Until you face them, the difference between federal and state charges may not have mattered to you. But the differences are quite significant. In fact, federal gun crimes often mean stricter consequences. Gun crimes with a federal classification include:
- Illegal acquirement of guns
- Possessing a gun which is connected to certain crimes such as a drug transaction
- Unlawful possession – including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
- Trafficking or illegal transportation of firearms
