CAUTION: In addition to whatever state sentence may be applicable in NM for violation of NM's state laws it is also be FEDERAL felony offense for a convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm. The United States Code, in some cases, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm a mandatory minimum fifteen (15) years in prison. Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1).
