Charged With a Weapons Violation?
Crimes such as the following may carry more serious penalties if a suspect is accused of having a deadly weapon in his or her possession:
- Domestic violence
- Drug crimes
- Violent crimes
You may have been charged with aggravated assault or aggravated burglary because you allegedly possessed a gun at the time of your arrest. Or you may have been charged with an offense involving only the gun itself, including charges of:
- Carrying an unconcealed weapon
- Carrying a gun without a license
- Hunting without a license
- Unlawful possession of a firearm
Regardless of the criminal charges or the circumstances of your criminal arrest, it is of utmost importance that you take steps now to protect your freedom and your future. Working closely with an experienced attorney is the most likely path to a favorable outcome such as:
- Case dismissed
- Charges reduced from felony to misdemeanor
- Plea bargains based on a suspect's participation in some kind of remedial therapy or other behavioral conditions
