Firearms Charges

BlackMenuBar.jpg, 340B

Have you been charged with a firearm related criminal charge? We have a number of articles about firearm charges and other general articles on firearms on this website.

Firearms charges vary from "possessing firearms" to being a "prohibited person in possession of a firearm". Possessing an imitation firearm can be a firearm offence.

The Courts are often very hard in penalty for firearm charges.

Some issues in firearms cases are;

  • "Was the firearm / gun capable of being used?" 
  • "Why did you have the firearm / gun with you on that particular day?"
