California Weapons Penalties

With a felony weapons offense and sentenced to prison, the judge will choose from three prison terms—“low-term,” “mid-term,” and “high-term.” For example, for an assault with an assault weapon, the low-term is four years in prison, mid-term is eight years and high-term is twelve years. With no criminal record, the sentence would most likely be four years.

For a misdemeanor (such as carrying a concealed weapon with no prior convictions), the maximum allowable sentence is a fine and up to one year in county jail.
