Weapons Offenses

More and more weapons cases are coming before Maryland courts. They are for a variety of offenses – carrying without a permit, illegal gun enhancement, discharging a weapon, possessing a weapon by a convicted felon, brandishing a weapon, carrying a weapon in the commission of a crime. The state has one set of laws and the federal government has another. In either case, punishments are severe, and judgments can be subjective.

For instance, it is a crime to carry any firearm with the intent of committing a crime or harming another person. What is intent? When are you protected by conceal and carry, and when aren’t you? Are you allowed to carry a weapon on your own property?

These are questions for the judge or jury to decide. Clearly, if you are charged with a gun violation, you need a lawyer who knows the laws and can work through these kinds of ambiguities.
