New York State takes a zero-tolerance approach to anyone who unlawfully possesses or uses a gun. This offense carries a minimum of 3.5 years in prison even if you have no criminal record. In certain circumstances, even being in the same home or building as a gun can make you susceptible to charges. If not handled properly, these serious charges can turn into convictions. Gun possession charges may include but are not limited to: Illegal Possession of a Firearm, Use of a Weapon When Committing a Crime, Carrying a Concealed Weapon Unlawfully, Violation of Gun Dealer Laws, Possession of More Firearms than Allowed, Felon in Possession of a Firearm. Whether it is a firearm offense in the home, a vehicle, or on the street, Massena Law P.C. is fully equipped to aggressively handle each and every aspect of a gun possession case. This includes unlawful search and seizure, cop credibility, temporary lawful possession, and weapon operability. Contact us online or call (212) 766-1700
