How this charge is sentenced.

Felon in possession is one of the most charged federal firearms offenses. Base level depends on weapon type and criminal history.

What moves the number.

Firearm type, serial number status, and prior violent felonies drive the §2K2.1 calculation.

Federal judges sentence under the advisory guidelines, but the guideline range is where every case starts. Loss amounts get contested, roles get litigated, and cooperation agreements move the final number. If you are facing felon in possession sentencing, the consultation is free - and the earlier counsel starts, the more levers exist.

Firearms enhancements.

Under USSG §2K2.1, the number of firearms, whether they were stolen, and whether serial numbers were obliterated each add offense levels. A separate §924(c) count carries mandatory consecutive time that stacks on top of any underlying sentence.

Why the guideline range is only a starting point.

After United States v. Booker, federal judges must consider the guideline range but may impose a sentence above or below it based on 18 U.S.C. §3553(a). Downward departures, substantial assistance motions under §5K1.1, and compassionate release petitions can all move the final number - but only if counsel builds the record early.

01 · Charge Indictment or plea Prosecutors publish a loss figure or drug quantity. That number is the opening bid - not the final word.

02 · PSR Presentence report Probation calculates offense level and criminal history. Defense counsel objects to every disputed enhancement.

03 · Sentencing Guideline range + variance The judge starts with the guideline range, then considers §3553(a) factors. Mitigation built early moves the final number.

FAQ · FELON IN POSSESSION SENTENCING

01 How does the Felon in Possession Sentencing sentencing calculator work?

Enter your criminal history category, the loss amount or drug quantity prosecutors attribute to you, and any role or acceptance adjustments. The tool applies the USSG sentencing table and offense-specific guidelines to estimate your advisory range in months.

02 Is the statutory maximum the sentence I will receive for Felon in Possession Sentencing?

Almost never. The statutory maximum is a ceiling. Most federal sentences are driven by the guideline range, which is calculated from offense level and criminal history - not the maximum printed in the statute.

03 How does a §924(c) charge affect my total sentence?

A §924(c) conviction carries a mandatory consecutive prison term that must be served in addition to any sentence on the underlying offense. It does not run concurrently.

04 Do firearms guidelines depend on my prior record?

Yes. Criminal history category and specific offense characteristics - number of firearms, stolen weapons, obliterated serial numbers - combine to set your offense level under §2K2.1.

05 What collateral consequences follow a Felon in Possession Sentencing conviction?

Firearms convictions trigger some of the harshest collateral consequences in federal criminal law. Common examples include: Permanent firearm prohibition - most federal felony firearms convictions bar legal gun ownership for life under §922(g). Enhanced future sentencing - a prior firearms conviction can dramatically increase offense levels and mandatory minimums in any later case. Forfeiture - firearms, ammunition, and sometimes vehicles or cash tied to the offense are commonly forfeited. §924(c) consecutive stacks and §922(g) prohibitions make firearms cases as much about what happens after prison as the guideline range itself.
