Weapon Offenses

A common offense is possession of a firearm without a permit.  This is a misdemeanor and can result in a sentence of up to a year.  It is also illegal to brandish a deadly weapon in a threatening manner.  This is a misdemeanor and a jail sentence from 30 days up to a year.  A more serious offense is felony assault with a deadly weapon carrying a 2 to 4 year sentence.  There are defenses to these charges which your attorney will know of and will raise in court.  For instance you may be responding to a serious threat from a robber justifying your use of the weapon.
