Facing Weapons Charges in CA?

California has the strictest weapon and gun laws of any state in the U.S.

In order to legally possess a gun in California, you must pass a universal background check, wait 10 days to receive the gun, get your handgun micro-stamped so that it is traceable back to you, and pass a written safety test.

Such stringent measures to ensure safety are backed up by severe consequences if these rules are violated.

Weapons charges in California include the following:

  • Carrying a concealed firearm on your person
  • Having a concealed firearm in your vehicle
  • Possessing a firearm as a felon
  • Possession of an assault weapon
  • Discharging firearm from motor vehicle
  • Negligent discharge of firearm
  • Assault with a firearm
  • Criminal storage of firearms in the first degree
  • Loaded firearm with intent to commit a felony
  • Sale or possession of an illegal weapon

Other weapons prohibited in California include sawed-off shotguns, nunchaku, metal or plastic knuckles, silencers for any firearm, any automatic rifles, ballistic knives, and more.

Depending upon your exact offense, criminal record, and circumstances surrounding the crime, you may face up to 20 years in prison.
