A gun charge can be a solitary, unique charge or it can come in conjunction with another criminal charge or charges. Whatever the situation, a conviction on a weapons violation can result in a lengthy prison sentence. Many gun charges are made in Federal court, and carry mandatory sentences that can be very difficult, if not impossible to avoid. For these reasons, a strong and effective defense is essential.
