Best Answer

It sort of depends, but basically, yes.

yes it is a huge felony you will go to jail or even prison and pay a huge fine

Another View: (in the US) Actually it will depend on the value of the firearm that was stolen. The very fact that it is was a firearm that was stolen does NOT automatically make it a felony offense, it is the dollar value of the weapon. An exception to this might be if the person stealing the weapon was a convicted felon. THAT fact alone would be enough to charge them with a felony regardless of the cost of the gun.

Further

A felony is committing an offence. The technical description of such an offence varies from country to country.

Stealing is an offence. The technical description of such an offence varies from country to country.
