    Hello s:

    There's no way to tell.. Of the 100's of factors they will consider, you gave us two. All I can say, is whatever the punishment WOULD have been, it will be LESS with a good lawyer.

    Are you being charged in state court, or Federal court, it can make a difference ( although Federal prison is normally nicer)

    Yes are they offering any plea agreement ? Was the firearms used in any other crime?
    How or why did they find them? How were they in possession, in a closet at the house, or in your pocket?

    But 7 to 10 years in prison is not unheard of
