Understanding Gun & Weapon Offenses
In many cases, weapon charges are added on top of other offenses. If a weapon was used to commit another crime, such as theft or a drug offense, then this charge will often be added on to worsen the penalties for the defendant.
Illinois citizens are not entirely aware of the state’s gun laws and how they apply to different circumstances, and this can lead to criminal charges. In other scenarios, a person may be wrongfully charged with a weapon offense or may have had his or her rights violated during a search or arrest. By carefully investigating the circumstances surrounding your case, your weapon charges can determine how to best approach your defense.
Types of Weapon Charges We Defend
- Possession of a weapon without a permit
- Possession with intent to cause harm or commit a crime
- Unlawful use of a weapon
- Aggravated discharge of a firearm
- Assault with a deadly weapon or firearm
- Unlawful concealed carry of a firearm
- Armed habitual criminal
Everything Your Case Needs
Many people charged with these offenses have questions about their rights. When it comes to weapon charges, your rights matter, but the law can be difficult to interpret in these affairs. Without skilled legal representation, even justified self-defense can be labeled as a crime. The law is designed to protect your rights, but you will need someone with the knowledge and experience to apply it to your benefit in court.
