More Details about Gun Crimes
At Law Offices of Michael L. Guisti, our lawyers handle many gun crimes cases in Southern California. What follows are details about just a few of the more common gun crimes in California:
- Simple possession of an unlicensed firearm is a felony. At this writing, the minimum sentence for simple possession of an unlicensed firearm has just increased from one year in prison to three and half years. It must be loaded and outside your home or place of business to qualify for these punishments; otherwise, it is a misdemeanor.
- Possession of an assault weapon is a felony, whether or not it is loaded and whether or not you had an intention to use it.
- Possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device, such a magazine for a pistol that can hold more than ten rounds, is a felony.
- Sale of firearms is an especially complex area; there are restrictions on selling guns to minors, secondary sales, etc. It is a felony to sell firearms without a license.
And other crimes can result in enhanced sentences by the use of a gun. If you have a loaded firearm during a robbery, you can get up to 25 years in prison. Even if you just pretend you have a gun, you can get up to 15 years in prison.
People are also getting arrested in increasing numbers for possessing other weapons, such as gravity knives. At Law Offices of Michael L. Guisti, our lawyers help people accused of all kinds of weapon and gun crimes.
