Nope !
The cliché rule of thumb is Misdemeanor = Up to 1 yr
Felony = More than 1 yr
But some states have whacky statutes . I can point to state with bunches of 3 year , 5 year , and even 10 year Misdemeanors. Or another state that has Felonies with as little as 30 day .
For these purposes, ATF has interpretations.
A named Misdemeanor with * Possible Penalty of over 2 years is * Prohibiting Offense * , regardless of actual sentence.
A named Felony with * Possible Penalty of less than 1 year * is Not Prohibiting ( unless the specific criminal action itself is Prohibiting, like DV .)
I was talking about in the state where I reside, and in my experience, the accused spend only the time it takes for a judge to see them and establish a "no contact " order between the parties involved until the case is decided in court.
I guess I wasn't specific enough, but its on the 4473, this is one of the questions you answer, so the FED obviously takes it as a restricting conviction, no matter what state you live in.
