Question 1

Under 18 USC 922(g), which of the following is NOT a federally prohibiting category that bars a person from possessing firearms?

Accepted Answer

Conviction of a non-domestic-violence misdemeanor punishable by less than two years imprisonment

The 922(g) prohibitions cover felonies, specific misdemeanor domestic violence convictions, and other listed categories, but ordinary misdemeanors that are not domestic violence offenses do not trigger a federal firearms prohibition.

Answer

Federal law prohibits FFLs from selling or delivering a handgun to any person the dealer knows or has reasonable cause to believe is under 21 years of age.
