Understanding Weapons Charges in San Ramon
In California, individuals generally have the right to possess firearms, but strict regulations dictate when and how guns can be carried. The state’s comprehensive gun laws mean that an unintentional violation can lead to serious legal consequences, as many weapons-related charges in California are categorized as felonies.
Common Types of Weapons Charges
The following are some frequent weapons charges you may encounter in California:
- Assault with a Firearm
- Felon in Possession of a Firearm
- Manufacture, Sale, or Possession of an Illegal Weapon or Large-Capacity Magazine
- Carrying a Loaded Firearm with Intent to Commit a Felony
- Battery Causing Bodily Injury
- Carrying a Loaded Firearm on Person or in a Vehicle During a Narcotics Offense
- Negligent Discharge of a Firearm
- First Degree Criminal Storage of Firearms
- Illegal Possession of a Firearm
- Possession of an Assault Weapon
- Carrying a Concealed Firearm
- Discharging a Firearm from a Motor Vehicle
Due to the nature of these charges being felonies, they can drastically alter the course of a person’s future. Convictions can result in lengthy prison sentences and substantial fines, and a felony conviction becomes a permanent part of your record, complicating your chances of securing employment, housing, and other critical opportunities.
Challenging Evidence in Weapons Cases
Search and seizure laws in California are heavily regulated; law enforcement must operate within specific parameters to legally search and collect evidence. Unfortunately, violations of these protocols are common, and Attorney Nabiel C. Ahmed is prepared to file motions to suppress any unlawfully obtained evidence. This critical action can undermine the prosecution’s case significantly.
With deep roots in the East Bay, San Ramon, Dublin, and Martinez, Attorney Ahmed is highly knowledgeable about local court procedures and law enforcement practices. This familiarity allows him to swiftly spot any errors or violations concerning your rights, making his extensive experience a valuable asset in your defense.
When Penalties for Weapons Charges are Enhanced
The severity of penalties can increase based on various factors, such as the number of charges against an individual or the presence of additional charges at the time of the offense. For instance, being a repeat offender or facing felony charges while in possession of a firearm can lead to enhanced penalties.
In some cases, these enhanced charges could result in an additional 10 to 20 years of incarceration. Individuals facing such charges need the support and expertise of a skilled San Ramon weapons charges attorney to navigate these complex legal waters.
