Siskiyou County Illegal Firearms Defense Attorney
While many weapons used for hunting are protected under the law, a person in possession of any type of firearm that is loaded or concealed could face serious consequences. A weapon can be concealed even if it is not locked away. For example, if you have a loaded long gun behind the back seat of an extended cab, the weapon is concealed and you could face criminal charges.
As an experienced criminal defense lawyer, William M. Duncan, Attorney at Law, defends clients facing criminal charges for illegal firearms and weapons, including:
- Loaded handguns and firearms
- Concealed firearms
- Possession of assault rifles and other illegal automatic weapons
- Removed serial numbers on a firearm
- Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
In addition to felony convictions, certain specific misdemeanor convictions can also take away your right to possess firearms for a period of 10 years, such as a conviction for domestic violence, battery, resisting arrest or obstructing an officer in the performance of his duties. We can advise you of your rights and help you fight charges for any type of weapons crime.
