How long will the sentence be for an unregistered weapon with drugs, and he is under the age of 18?

My boyfriend got caught armed with an unregistered weapon and maybe a drug offense. He is under the age of 18, about how long will his sentence be?

This is a serious charge.

This is a serious charge. Depending on the amount of drugs and if there was any violence, his sentence could be ranging from two years to twenty years. The problem with an estimation is that there is too little information about the offender and the charges to give you a more accurate guestimate.
