Carrying a Concealed Weapon Charges Riverside

In California, the laws regarding weapons, guns and firearms are quite complex. At the Law Office of Stephen R. Brodsky, our Riverside concealed weapon defense attorneys know that when someone is charged with carrying a concealed weapon, a capable attorney is their best defense. If you or a loved one have been accused of or charged with this criminal offense, whether guilty or innocent, it is crucial that you contact an experienced concealed weapon lawyer in Riverside. We have been providing our clients with a skilled, effective and dedicated approach for more than 20 years.

In California, carrying a concealed weapon may be charged as a misdemeanor or felony depending upon the situation. Felony convictions carry harsher penalties than do misdemeanor crimes. Unless you are qualified to carry a concealed weapon by local law enforcement agencies and have a permit, it is considered a serious felony to carry a loaded, concealed weapon in a public place. It is essential that you consult with a competent Riverside concealed weapon defense attorney if you have been charged with a crime. Steep monetary fines, possible jail/prison time and a criminal record are some of the penalties/punishment you may face.

There are certain factors that determine how you will be charged. For instance, certain individuals are not allowed to possess a firearm that is considered legal, such as those who are convicted felons, mental patients and some individuals who are on probation for other crimes. Only a skilled Riverside concealed weapon defense lawyer can determine a defense strategy that will be most appropriate for your situation.

What constitutes carrying a concealed weapon? You may be arrested if you:

Carry a revolver, pistol or other firearm that may be concealed by your person in any vehicle that is under your control, or

Carry any revolver, pistol or other firearm that can be concealed upon your person, or

Cause a pistol, revolver or other firearm that is capable of being concealed upon a person to be carried in a concealed manner within any vehicle that you are an occupant

When you conceal a firearm in your vehicle or on your person, and you do so knowingly, you are carrying a concealed weapon. At the Law Office of Stephen R.

There are many defenses that may be used to defend your freedom. Depending upon your circumstances, a Riverside concealed weapon attorney may use the defense that you carried your firearm in plain sight, that the concealed weapon was in your place of business or at your residence, that an illegal search and seizure was performed in obtaining the weapon, or that the weapon was locked in a compartment of the vehicle, such as the trunk.
