Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Is this considered crime with a gun?

My 19 y.o. son, who lives with his

mother, was just arrested for

possession of and selling marijuana

to minors while on probation for

previous drug-related offenses. He

pled guilty to the previous drug

crimes, and charges were reduced

from felonies to misdemeanors. The

police had a search warrant and

raided the apartment he & his

mother live in, breaking down the

door as my son did not respond to

police commands to answer/open the

door for a search warrant.

Apparently, his mother was not at

home. The police detective and

officers found a large quantity of

marijuana and drug paraphernalia -

scales, grow lamps, etc., a few

thousand dollars cash, along with a

loaded handgun which was not on

my son's person, in the apartment.

Because of the loaded handgun,

would this be considered crime with

or involving a gun?
