Does possession of a weapon apply to items other than a gun?

Many items are weapons, including typical items like airsoft guns, stun guns or knives and improvised weapons like bats or pipes.

What happens if I have a prior conviction?

If you have a prior conviction, the courts will have even less leniency with your case. You are far more likely to get a longer sentence upon conviction.

Can the police charge me with a crime if I owned my weapon legally?

If you use a legally owned weapon in an illegal manner, especially if you wield it in the promulgation of a crime, the prosecutor may file charges.

Is there anything I can do?

The best thing you can do is call for an attorney immediately. Your rights and freedoms are vulnerable, and a wrong answer to a question or other mistake can cost you your liberty and livelihood. Call our office now:
