Weapons Violations

Weapons Charges Attorney Pennsylvania: Criminal Defense in Southeastern Pennsylvania

If you are facing weapons or firearms charges in Pennsylvania, the attorneys at Prince Law Offices, P.C. provide experienced criminal defense backed by a deep understanding of Pennsylvania firearms law. As a firm dedicated to protecting the rights of gun owners, we not only defend clients against weapons-related criminal charges but also pursue legal action when government agencies unlawfully infringe upon our clients' rights to own and carry firearms.

Our attorneys represent clients in a range of Pennsylvania weapons and firearms-related criminal matters, including:

• Carrying a concealed weapon without a license
• Possessing a Title II firearm that is not registered under the National Firearms Act
• Discharging a firearm within city limits
• Violating zoning ordinances that prohibit use of firearms in certain locations
• Felon in possession of a firearm

In addition to crimes specifically relating to the possession of a weapon, we provide criminal defense services in cases where the weapons charge goes along with another criminal charge. When a gun is used in committing a crime — or sometimes even when the defendant has a gun in the vicinity of where the crime was committed — the fact of possession is an aggravating factor that may result in a higher sentence upon conviction. This is especially true in drug crimes cases, as well as with any type of violent crime such as assault.

Other Firearms Matters Related to Criminal Weapons Charges

• We file false arrest lawsuits if a police officer arrests someone for openly carrying a weapon. Open carry is legal in Pennsylvania so long as the individual is otherwise in legal possession of the weapon.
• We fight cities that enact city codes that unlawfully restrict gun owners’ rights.
• We negotiate firearms surrenders in domestic violence cases. We will frequently ask the judge to allow surrender to a neutral third party instead of to the sheriff’s office. This type of surrender usually makes it easier for the individual to regain possession of his or her weapon once the surrender period ends.
