California Crimes - Weapons Crimes

There are many crimes in California that are considered “Weapon Offenses.” Some of these crimes are: carrying a concealed weapon, unlawfully discharging a weapon, brandishing a gun, possessing a firearm as a felon, use of a gun or firearm while committing a crime, illegally owning or possessing a weapon. If one is charged with and convicted of possession, use of, or intent to use a weapon during the commission of a crime  such as rape,  robbery, drug offenses, assault, battery, his or her sentence can be significantly increased. An experienced criminal law attorney who is familiar with the criminal law can develop his or her defenses ( i.e. self defense, defense of property, intent) based on the factors of the case.   It is very critical to note that in recent years the federal government that began a campaign of vigorously prosecuting any and all weapon charges as federal offenses.  If faced with a state weapon charge you should contact Criminal Defense Team to better familiarize yourself with other potential liabilities.
