How long Would A 19 year old spend For concealing a illegal firearm and violation of probation?
You do not say where this occurred. Some states have very serious penalties for the crimes, some do not. Since he is 19, he is in violation of federal law that bans the possession of a handgun by anyone under the age of 21. But from what you say he is only being charged at the state level. There are several violations of law here: 1. State law also prohibits the possession of a handgun by anyone under 21. 2. The gun is not registered (if that is a state requirement). 3. The gun was being carried concealed. 4. The parole violation. The first thing that happens is he loses his probation and goes back to jail for the rest of his jail term. The violations of the gun laws could get him several years in prison. However, that does depend on your State’s laws and how generous and forgiving the judge and prosecutor will be. Hope he has a good lawyer.
