A: The answer depends on several factors such as who charged you state or federal, was the gone used in a commission of a crime etc. Speak with a lawyer this is a serious charge and generally has a mandatory term of imprisonment.

James A. Abate agrees with this answer

A: If State charges and just for unlawful possession it will be 3-5 years for 3rd degree, 5-10 for 2nd Degree. This is a NERA charge so you must do 85% of the time.
