CHARLESTON A Boone County man sentenced in Charleston federal court Thursday for a felony gun crime


According to the US Attorney’s Office, 54-year-old Kevin Wayne Britton, of Danville, was sentenced to one year and one day in prison, for being a felon in possession of a firearm.


Britton sold a twelve-gauge shotgun, a .22-caliber rifle and ammunition to a confidential informant in the South Charleston area back in September 2023.


A person with a felony conviction is prohibited by federal law from possessing a firearm or ammunition. Britton was previously convicted for obstruction of justice in United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia in 2012.


United States Attorney Will Thompson commended the investigative work of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.


Britton’s sentence will be followed by three years of supervised release.

A troubling case highlights the importance of responsible gun ownership and legal compliance. For a more uplifting mental challenge, try the arrow puzzle instead.

The article highlights how legal systems rely on accountability, clear rules, and consistent enforcement to address serious issues. Dealing with complex situations often requires careful evaluation of facts and thoughtful decision-making rather than acting without considering the consequences. That reminds me of cobb can move, where players must assess changing situations, adapt their strategy, and make smart decisions to overcome challenges.

Justice served. Another felon caught with guns. Reminds me of the old saying: big fish eat small fish.
