How much time can a felon get for possession of a firearm?
Be VERY careful - it's not only Tennessee you have to worry about. In addition to whatever penalty your state has for the firearms offense, it also remains a 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). The addition of the other two offenses only makes it worse. The offender is looking at some SERIOUS time behind bars.

Is it legal to own a stun gun in the UK?
HM Revenue & Customs helps to protect society from the threat of weapons in the same way it tackles drugs offences - by stopping illegal imports as they come into the country.
British law has always been very strict about who can own or move firearms, ammunition and explosives[]. . .
It is against the law to import:
- High voltage electric 'stun guns'.
- Pepper sprays, CS gas canisters and other self defence sprays.
- High-powered air rifles.
- Martial Arts weapons such as death stars and swordsticks.
- Knives that have a concealed blade or a sharp point such as belt buckle blades.
Importation is illegal and is normally dealt with in Magistrates court. Importation AND possession is often dealt with at Crown court.
Magistrates can fine and imprison up to 6 months. Crown court can result in up to 7 years imprisonment. . .
Can schools give community service as a punishment?
It can be looked at both ways. It can be viewed as a punishment in that it is usually assigned as an alternative to having to serve jail time or pay a fine. It can also be viewed as a reward, in that it was offered instead of having to serve jail time or pay a fine. The choice of how to view it, is yours.
Can I put money in a parking meter for someone else's car?
Anyone can put money in a parking meter for someone else, but this activity, called re-metering, is illegal in some cities. An enterprising type of individual arose some years back and made a business of sorts by feeding the meters of people whose time had expired, or nearly so. This person would then leave a self-addressed envelope on the vehicle asking for compensation which, obviously, was voluntary. The individual who was (possibly or probably) saved from getting a parking ticket might be inclined to put a few bucks in the envelope and post it. That, after all, was a return of the favor, and cheaper (by far) than having to pay a parking citation. City fathers in some of the urban areas where this was happening decided that this activity, re-metering, was costing the city because it cut into the revenues generated by issuing parking citations. Local ordinances sprang up here and there as other cities joined the move to protect the income being generated by parking enforcement activities.

Well it really depends on where you live - laws are different in different countries, i think as long as you have permission from your parents you can probably be of any age, within reason, of course. If not 16 sounds about right. It also comes with a price, not a lot - maybe like £150? Good luck! :-)

If you are a minor then nothing. If you are not a minor then chances are it will not affect anything unless you can prove the cop did not read them...because the court is going to take the word of a police officer over that of some random person.
Can a convicted felon own a pellet rifle in ct?
"In the presence" is kind of vague. A felon cannot have access to firearms, so if the felon is in the presence of guns that can be accessed by the felon, then no, that is illegal.
Added; No! Such a situation would put the felon in, what is known as, "concurrent possession." Meaning that although he may not actually have the firearm on his person, he is in close enough proximity to it to have access to it, and/or exercise control over it.
Additional info on concurrent possession: Some courts, such as in Pennsylvania in the case of The Commonwealth v. Heidler, have ruled that in order for concurrent possession to apply, the felon must have "both the power to control and the intent to control the firearm." Additionally, in the case of The Commonwealth v. Wilson, taking its grounds from Heidler, has stated that the "mere presence of one person, among a group at a scene of contraband, is not a strong factor indicative of guilt." Therefore, depending on the factors involved, mere presence may not be enough to convict a person of any criminal act.
