FAQ
Illegal possession of a firearm is, in the simplest term, unlawful possession of a certain weapon on behalf of an individual.
Most violations are punishable by up to one year in county jail, or a fine of up to $1000. California Penal Code Section 25850 prohibits carrying a loaded firearm in public. This law makes it a crime to carry a loaded firearm in a car or other motor vehicle, except in the trunk or a locked container within the vehicle.
Unlawful firearm possession can result in up to $10,000 in fines and up to 3 years in jail – and you could lose your right to possess a firearm in California for the rest of your life. For all these reasons, you need a good defense.
Under California Penal Code 25850, carrying a loaded gun on a public street, in a public place, or in a car if you do not have a valid concealed weapons license is unlawful. This offense can result in a misdemeanor conviction with a maximum sentence of one year in county jail, and a fine.
Yes, new evidence can lead to the dismissal of federal gun charges if it significantly undermines the prosecution's case. This could include evidence that proves an alibi, demonstrates that the firearm does not belong to the defendant, or reveals misconduct in the gathering of evidence.
Penalties Without additional factors, carrying a loaded firearm is a misdemeanor that is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. This offense is a felony that is punishable by up to three years in prison if any of the following aggravating factors exist: The defendant has felony or a firearm conviction.
Thus, even if you have had a conviction expunged in California, you will still have the ban if that conviction was for a felony or for a qualifying misdemeanor that triggered either a ten-year or lifetime ban on owning or possessing a firearm. Unlawfully owning or possessing a firearm is a crime.
The SAFE ACT bans most semi-automatic rifles by making it a felony to possess a semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine that has one or more cosmetic features that New York finds undesirable, such as: A folding or adjustable stock. A thumbhole stock. A pistol grip.
Age Limitations: The right to bear arms is limited to individuals who are at least 18 years of age for long guns and 21 years of age for handguns. Federal law prohibits the sale of firearms to individuals under these age limits, and many states have enacted similar restrictions.
