Weapon Charges
Facing Weapon Charges? Understand Your Firearm Rights and Defense Options.
California has extensive laws regulating firearms and other weapons. Weapon-related charges may involve allegations of unlawful possession, carrying a concealed firearm, possession of a prohibited weapon, possession by a prohibited person, or use of a firearm or weapon during another alleged offense.
The consequences can include misdemeanor or felony penalties, fines, probation, incarceration, and restrictions on firearm possession. Certain misdemeanor convictions can also trigger California firearm prohibitions for specified periods.
A defense attorney can investigate whether the search or seizure was lawful, who actually possessed the weapon, whether the person was legally prohibited from possessing it, and whether the prosecution can prove the required elements of the charge.
