Q: What is the difference in possession of a firearm by con evicted felon and commission of crime by felons by fire arm ?
Change in charge from first to second one above
A: Not sure about the second part of your question. Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon means that the person was previously convicted in court for a felony offense and he was found to be in possession of a gun as a new offense. Possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime (if that is what you are asking in the second part of your question) means that the person was in possession of a firearm while committing a crime. Both are serious charges and you should hire an attorney for the best possible outcome.
A:
I agree with my colleague. It is in your best interest to contact an attorney who can review the specifics of your case and provide you with a more tailored response. Both are serious charges and carry serious consequence upon conviction.
We are glad to assist you. Contact us whenever you are ready.
I wish you well.
