OPINION

STEWART, Judge.

The single issue presented in these two consolidated appeals is whether these two appellants were “convicted of a felony” for purposes of AS 11.61.200(a)(1) (felon in possession of a concealable firearm) when they possessed a concealable firearm after they had been found guilty of a felony but before sentence was imposed. We conclude that defendants who have entered a plea or have been found guilty of a felony at trial are “convicted of a felony” for purposes of this statute.
