Re: Willingly and knowing possesion of a firearm
If the ATF is reviewing the case and the government decides to charge, the case would be brought in federal court under 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1). The maximum sentence is 10 years. If the weapon, however, was a short barreled shot gun or machinegun additional penalties apply. Under these circumstances, you should be represented by an attorney.
