Gun charges, weapons charges and Assault Rifle charges are not limited to commercially made weapons. A gun is described as any combustible weapon that projects any object through any explosion. A gun or pistol has a barrel fewer than 16 inches and a rifle has a barrel of 16 inches or longer.

These are among the most serious and politically charged crimes with which an individual can be accused and should be taken very seriously by anyone who has been arrested in these circumstances. It is very important that you contact our firm as soon as possible in order to allow us to bring our experienced representation to your side against charges that carry the high likelihood of stiff prison or jail terms and a criminal record that will have a serious negative effect on your future rights and options, including your right to own a gun, your current employment or your ability to be hired by a future employer.

If you used a gun while committing another crime there are laws that require mandatory prison sentences upon conviction. With such felony charges you will want the experienced lawyers at San Diego Criminal Defense Lawyers to provide you with representation targeted at reducing or dismissing these serious allegations. In many cases there are circumstances in which the allegations have been overcharged and experienced lawyers such as ours have been able to win reductions to lesser charges, including disturbing the peace or being a public nuisance, which carry far less severe penalties.
