Reffitt, a 49-year-old from Texas, was found guilty of five felonies after storming the Capitol with a holstered handgun and interfering with police.
Reffitt was found guilty of obstruction of justice after prosecutors said he threatened his teenage children not to report him to authorities.
A witness said that Reffitt traveled to D.C. in a vehicle with weapons, including an AK-47 style rifle.
Reffitt left most of the weapons in the vehicle but took his handgun to the Capitol, the witness said.
