Re: how long is prison term
Just having a gun is not a crime. Was your friend a felon? On probation? Was the gun properly registered? Concealed on the person? Loaded? Was it illegally altered (i.e., a sawed-off shotgun)? There are a slew of possibilites regarding possible crimes concerning the possession of a firearm. And the punishment for the crimes similarly runs the gamut from a probationary sentence for a misdemeanor to years in the state prison on a felony.
