Knowledgeable Criminal Lawyer in SLC
A weapons charge may result from being in possession of explosives or carrying knife which does not conform to the law, but most commonly it is related to firearms. If you are facing a gun offense you can be charged with violation of state or federal law as a gun is considered a deadly weapon. Being in possession of a gun while committing a crime will greatly increase the severity of the penalties you face if convicted. Our criminal defense law firm has over 50 years of legal combined experience in successfully representing clients facing weapons charges, including:
- Illegal sale of a firearm
- Possession of a loaded or concealed weapon without a permit
- Discharging a weapon within city limits
- Pointing a weapon at a person, camp, or home
- Assault with a deadly weapon
- Possession of a gun by a "restricted" person (convicted felon)
