It depends on whether they were charged under state or federal statute. If charged under federal law, they could receive up to 15 years for simply possessing the firearm, much less discharging it.
In addition - any other crime that was associated with their discharging of it, could be added on to the possession charge.
In addition to California law that makes possession of a firearm by a convicted felon a STATE felony, Federal law prohibits possession, and requires a 5 year sentence, without probation or parole.
Sort of. Just possessing the firearm would be one charge, and another charge by discharging the firearm (assuming it is in violation of a statute). But discharging the firearm several times will more than likely increase the punishment. This depends on what he shot at and your state law. There is absolutely no way to know what someones punishment will be, there are just too many factors.
No. No convicted felon can ever lawfully be in possession of a firearm.
no
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!

Burglary , illegal possession of a firearm and larceny .
California Penal Code Section 12021(c)(1) pertains to the unlawful possession of a firearm by individuals who have been convicted of certain felonies. Specifically, it makes it illegal for anyone who has been convicted of a felony to possess a firearm, with specific provisions and exceptions outlined in the law. Violating this statute can result in felony charges and significant penalties. It is part of California's broader efforts to regulate firearm possession and enhance public safety.
Yes it is unlawful for you to be anywhere around firearms regardless of WHO owns them. To be in the same place as a firearm places you in what the law calls "concurrent possession" of the firearm. You could be convicted of the possession and sentenced to prison ESPECIALLY if you are a federally convicted felon.
Please refer to RCW 9.41.040.
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.
Yes, if you were convicted of it. It's a felony charge.
