Colorado Weapons Crime Felony Lawyer
Though the Second Amendment does give American citizens the right to bear arms, these rights are curtailed by federal and state laws designed to prevent violence and protect citizens. Felony weapons charges are often brought against individuals who possess weapons without the proper permits or in violation of state and federal laws…and the consequences of a felony weapons charge or conviction can be wide-reaching.
Colorado Springs Felony Weapons Offense Attorney
Felony weapons charges include felony menacing (using a deadly weapon or perceived deadly weapon to cause another to fear bodily injury), knowingly possessing a dangerous weapon such as a silencer, bomb, ballistic knife, short rifle, machine gun, or short shotgun, and committing a crime with a weapon. In addition, previous felons and offenders face felony charges if they are found to possess firearms and other weapons in violation of federal and state laws. Felony charges are far more severe than misdemeanor ones and can trigger mandatory sentences, long incarceration and probation periods, and serious future consequences in terms of work and community life.
Each felony weapons charge will vary depending on the circumstances surrounding the alleged violation; for this reason, it is vital that the accused seek out legal representation to gather the best possible evidence to counter the prosecutor's thorough investigation. In addition, Fourth Amendment issues of search and seizure could be in question. The best Colorado felony defense attorneys understand the legal system inside and out, are well-respected in their communities, and have track records that demonstrate aggressive and disciplined pursuit of their clients' best interests, from dropped charges to diminished penalties or plea deals.
