Felony Charges
It's important to realize that felony charges in New York are more common than you may think. You could end up being charged a felony for even just possessing something like an assault rifle, automatic weapon, or military-style gun. It's also possible that you would face felony charges for possessing a pistol magazine that had more than ten rounds inside of it.
