Gun Crime Attorney

You Need a San Diego Attorney experienced with Gun Crimes
Most people will tell you that as Americans, we are guaranteed the right to own or possess a firearm.  However, outside of hunting or target practice, there are few instances where you can legally use your gun. In addition, there are also certain places when just the possession of a gun could have you arrested, such as at an airport or on school grounds.  Being convicted of a felony or certain misdemeanor crimes could forever bar you from owning any type of firearm.
Other times, you may have legally been in possession of the firearm, but had it too close to the ammunition or it was being transported in a way that is illegal.  Certain crimes have allegations that significantly increase the criminal penalties if a firearm were even possessed during the commission of the crime or were in the dominion and control of the person being arrested.  In any or all of these cases, having an attorney familiar with gun crimes and penalties can assist in making sure you are not convicted of doing something that was not in fact illegal.
If you are charged with a crime involving the use or possession of a gun, contact Attorney Michael S. Berg today for a free consultation.
