Weapons charges include many types of offenses, including carrying a concealed weapon, using a weapon while intoxicated and improperly using a weapon while in a motor vehicle (Chapter 2923: CONSPIRACY, ATTEMPT, AND COMPLICITY; WEAPONS CONTROL; CORRUPT ACTIVITY). If you knowingly carry a concealed weapon such as a handgun, you may be charged with a misdemeanor, which carries a penalty of six months in jail and fines up to $1,000. If the weapon was loaded, you may be charged with a felony resulting in 6 to 18 months in prison and fines of up to $5,000. If you are caught using or possessing a weapon while intoxicated, you may be charged with a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and fines up to $1,000.
The laws concerning using a weapon while in a motor vehicle can be complicated. If you transported or discharged a firearm while in your vehicle, you may be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the facts of the case. All of the circumstances surrounding the arrest, any previous criminal history and your state of mind at the time of the incident will determine what you are charged with and what the penalties may be. Because each weapons charge is different with its own set of circumstances, it is important that you consult with a practiced attorney at our firm to get specific legal advice and to strategize your defense as soon as possible.
