No the weapon first has to be found, then only can a person be convicted.
That you were in possession (see legal definition of this as it can be more than in your hand!) of a firearm (check what constitutes a "firearm" in Florida, it can vary) And you are a convicted fellon! No need to explain the latter!
Yes
5 years
No.
It is court or police abbreviated 'lingo' meaning Felon In Possession of a Firearm.
No. No convicted felon can ever lawfully be in possession of a firearm.
No, being in such a situation places the felon in what is known in the law as "Concurrent Possession" of a firearm.
Convicted felon in possession of a firearm is a FEDERAL offense and would be handled under the sentencing guidelines in effect in the federal court system NOT Illinois.
Very simply, a felon cannot own or have possession of a firearm, anywhere in the U.S. There is an exception. IN SOME CASES a felon can have some or all of his rights restored.
yes it is within your possesion
Yes.
Then I would imagine that there would be several reasons to hold the person involved. Unless the firearm was obtained while the felon was in a state of diminished capacity I would expect the possession charge to progress normally. The person had to have possession of the firearm to attempt suicide with it.
