Many weapons laws are obvious. Others are less well known and frequently catch people by surprise. Some of the weapons charges we defend against
include:

• Possession of unregistered Assault Weapons
• Carrying a Loaded and/or Concealed Handgun
• Dealing in Firearms without a License
• Possession or Manufacture of Destructive Devices
• Possession of Grenades and Grenade Launchers
• Transfer of High Capacity Magazines
• Possession of Machine Guns and/or Machine Gun Conversion Parts
• Possession of Multiburst Trigger Activators
• Possession of Short Barreled Rifles and Shotguns

• False Statements made to Purchase Firearm
• Possession of Firearms by Felon or other Prohibited Person
• Possession of Prohibited Weapons, such as Switchblade Knives, Billy Club, Brass Knuckles, etc.
• Assault with a Deadly Weapon
• Brandishing a Firearm
• Self-Defense Use of Firearms
• Firearms in a restrict area, such as an Airport, Courthouse, or School

Additionally, if your right to possess firearms has been taken away due to a prior conviction, a restraining order, or a mental health hold, our office can work with you to try to restore your right to possess firearms.

The United States Supreme Court recently extended the Second Amendment protection of your right to possess firearms. This recent change in the law could have a significant impact on you case. Our team knows the law in-depth and how to use it to put your best foot forward. You are innocent until the opposition is able to prove otherwise. Our role is to help you maintain your innocence by putting our experience to work defending you. We have a long record of success in these cases. We want to make your case part of that record.
