Gun Charge Attorney In Los Angeles, California

San Fernando Gun Charges Attorney

In California, you have the right as an adult to purchase, own, or possess firearms. However, under certain laws in the state, some people are not allowed this right, including convicted felons and those addicted to narcotics. Individuals under the age of 21 are not allowed to purchase guns. Furthermore, once you own or possess a gun, you must follow state requirements involving how to store or transfer them. These and many other rules apply in the matter of firearms within our state. Violations of these laws can result in criminal charges.

Gun Laws In California

As mentioned above, California has passed many laws pertaining to guns. These laws include but are not limited to:

  • Restricting certain individuals from gun possession
  • Requiring Firearm Safety Certificates for gun possession
  • Setting rules and regulations for the buying, selling, and registering of guns
  • Setting forth rules and regulations for the transportation and storing of guns
  • Setting forth rules and regulations about concealed carry
  • Rules about assault rifles
  • Locations where guns are prohibited, such as on school grounds
  • Regulations about ammunition and accessories
  • Offenses that involve guns

For example, you are not allowed to carry a concealed weapon unless you have a concealed carry permit. Violation of this law can result in a misdemeanor charge punishable by up to a year in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000. However, it will be charged as a felony under certain circumstances, such as when you have a prior gun felony conviction, the gun was stolen, the offense is related to gang activity, or in other aggravating circumstances. 

Another example of a gun crime involves possessing a gun in restricted places, such as school grounds, government buildings, airports, public buildings, and public transit places. Depending on the circumstances, these crimes can be charged as misdemeanors or felonies. 

Other California offenses that involve guns include using a gun while committing a felony, injuring someone while brandishing a gun, stripping a gun of its identifying information, shooting at unoccupied cars or structures, and more.
