Common Gun Charges And Defenses

Maryland enforces strict firearm laws. Common gun charges include:

  • Possession of an unlicensed firearm: It is illegal to carry a firearm without the necessary license or registration. Penalties may include fines, probation or jail time.
  • Concealed carry violations: Maryland law requires a permit for carrying concealed weapons. Violations can lead to harsh penalties.
  • Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon: Individuals with prior felony convictions are often prohibited from firearm possession. A conviction on this charge carries serious penalties.

Defense strategies vary, but they can include:

  • Challenging the legality of the search and seizure: A defense attorney may argue that the firearm was discovered through an illegal search, which can lead to evidence being dismissed.
  • Establishing a lack of intent to possess the firearm: Demonstrating that the accused did not intend to possess the firearm can be a viable defense.
  • Showing that the firearm was registered under certain exemptions: Proving that the firearm falls under certain legal exemptions or was registered appropriately can also be part of a defense strategy.

An experienced lawyer can analyze the facts of your case, scrutinize the evidence and develop a robust defense.
