Misdemeanor gun ownership refers to the unlawful possession or ownership of firearms by individuals who have been convicted of certain misdemeanors. In many jurisdictions, individuals with misdemeanor convictions related to domestic violence, drug offenses, or other specified crimes are prohibited from owning firearms. These restrictions aim to prevent individuals with a history of violence or criminal behavior from accessing firearms.
Owning a gun is not illegal if you follow the laws.
This is a matter of federal law, not state law. Most misdemeanors won't disqualify you from owning a firearm, but some will. For example, any domestic violence conviction, even if only a misdemeanor, will disqualify you. We'd need to know specifically what the misdemeanor was in order to give an absolute answer.
Depends on what the misdemeanor was.
