Types of Weapon Offenses
While the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to bear arms, there are certain types of weapons that are illegal or heavily restricted in Georgia.If you have been accused of any of the following offenses, you could be facing serious criminal penalties:
- Possession of an illegal weapon: Certain weapons — including assault rifles, short-barreled firearms, switchblades, brass knuckles and billy clubs — are completely illegal in Georgia.
- Carrying a concealed weapon: Certain weapons — including handguns and daggers — are legal to own and carry openly, but you cannot carry them concealed without a permit.
- Felony weapon possession: If you have been convicted of a felony criminal offense, or one of a list of certain misdemeanors within the past 10 years, it is illegal for you to possess or carry any type of firearm.
Often, our clients are charged with weapons offenses after weapons that do not belong to them have been found in their homes or cars. We are prepared to hold the prosecutors in your case accountable for proving actual possession and all other elements of the offense.
