§ 921. Definitions
(20) The term “crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year” does not include—
(A) any Federal or State offenses pertaining to antitrust violations, unfair trade practices, restraints of trade, or other similar offenses relating to the regulation of business practices, or
(B) any State offense classified by the laws of the State as a misdemeanor and punishable by a term of imprisonment of two years or less. |
THANK YOU!
I had the 'two-year' thing stuck in my head, and was surprised to find contrary info. Your cite clears that up, and I'll modify the OP accordingly.
