Penal Code section 12021 subd. (a)(1) is a felon in possession of a firearm. This means the person was already a convicted felon, and then had possession of a firearm. It is never a misdemeanor. It is also a violation of federal law for a felon to be in possession of either a firearm or ammunition.
