a convicted felon you could become a police officer is for your felony charge to be expunged, and your civil rights, more specifically your right to possess a firearm, be restored. Even if that happens, you most likely will have a long road ahead, as it is unlikely you will be able to survive a background check with the conviction. Even though it is expunged, police departments can still find an expunged record.


Can a convicted felon live with someone that has gun in a safe and they have no access to the weapons in Virginia?

No. If the firearm is in the same residence in which you live you are in "constructive possession" of it. It makes no difference where it is kept. PERIOD! It is HIGHLY doubtful anyone is going to believe that you don't have access to it, especially if you are in a "relationship" with the owner of the gun, who just happens to live with you.

What happens to firearms you already own if you get convicted of a non-violent felony?

Whether a violent or non-violent felony, once a person is convicted, they are no longer allowed to own a firearm. In Texas, five years after the anniversary of the end of your parole or the end of the your prison sentence, you may possess one in your home; however, you may not carry one with you outside.
