State and federal laws, as well as the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, protect your right to bear arms. However, carrying a gun without a license could result in criminal charges.
If you are facing gun charges, a gun lawyer can help you understand your rights. A Reading gun lawyer with McKenzie Law Firm, P.C. can advocate for you while you face gun charges. Our defense attorney can help you stand up against gun crime allegations and fight to protect your right to bear arms.
Your right to own a gun does not come without restrictions. For example, according to the Pennsylvania State Police, you must have the proper license to carry a concealed weapon. Furthermore, the U.S. Department of Justice outlines federal gun laws, which include restrictions on who can carry and possess firearms.
If you face state or federal gun charges, our Reading criminal defense lawyer may be able to represent you. Our firm can defend against charges involving:
According to 18 Pa. C.S.A. § 6108, you are allowed to publicly carry certain firearms in Pennsylvania, as long as you have a valid license that demonstrates you were approved to carry the gun. Carrying an unlicensed firearm, however, comes with consequences, per 18 Pa. C.S.A. § 6106.
Carrying a gun without the proper license may result in penalties such as:
