Fighting to Protect Your Second Amendment Rights

While the Second Amendment gives American citizens the right to own and possess firearms, this right is not absolute. There are laws and requirements for valid gun ownership and how and where guns can be carried and used. If you have been charged with a gun crime, Lancaster Law Office, LLC is here to help. Our Denver gun rights lawyer has nearly 20 years of experience and extensive knowledge of gun rights and Colorado gun laws.

If you have been charged with a weapons offense, call (303) 569-8410 for a free case evaluation.

Gun Charges in Colorado

While gun ownership is a protected right, there are situations in which an individual may be prohibited from carrying a firearm. In addition, failing to abide by Colorado’s gun laws could result in felony or misdemeanor charges, depending on the situation.

We represent clients facing firearms charges, such as:

  • Unlawful purchase of a firearm – Individuals purchasing a firearm illegally or for a person who is prohibited from owing a firearm, such as a convicted felon, could be facing a felony charge.

  • Illegal discharge of a firearm – Knowingly discharging a firearm into a dwelling or occupied building may result in felony charges.

  • Prohibited use of a firearm – This charge is for incidents such as recklessly firing a gun or using a gun while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

  • Unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon – If you do not have a concealed handgun permit or carry a gun where firearms are prohibited, such as a government building, you could be charged with unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon.

  • Defacing a firearm – Removing or altering a serial number is prohibited by state and federal law.

  • Possession of a weapon by a previous offender – Convicted felons are prohibited from possessing a firearm.

If you are accused of a gun crime, your freedom and right to own or possess a firearm could be in jeopardy. Don’t leave your future to chance. When you need experienced legal representation, our Denver gun rights attorney is available to take cases 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Gun Law Violations Carry Severe Penalties

In Colorado, gun crimes can be misdemeanors or felonies. A weapons violation can have lasting consequences on your life and limit your right to own a firearm in the future. The specific penalties you may be facing depend on the charge and whether it is a misdemeanor or a felony.

The penalty for weapons violations in Colorado include:

  • Possession of an illegal weapon – A Class 1 misdemeanor with a penalty of six to 18 months incarceration and up to a $5,000 fine

  • Unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon – A Class 2 misdemeanor with penalties that include up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine

  • Possession of a defaced firearm – A Class 1 misdemeanor

  • Unlawful purchase of a firearm – A Class 4 felony that is punishable by up to six years in prison and fines of up to $500,000

  • Possession of a weapon by a previous offender – This Class 6 felony charge can result in up to 18 months of incarceration and a fine of up to $100,000
