An ex-felon in possession of a firearm can get a federal charge levied against them that usually starts at about 10 years. That is, if the Feds go after them.
But of course the law isnt as simple as that. It is possible for an ex felon to possess a firearm and not be in violation of Federal law if and only if said felon has had state restoration of rights (which MUST include seving on jury, the right to vote, the right to seek and hold public office), AND said state does not have any firearm restrictions for ex-felons when these rights are restored.
And something like that.. I dont think this occurs in but a handful of states as even with relief from disabilities (restoration of rights), some 'rights' are never restored.
