Raleigh Weapons Charges Attorney

Facing a weapons charge is a very serious legal situation and is heavily punishable under North Carolina state law. If you or your loved one has been booked on a weapons charge, contact our office today to speak with the Raleigh Criminal Attorney to begin your case immediately.

In the state of North Carolina, it is illegal to:

Carry a concealed weapon without a concealed weapon permit anywhere other than on your own property.
Carry a firearm into an establishment where admission is charged and/or where alcohol is served.
Carry a firearm or weapon onto school property.

Possessing a weapon on school grounds or during a crime will increase the severity of that crime from a misdemeanor to a felony. Felony weapons charges often result in prison time.

In order to convict someone of a concealed weapons charge, the prosecution must prove the following:

The weapon was intentionally concealed.
In the case of a firearm, the weapon was indeed actually a firearm.
The defendant attempted to use the weapon for illegal purposes.
The defendant was not engaged in a recreational activity where the weapon was in use, or in transit from that legitimate activity.

Even if you know that you have committed a crime or were in the possession of an illegal weapon or firearm, the Raleigh Criminal Attorney still may be able to drastically improve your case. Contact us today for a free initial consultation about your illegal weapons case.
