  7. How Many Years In Prison Can You Get For A Gun Possession Crime? Getting arrested for a gun possession crime means that you risk landing in prison.“Since many gun possession offenses are felony offenses, you can end up getting a 2-, 4-, or 6-year sentence in prison”. More often than not, for a gun possession crime to be considered a felony under California law, your case must meet one or several of the conditions: ❖ ❖ You had a previous felony conviction ❖ ❖ The weapon in question was stolen ❖ ❖ You are involved in a gang ❖ ❖ You are another class of person who is not permitted to possess a gun in California Other types of possession offenses can result in a jail sentence of up to one year and/or a fine of up to $1,000. In some cases, the prosecutor may choose to throw you into jail for three months (this jail time applies to cases with certain offenses on your criminal record).
