(1997) 14 Cal.4th 1199 (Manzy W.) as to whether his “wobbler” offense of attempted grand theft from the person was a felony or misdemeanor. Finally, J.C. contends the punishment for one of his two offenses should have been stayed because both were based on a single act. In the published portion of this opinion, we conclude the firearm ban must be vacated, as the plain language and the legislative history of the governing statutes do not contemplate that an offense under section 417.4 triggers the ban.
