That is actually an improvement over Federal law if true. Under Federal law you are prohibited if:

"convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year"

Note you don't have to be actually sentenced to one year, just convicted of a crime that could be punishable by more than a year.

As far as misdemeanors go, I haven't looked at the state code; but I've yet to read a state code where a misdemeanor crime was punnishable by 2 years imprisonment - especially for traffic offenses. Can you give me a link showing an example of this in your state penal code?
