what is the sentence for felony possession of a firearm?
My fiance was arrested for possession of a firearm, him being a felon and it being a stolen firearm. But he co-operated fully with police - what sentence will he possibly have?
Deborah Lopez
The federal statute for felony gun possession is five years.

The federal statute for felony gun possession is five years. Since he cooperated, they might cut him some slack but he knows he in not allowed near a firearm or ammunition, and he's been in the system so he already knows the consequences.
