At Essere – The Defenders, we assist with charges involving unauthorised firearm possession, prohibited weapons, unsafe storage, use of a firearm in crime and licence breaches. Matters range from technical licensing issues to serious allegations involving violence.
Most firearms and many other items such as certain knives or sprays are regulated and require a licence or specific authority. Possessing or using them without the correct authority can lead to criminal charges and confiscation.
Yes, even unintentional breaches such as letting a licence lapse or failing storage requirements can result in prosecution. A criminal lawyer can explain the circumstances to the court and seek to minimise penalties where the breach was not deliberate.
Using or having a firearm during another offence, such as robbery or assault, is treated extremely seriously and often attracts mandatory or higher penalties. Specialist representation is essential because of the risk of lengthy imprisonment.
Depending on the outcome and licensing authority’s decision, it may be possible to have seized firearms or licences restored. Legal advice will clarify your prospects and any steps needed to challenge adverse decisions.
