The laws regarding gun and firearms crimes are very complex, which is one reason that you should consider a firearms crimes attorney in Riverside if you have been arrested, or suspect that you are being investigated. Individuals do have the right to keep and bear arms under the U.S. Constitution, however, when you make a mistake and commit a criminal offense with a firearm, you deserve competent representation. Our Riverside firearms crimes lawyers know that there are many defenses that may work to your advantage, and that charges can often be dismissed or reduced.

What are some of the most common crimes committed with firearms? If you are charged with simple possession of a firearm that is not licensed, it is considered a felony. Any possession of an assault weapon is illegal, as is possession of a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds of ammunition (such as for a pistol). Selling firearms without a license is a felony; this area is particularly complex and there are several restrictions on those who are licensed to sell. Our Riverside firearms attorneys are very knowledgeable in this area of the law, which allows us to provide our clients with vigorous, sound legal counsel.

Brandishing a firearm is also a criminal offense, usually charged as a misdemeanor. Whether it is loaded or unloaded, when used in a violent or angry manner, you may be arrested. Depending upon whether the firearm was brandished in a public or private location, you will serve 30 days to one year in jail if convicted. In most any crime involving a gun or firearm, you will face fines, possible jail/prison time and a criminal record if convicted. A skilled firearms crimes defense attorney in Riverside will work to protect your rights and freedom in order to lessen the negative impact on your life and future.

In some instances, sentences for firearms crimes will be enhanced, which means penalties will be more severe. An example of this is when an individual possesses a loaded firearm during a robbery. A conviction could mean you spend up to 25 years in prison.
