Caution: Although state and local laws do not differ, federal law and state law on the possession of
firearms differ. If you are prohibited by federal law from possession of a firearm, you may be prosecuted
in federal court. A state license is not a defense to federal prosecution. Federal law additionally prohibits
the receiving of a firearm by persons who are unlawful users of, or addicted to, narcotics or other controlled
substances; persons of unsound mind, adjudicated as mentally defective, or who have been committed to
a mental institution. Federal law also prohibits persons receiving firearms who have been dishonorably
discharged from the Armed Forces, aliens illegally or unlawfully in the U.S., or anyone convicted of, or
under indictment for a felony crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, to the
extent that the law of the state of conviction bars possession of a firearm. Local laws and ordinances on
firearms are preempted by state laws and must be consistent with state law.
