According to public records, Cooper was first convicted of burglary in 1989 and got 4 years' probation. In 1991, he was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to 6 years in prison.
He was again convicted of burglary in 2003 and sentenced to 6 years in prison, but was released late the next year.
So, convicted felon, early release, illegal gun.
This seems to be becoming the standard.
Update: It seems the 1991 conviction was for shooting at a police officer as well. He served only 3 yrs on that one.

Armed habitual criminal?
Well, at least they have a name for it now.
