Common Types Of Weapon And Gun Charges

Here are some of the most common gun charges that I defend clients against:

• Assault with a deadly weapon: If a firearm or other deadly weapon was allegedly used to threaten or harm another person, prosecutors may pursue severe penalties. Even if no one was hurt, the charge alone can lead to years behind bars.
• Unlawful possession of a firearm: You may face weapon charges if you are accused of possessing a gun illegally. This includes situations such as a felon in possession of a firearm, a minor in possession of a gun, possession of an unregistered firearm and carrying a firearm without a license.
• Reckless or negligent use of a firearm: Discharging a weapon irresponsibly can lead to criminal charges, even if no one is injured. This includes firing a gun in a prohibited area, discharging a firearm in a crowded space or handling a gun in a way that endangers others.
• Use of a firearm in the commission of a crime: If a gun was allegedly used during another criminal act, such as robbery or assault, the penalties increase.

Depending on the severity of the charge, you could face jail or prison time, fines or permanent loss of firearm rights if you are convicted.
