Possessing and/or listening to/watching "pirated" movies and music.  According to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), even if you own the movie on physical digital media, you can't legally copy it to your own home media server, laptop, cellphone, tablet, etc. for your own personal use without breaking the law.

Using Internet gaming sites and gambling with real money.

Did you or your paid preparer include "questionable" items in your state and federal tax returns?  Signing the return constitutes a crime.

Can there be a cross over to federal and state misdemeanors? So one commits a federal misdemeanor while CCwing and gets charged by the state for a felony?

Yes.

Jurisdiction matters.

For example, if you break a state law, then the state can claim jurisdiction.

If you commit the same crime but it happened on, say, a military base, that becomes federal jurisdiction.  Unless you were in a federal building, on federal property, committing the crime in multiple states, are a federal employee, etc, etc, then chances are good only the state will charge you. 

Some crimes like kidnapping and bank robbery are automatically federal jurisdiction.

Normally, you can't be charged with the same crime twice.  The agencies would have to make a call on who's jurisdiction will take precedence. 

Often the feds will claim jurisdiction if they can.  If the federal law classifies your crime as a felony and the local law say it's a misdemeanor, your lawyer should be negotiating with the state to get a plea on the misdemeanor before the feds arrign you.  Timing matters.

Once the feds present a charging document, they can even walk into your state trial at any time before the verdict and arrest you.

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Passed with all aye votes.

AG stated they need to specifically ban switchblades/butterfly knives in purses and bags because someone might try to bring it on a plane.

Tetters ban on buttefly knives that had a stay on it was reversed by the 9th. So theyre illegal again. Hearing is in june
