If you have been accused of weapon charges, you are in serious trouble. Most weapon crimes are considered felonies, subjecting you to heavy penalties upon conviction. Even a weapon offense charged as a misdemeanor can cause serious problems and impact your 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.
It is essential to note that weapon charges do not only apply to the use or possession of guns. The unlawful use or possession of many prevalent household items can also constitute weapon charges. For example, if you use a box cutter, vehicle, or key to hurt someone, you can be subject to a weapon charge. Regardless of why you have been accused of a weapons offense, your rights and freedom are at stake. You could face jail time, hefty fines, and be required to surrender your firearms.
