What Constitutes Weapon Charges in NYC?

Weapon Charges in New York City

Law enforcement, particularly in New York City, are aggressively searching out illegal weapon possessions and aggressively prosecuting. The second amendment to our country's constitution states: the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. In the course of trying to protect people, law enforcement can sometimes violate the constitutional rights of another.

If this has happened in your case, skilled criminal defense legal counsel can take hard-hitting action to move that any charges against you be dropped immediately. There are local, state and federal laws that place restrictions on the possession, use, sales or trafficking, manufacturing, and importing or exporting of deadly weapons.
