New York Gun Laws
In New York, a conviction of possession of a loaded firearm without a permit carries a potential minimum sentence of at least two years in prison. Even if you live in another state where your gun is licensed and legal, you will be tried under New York laws if this is where the alleged crime took place.
We defend clients against a wide range of weapon crimes charges, including:
- Criminal use of a firearm
- Unlawful possession of a firearm
- Assault with a deadly weapon
- Illegal manufacturing or transport of firearms
Illegal weapon charges are not limited to the possession and use of firearms, but can involve knives, switchblades, brass knuckles, nunchucks, throwing stars and even items not intended to be weapons, like bottles and motor vehicles.
As a former prosecutor, attorney Eric M. Sears is knowledgeable in the strategies the government uses to try to get weapons crimes convictions. He will work tirelessly to protect your rights and spare you from the consequences of a conviction.
