Federal rifle charges

My son is encarcerated on using a gun when a felon. He is being offered probation but can federal courts arrest him once he pleads guilty in a regular court case?

State name?

What is the "regular court case?"

If he has been convicted of a felony and is in possession of a firearm, both the feds and the state can prosecute him, in theory. However, in practice it is exceedingly unusual for the feds to pursue a firearms case for simple possession of a firearm by a felon when the state can easily take the issue up.

In theory it would

be his second strike. H pleaded to one before 11 years ago when the person who used a gun left town and he wound up being charged. So it seems to easy for DA to want to plead out without him thinking there is an alteraor motive. Thank You

Your son should be discussing all of this with his attorney. His attorney can help him understand all of the consequences of pleading guilty to gun possession (regardless of how remote some of the consequences might be).

And if your son does not have his own attorney, he needs one.
