Handling Many Types of Weapons Charges
Most Georgia weapons offenses are charged because other criminal conduct is alleged to have been committed using a weapon such as a gun, knife or blunt object that may be considered a weapon. We handle state and federal weapons charges involving:
- Intent to commit a crime
- Concealed weapons
- Stolen weapons
- Unlicensed weapons
- Failure to register a firearm
- Illegal sawed-off shotguns, automatic weapons, silencers and more
- Unlawful weapons sales or trafficking
- Buying weapons for someone else (straw purchase)
- Possession or use on federal property
- Possession by a convicted felon
Convictions on weapons charges mean harsh penalties that may include large fines, probation, and jail time or prison time. Using a weapon to commit a crime or having a previous felony conviction automatically increases a charge to a felony, with even greater penalties.
