Firearm and Weapons charges are a very serious criminal allegations which should not be taken lightly. If convicted, the penalties for a weapons charge can be quite sever.

In an attempt to rid the streets of weapons and the types of crimes which are often associated with guns and other dangerous weapons, law enforcement and prosecutors aggressively seek to obtain weapons charge convictions.

Four common types of weapons and gun charges include:

• Unlawful Possession of a Firearm: When purchasing a gun it is important to ensure you fulfill all of the specific requirements for legally purchasing and owning a firearm. Failure to do so could result in being charged with unlawful possession of a firearm. An unlawful possession of a firearm charge may be a misdemeanor or a felony and if convicted could result in a substantial fine and possible prison time. If the individual convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm is a felon, they may be awarded a 3 year minimum sentence regardless if a crime has been committed or not;
  
  
• Illegal Sale of a Weapon: Gun dealers in the State of Ohio are required to adhere to very specific procedures with any sale of a gun or weapon. Failure to follow these procedures can result in the dealer to losing their license to sell guns and weapons. If the unlawful sale of a weapon or firearm is conducted by an unlicensed dealer, they may be charged with a felony criminal charge, depending upon the quantity weapons sold, and how the guns were obtained;
  
  
• Unlawful Discharge of a Firearm: When a weapon is discharged in a public setting, the individual who fired the gun may be charged with either a first degree or a more serious felony criminal weapons charges, depending upon the circumstances relating to your arrest, your criminal record, if the weapon was discharged while you were in a vehicle and you were within 1000 feet of anyone, and if the discharge of the weapon occurred in the course of a criminal act;
  
  
• Weapons / Gun Trafficking & Smuggling: Gun trafficking or weapons smuggling are extremely serious charges. Many times you will not only face charges from the State of Ohio, but potentially Federal weapons charges as well. A conviction will result in very severe penalties.
