If you check out my question i asked earlier it hits close to the same subject. i was caught with a gun and the judge was very leniant. if you think there could be problems from what your family member may have gotten into, talk to an attorney now, so your prepared. and i wouldnt worry about anything to terribble happening anyways. felon with a firearm only carries a 5 year sentence. unless you use it in a violent crime.
