Types if Gun Charges We’ve Successfully Defended
Weapons law is a blanket term that covers a large variety of guns and weapons laws. These laws tend to be heavily political and are updated more often than other laws. That is why it is so important to discuss potential charges with a reputable criminal defense attorney.
At The Singleton Law Firm, our dedicated criminal defense team has helped defendants secure their rights for decades!
Some of the types of gun charges we have successfully handled include:
- Committing a crime while you have a gun or other weapon in your possession
- Carrying a concealed weapon illegally
- Buying or selling guns illegally
- Events involving assault with a deadly weapon
- Cases of gun trafficking
- Instances where you are said to be violating parole or probation while carrying a weapon
Defending Second Amendment Rights
The Second Amendment of the US Constitution clearly outlines your right to bear weapons to protect yourself or other people from harm. Despite the simplicity of this early amendment, there are dozens of individual laws, federal and state, regarding weapons, that can be extremely difficult to keep track of the intricate distinctions.
The Second Amendment was designed to protect those who own or possess a weapon or a firearm. What constitutes “illegal” use of these weapons is much more complicated, though. In Wisconsin, there is often not any leniency or grace for possibilities of genuine mistakes in these complex situations. Therefore, many prosecutors make it their personal business to take away your rights of gun possession and protection, as well as put you away in prison for as long as possible.
Concealed Carry Weapons Violations
Wisconsin has comparatively strict laws governing the carrying of concealed firearms. At The Singleton Law Firm, we understand the complexities and seriousness of concealed carry weapons violations in Wisconsin.
Law-abiding citizens in Wisconsin are allowed to possess various weapons in your home, even if you do not have a license. You need to have a Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) license, however, if you want to bring the weapon outside of your home. This only applies to knives, handguns, tasers, and electric weapons, but it does not apply to hunting gear or rifles.
Moreover, even if you do have a CCW license, you can never bring a firearm into a school, airport, government building, or certain other facilities. While this be another potentially confusing, gray area regarding the exact locations you can bring a firearm, these regulations are in place to keep at-risk groups safe.
Whether you have been accused of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, possessing prohibited firearms, or violating other provisions of the state's concealed carry regulations, we are here to provide you with knowledgeable and aggressive representation.
Can Having a Weapon When You Are Arrested Make Things Worse?
Unfortunately, yes, having a weapon of any kind on your person can exacerbate other charges, especially violent crimes such as assault or robbery.
Certain crimes are compounded by merely possessing a weapon, such as being under the influence, taking illegal substances, or being involved in reckless injury – even if you never used the weapon or intended to use the weapon.
