What does felony possession of a loaded firearm mean?

A felony is a crimnal act that can be punished by one year or more in prison. There are places where it is highly illegal to possess a loaded gun. If you are found to have a loaded gun in one of those places, that is the criminal charge that would be brought against you. Please be sure that you did not mean "Felon in possession of a loaded firearm". If you were convicted of an earlier felony, you lose your right to possess a gun. To be a felon in possession of a loaded gun is a separate crime. You should seek legal advice from an attorney in your state.
