Weapon and firearm charges come up in a variety of different situations. Sinclair Law represents clients on the following:
Carrying a concealed weapon without a license
It is unlawful to carry a concealed weapon outside of your own property without a concealed pistol license in Michigan. While the second amendment allows you to bear arms, the law recognizes certain allowable restrictions designed for public safety purposes, including a permit for concealed weapons.
Felony firearm
A felony firearm offense is never charged by itself; an underlying felony must be alleged. A felony firearm conviction carries a mandatory two-year prison term. When it comes to felony firearm charges, the judge has no discretion to change the sentence.
Felon in possession of a weapon
Michigan law states that if you have been convicted of a felony, you may not use, possess, transport, sell or carry a firearm unless you satisfy certain conditions.
If the police arrest you for any of these offenses, you will need an experienced attorney to defend you in court.
