Minimum Mandatory Prison (day for day, no early release) -10 years if firearm is carried or acquired during the commission of the crime, 20 years if a firearm is discharged, and LIFE if a firearm is discharged and someone is struck by the bullet.
Weapons charges can include the following:
· Possession of a Firearm or Ammunition by a Convicted Felon of a Convicted Juvenile Felon
· Possession of a Concealed Firearm or Deadly Weapon
· Various Other Firearm and Deadly Weapons Offenses
Many people make the mistake of having this idea that a "weapon" can only be a gun - for instance, a pistol, rifle or any other such weapon. This is not correct. If you allegedly attack someone with anything like a tube, crowbar, bat, saucepan, pocket knife, sharp object or anything like that, it is still considered a deadly weapon. Charges involving firearms almost all have minimum mandatory sentences from 3-25 years. In such cases, Criminal Attorney Don Waggoner can provide the representation and defense you need to fight these charges. Early intervention in these cases can sometimes avoid the minimum mandatory sentences. |
